Another General that hates America
Gen. Joseph Hoar: Iraq Like Revolutionary War, Only “We Have Red Coats”


Iraq will be a terrorist breeding ground in the region for years to come:

I want to leave you with something that I think is really important. I was in the Middle East on a trip of five countries this past winter, and in Saudi Arabia there seemed to me to be agreement that, regardless of what happens in Iraq, these jihadis that are now there…, these people are going to be well trained and be out of a job, and they’re going to disperse into the local countries and continue their work. And so it seems to me that the Defense Department not only needs to think about disengaging in Iraq, but to develop the contingency plans if you wind up with a full-scale insurgency in, say, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, or if these people redouble the efforts of Hezbollah and

Compare the above with Fat Tony Blankly over at the Huffington Post who thinks we need to now declare war on the entire Muslim world....

5. Why aren't you carrying an M-16 in Iraq, then?
There's a major shortage of enlistees to fight this war....your pResident needs you. If you believe your talking points so much, enlist. Otherwise you're just another Yellow Republican who has watched too many John Wayne movies.

Another mindless chickenhawk, regurgitating the RNC talking points who is willing to let this administration carry out war crimes in our name and send someone else's kids to a war you won't fight yourself.

I've heard this all before. 30 years ago we had to fight the dreaded communists "over there", so they wouldn't float their sampans and attack us over here. We killed 2MM of them and lost 50,000 of ours....please tell me what we won? Cheap Labor?

Got to have some justification to spend $400BB/year to feed the corporate welfare war machine.

9. Wrong.
But as you've posted admitting what you are, that isn't much of a surprise.
