Wherefore art thou, Lily?
Listening To The Generals On The Ground
It's pretty apparent, despite all of his claims, that George Bush does NOT listen to his commanders on the ground. Otherwise they would not be doing this:
When generals have to retire in order to tell the president the truth, something is fundamentally wrong with the process.

It was recently reported that 70% of the troops returning from duty in Iraq say as much and worse.
The American people will wake up, someday. God bless the peace makers and to Hell with the warmongers. 2,000 years ago Jesus warned us about all this. Some of us refuse to listen to His advice.Originally Posted by Baron Von Esslingen

If generals are retired, by definition, they wouldn't be on the ground would they?

I'm ashamed of these Generals, just as I am of Kerry and Murtha..
They should also be ashamed of themselves...
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."

I think the Generals, and Kerry and Murtha are honest Americans, Stephanie.
I am ashamed only of you and your demonstrated ignorance.

Whatever......If you would rather run me down, instead of addressing the post......So be it.....Nothing new here....
I posted my opinion on the commercial and what I thought of it...But you would rather take a shot at a poster, I guess because you have nothing else.....????
Which is not uncommon for you.....
You believe you can demoralize a person so they will not respond to you...
You have succeeded doing that with a lot of people........
Keep up the good work........

I addressed the post and reflected my agreement with it. You took a shot at me and I returned it.
I tried to help you, even honestly sympathized with your pitiful existence, and you shat upon me like I was dirt under your feet. I am no elephant but I don't forget.Whatever......If you would rather run me down, instead of addressing the post......So be it.....Nothing new here....

My intent has never been to run you down, staphy, and I will not accept your accusations as anything other than to toot your own horn. Be that as it is, I told you I was 'done with you" and I am. Please refrain from your begging PM's and pitiful remarks on posts to me in the future. You yanked my chain. I fell for it and tried my best and now you kick me as a rock on your merry road. You don't deserve my attention or anyone else's.
Get your kicks on Route 66.

No truce, bitch, and I did not display your PM's to anybody.
I was sincere and you are the dancer. My regret is that I did not recognize it as you were yanking my chain. That's OK. You didn't kill me therefore you have made me stronger.You were as sincere as you were in displaying my PMS to everyone.....
So no....I will not take your damn display of sincerity as a truce...

I'll be OK. I hope you will be the same.

Generals are basically politicians with Majors and Colonels doing the real work. I wonder which political office this guy is planning on.
My father, who spent 29 years in the Air Force, spent the last 2 flying the Air Force version of a corporate jet...he wanted to be hirable once he retired. The guys he flew around on those jets were mostly Generals......he didn't like or respect very many of them. He felt that they had given up being military men when they got to that rank and become nothing but spoiled politicians, from what I have seen, I AGREE..
No matter where I've traveled or how great the trip was, it's always wonderful to return to my country, The United States of America......... me
Wherefore art thou, Lily?
They WERE on the ground in Iraq and quit because your Boy George refused to listen to them. That's the whole point; to refute the claim that he "listens" to his generals. He only does when they agree with him.

Count on these generals getting swiftboated.

They were on the ground in the past... on the ground IN Iraq... commanding the troops...

why, because they chose to speak the truth?
So it's now out in the open that Bush lies when he says he listens to the generals on the ground...
Are you also ashamed of bush? Or do you admire liars?
Lost your job? Thank the republicans!
