Yow. You nailed that, it so is. And yet, the Dem politicians continue to salute it, and I don't understand why.
Posted by Brian Bell at October 3, 2007 07:55 AMRevolt? I don't think so. The closest thing we have to Col. von Stoffenberg(Hitler briefcase bomb plot) is Gen. Clark, and he's retired.
Simian shock and aw shit II with McLame and Loserman background singing "Bomb, bomb Iran" could be activated any day now, no questions asked.

Well, thank God for that. Are you seriously arguing that we should welcome a military in revolt against the civilian leadership? Just because Congress can't/won't exercise its Constitutional role is no reason to assign it arbitrarily to the uniformed services. We can't argue constitutional principle against the Republicans if we aren't willing to uphold it ourselves.
Posted by Dave L at October 3, 2007 01:03 PMYou say that "no entity in the Pentagon is even remotely brave or rebellious enough to flatly disobey combat orders." I say God let's hope not. If you really want an independent military you are always welcome to move to Nigeria.
Posted by Nick L. at October 3, 2007 01:27 PMNo, Mr Reid has been truly "caught bad" again. He is truly an embarrasment to the military. He did not even get all the democratic senators on his phony letter and at least one ( am I am sure more as time goes on) now regrets signing the letter.
As far as Mr Clark is concerned, who cares.
He has been compared to Major Frank Burns from M.A.S H.
The liberal left is in their height of glory when enmeshed in the spreading of lies.
I was listening to Rush the day he 'SUPPOSEDLY" made his comments defaming our military. NO ONE in this country is more supportive of, or does more for, our military.
The democrats, led by Reid, are worthless liberals who are destroying the country. Why would they not stoop to smearing Rush? They want to silence him.
To Pelosi and Reid and all their ilk, let me say, no matter who you get rid of, the scum will still be left.....UNTIL YOU ALL ARE GONE.
I have never in my 67 years of life seen such liars!
"... no entity in the Pentagon is even remotely brave or rebellious enough to flatly disobey combat orders."
Perhaps it is the case that these men and women uderstand that they swore an oath to obey lawfully given orders (...and are not poseurs in the mold of Lieutenant Erin Watada).
"...the Pentagon is not the disgusting boot-licking Republican prostitute everyone thinks it is."
Everyone? A rather broad statement on your part: unless you define "everyone" as only that small population that constitutes your circle of friends and fellow travellers.
But for the sake of "everyone" (else), if you believe that the Pentagon is peopled with boot-lickers and prostitutes please drop the pretense of "supporting the troops."

You have been blown out of the water and are now floundering.
"... no entity in the Pentagon is even remotely brave or rebellious enough to flatly disobey combat orders."
Perhaps it is the case that these men and women uderstand that they swore an oath to obey lawfully given orders (...and are not poseurs in the mold of Lieutenant Erin Watada)."
Officers, like Lt. Watada, took an oath to only obey "lawful orders". Anything relating to Iraq is pretty much assumed to be unlawful. Are you stupid, "combat orders"? There is no such category, except, perhaps, in your infantile mind. Do I hear your mommy calling you? She got more Doritos for you.
The Pentagon always has the prerogative to disregard "illegal" orders. Has happened before, and, sigh, likely will happen again.
and, learn how to spell, moron.

"I have never in my 67 years of life seen such liars!"
Callie, neither have we, but don't worry, the Republicons will be out of office in the near future.
Posted by Judith at October 3, 2007 06:31 PMwow, the trolls are really out, like stink on shit
and aren't they posting from Iraq? don't they support Dear Leader?

Posted by Gay Veteran at October 4, 2007 06:14 AMI've heard the edited and unedited tapes, listened to the argument from both sides, seen the comments from the soldiers, and can now say with an informed and educated opinion that I don't give a flying fuck.
Much ado about nothing. I'm way more offended by Billo and the "Holy Cow! In black-owned restaurants, they actually sit at tables and eat with silverware!"
I guess Billo thought they would just throw fried chicken in the corner and the black people would fight each other for it like pit bulls. Or at least demand more muther-fuckin' iced tea.
To Callie, I'm glad you enjoy comedian Rush Limbaugh's show. And I'm glad I don't have to listen to it.
To everyone else, just ignore Rush. All he wants is your angry attention.
