WASHINGTON, Sept 28 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Today 50 former high- level diplomats, generals and admirals declared President Bush has made America less safe and called for his ouster.

Members of the group are available for interview, including in Miami, where several are giving public presentations this week in the run up to the Presidential Debate on Thursday. Several are fluent in Spanish.

The group released a public statement that says President Bush has squandered American lives and should not be trusted.

"The claim that we are safer is the biggest lie of this campaign season," states the group. "Now we are bogged down there in a quagmire with no solution in sight."

Additional excerpts:

"The plain fact is that George W. Bush and his team have succeeded in making our country and our people less safe, and more vulnerable to new terrorist attacks, by an unnecessary war against a threat that did not exist."

"We have lost the hard-won respect and admiration that America enjoyed ... Some of these losses are irrecoverable and others will take decades to repair, a process we must begin immediately by electing a new administration."

The group also accuses the President of gross negligence, stating, "Prior to 9/11 Mr. Bush and his team ignored repeated warnings about the danger of terrorist attacks."

2. Will team Buxh have to pick these people's character apart one at a time?

Or will they just declare them all mentally unstable enmass?

I don't think they have time to get at 50 of them individally.
I hope it's brought up every day in interviews AND in the debate.

Hahahaha...Kiss my ass GeeDub.
