[Mika]

Speaking out agin Bush policy in the ME.

[madame defarge]

1. Thanks! He's a great great man & gentleman...

He was one of our guest panelists at our "Out of Iraq" event in January. Intelligent, pragmatic, diplomatic, honest... Can't say enough about him. Just listen how well he handles people.

[babylonsister]

2. Watching; very logical, believes in diplomacy, which we aren't

seeing at all with this corrupt bunch.

[Blackhatjack]

3. He Summed Up Consequences of Iran Attack Very Well ....

...is anybody listening in the WH? House? Senate? Where are the patriots?

[Blackhatjack]

5. Novel Idea: You want to negotiate with those you might go to war with

... to avoid war. Not an idea the NeoCons have grasped yet.

[babylonsister]

4. Some clown just called Gard a 'dummy'. "You don't negotiate

with terrorists, dummy." How rude!

[madame defarge]

7. We do think alike, babylonsister! n/t

[marmar]

Wow. Did you hear the mother of the 2 soldiers?

Sistagirl is pissed!

[madame defarge]

6. Bush supporters are friggin' idiots!!!

That idiot that just called in from Michigan who called this Ret. Lt. General "a dummy"!!! Un-frigging-believable! And that's being "patriotic"??? Of course, Gen. Gard handled this idiot with the utmost respect.

[Mika]

10. Yep. They want WAR! (But they don't want to fight in one.) n/t

[whistle]

8. Every time I see the abbreviation ME for middle east associated...

...with some type of military action, I have a momentary thought that it might actually be referring to the State of Maine (ME). With the fascist regime running things this is not impossible!

[Blackhatjack]

9. Top Military Officers Agree, Never Fight When You Can Negotiate

...an acceptable position. NeoCons agree, never negotiate when you can use military power to get what you want -no matter what the cost in lives and money.

[Mika]

11. Only as long as its not their lives nor their money, Tax cut tax cut..

.. tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut tax cut

12. Money Quote:"You Cannot Fight A Tactic, Terrorism is a Tactic"

Clearly he understands the reality of the situation("we are bogged down in Iraq(like in Vietnam)". I just wonder if the top brass at the Pentagon agree with him, or have they all been replaced and marginalized by the NeoCons.
