Generals; it’s not rocket science, but a lot about politics!

And no common sense has come into the mix. The left and Bush haters have just gone bonkers as usual over the six generals who have come out after they retired and bashed Donald Rumsfeld. If these guys would know what they are talking about they have let the guy off the hook. The time to speak up would have been when they were still on duty! It’s too late now!!!

Look, to me it’s just common sense. If these guys would have complained during the war they would be much more credible. Now they get on TV to bash the war effort and it’s sounds like some kind of infomercial. At the end of the program you always seem to get that “Pick up General So and So’s book at your nearest bookstore” kind of ending.

If, during the war, these guys would have complained they would have either gotten results that would have helped our soldiers out or not. If not, they could have pushed the issue and gotten fired or resigned under protest. After a few of these incidents people would have taken notice. When the complaints these guys should have been making came to pass Rumsfeld would have been dead meat. He would have been fired or had to resign. These guys who would have looked like experts. These generals did not do that. They spoke up after they retired. What kind of general does that?

What kind of general quits his guys during the war? How many of our precious soldiers died because they generals did not take a stand on their behalf? The Bush haters have gotten blinded by their hatred for the President. Surely the President and Mr. Rumsfeld have made bad decisions. A lot of those decisions came with the help of our generals in the field. So do those generals share in the blame. Yes, they do. By not speaking up when they should have they have probably cost American lives and prolonged the war.

I think these generals are cowardly to speak up after the fact. Our fighting men and women deserve to be served by better generals. Or at least by generals who have some backbone. Speak out for our fighting men and women. Their lives depend on it. Don’t whine and cry after you quit and come home. We have almost surely lost lives because of these general’s actions. They need to keep quiet and not capitalize on the hatred for President Bush and Donald Rumsfeld.
