I just read it, don't have a link. Dead at 91.
Rest in Peace William Westmoreland, you sure as hell gave the world none.

Did you all hear that "Charlie and the Chocolate factory" opened at #1 this week at the box office?

I am sure the war party will erect a statue to him now.

You clearly have no idea how evil that man was. He made Bush look like an altar boy.

but my reaction is how I would react when Idi Amin or Timothy McVeigh died: to move on to news that I actually care about.
Toodles!

Hadn't thought about it that way. Westmoreland was sort of personal for me.
Idi Amin, now there's a name you don't see every day. About as rare as the Ibo.

| 4. I wonder who came to meet him when he crossed over. |
|
Betcha there were a few thousand restless ghosts who wanted a word or two with him!

| 6. Or as we unaffectionately called him in the 60's........... |
|
General Waste-More-Land. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Maybe he'll be visited upon by the spirits of the thousands of young men he sent to their deaths so long ago. I hope there's some way to exact revenge in the next world.

| 7. I really wanted to say something nice about the human being. |
|
But I can't. This lying bag of shit killed, wounded and maimed a lot of folks for personal glory. At least the motherfucker won't be polluting the earth with his CO2 emissions anymore.

It's one less Republican vote in 2008!
Edgar Ray Killen and Eric Rudolph are in jail for life, and that makes 2 more ineligible Republican voters too!

His last words: "We are winning the war, our troops should be home in three months".

| 12. Dead? Well, let's hope it's nothing serious. |

He was just "following orders".
