5. This is a very sad message.

* and Cheney and all of the little folk that were too afraid to fight in war have created the cauldron of death. Unfortunately, Patraeus needs to go. In the end he is actually Betray-us!

7. God! What I wouldn't give to have the likes of General Shalikashvili back in Washington D.C.

A four-star general and an out-and-out liberal. A great man. My brother knows him personally, and says he's just a super guy. He suffered a stroke a few years ago, and is living in a nursing home in Dupont, south of Fort Lewis.
