Fox News brings in lightweight light colonel to condemn Generals

[Neil Lisst]

On Neil Cavuto. Can you imagine how many retired Generals and Colonels turned them down before they finally said "oh, hell, get that Lt. Col that will say anything we want!"

This is a retired guy who saluted a lot of generals, and may have even worked with some, and he's criticizing 3 star generals with combat experience in this war theatre recently?!

[trogdor]

1. What Lt. Col. are you talking about?

It isn't Ollie, is it?

Ollie's continued sustenance at the teat of the VRWC is proof that we haven't done a very good job of discrediting the neocon philosophy in the past. I hope we do a better job in '09.

[Neil Lisst]

3. naw, this is a guy I've never seen there before

I've seen all the regular retired military guys Fox News uses, and this guy, who didn't look 45 years old, is not one of them.

They clearly had to dig deep to get this mouthpiece.

5. Probably someone from the security force at Fox HQ looking to make a few $

If they look around long enough someone will sing their tune.

[Neil Lisst]

7. "Hey, isn't Bill the security guard a former Lt. Col? get him!!"

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. As soon as he's through his 7-3 shift he'll come up to Kneel's set.

[Neil Lisst]

15. Cavuto has the worst shills available

they always lambaste whoever is criticizing the president

[no_hypocrisy]

17. I thought Henry Blake died in an episode of M*A*S*H* decades ago......

[RobertSeattle]

2. Next week he'll be using Privates with Dishonorable Discharges

I don't mind when News networks using former Field Grade officers for technical stuff, but using a LTC or even a COL for big picture, "strategery" stuff is pretty lame.

BTW - It is "Neal, Cavuto", or is is "Neil Cavuto"... :evilgrin:

[madeline_con]

4. "Kneel, Cavuto."

:evilgrin:

[Neil Lisst]

8. I don't even want to think about Cavuto's life as an altar boy.

you know he had to be one

[TheCowsCameHome]

12. I think of him more as an altered boy.

He has that smarmy RW look.

6. Where's Tommy Franks? Another goddamn war criminal.

[Neil Lisst]

9. Franks KNEW when to leave - before it went to hell

Franks wanted to win the Afghanistan war, not fight the Iraq War. He wanted 2-3 times as many troops to take Iraq. Why? Because making a lightning strike to Baghdad may depose the regime, but it doesn't control the soldiers or weapons who carry on thereafter.

He knew when it was time for him to bail.

10. He's on Hardball now...

kissing Rummy's ass. :puke:

[cassiepriam]

13. At the Pentagon Lt Cols are the ones who hand the paper clips

to the Generals. This light col is going to be a laughing stock.......

[Neil Lisst]

14. one is in charge of small paper clips, and one is in charge of large ones

[cassiepriam]

16. The full bulls (full cols) are in charge of the large ones... nt
