Baier speaks to Lt. General Van Riper for an hour and the one question he

[MSgt213]

Only on Fox and soon on CNN I think.

"Yes, an 8th Retired General comes out against Rumsfeld, Bret Baier from Fox interviews him for over an hour and only shows the video of himself asking one question. I bet you can guess what that question was. He asked Lt. General Paul Van Riper (USMC Retired), "We're in the middle of a war. You, as a retired officer are now standing up and saying (the) Secretary of Defense is not getting it done. (Pause for effect) Does that hurt the war effort?"

Luckily, the Lt. General was even quicker than Baier. His response, "It conceivably can hurt the war effort but not to do so would hurt our country, would hurt our fellow citizens and those in uniform even more."

1. these guys know we almost lost the first part of the invasion

and rummy and crew were sucked into a fluid seige war against an enemy that refused to be terrified of our "shock and awe". saddam knew the us forces if sucked into the cities would never win because the us forces couldn`t react to the changing faces of the enemy. as soon as the troops arrived and let the cities turn into anarchy the game was over and saddam had won.the generals knew or realized this as soon as the city was being looted by our soldiers and the iraqi people.
they now see our once great army, the men and women and their machines, being drowned in the sea of the arabian sands while they listen and watch the delusions of their commander in chief.

2. Sounds pretty "fair and balanced" to me. They report and I decide...

that they're morans.
