11. He hasn't forgotten. He wants voters to forget.

This is a toady who supported the "failed policy" of invading Iraq in the first place. This is a sycophant who has carried water for the corruption of the Cheney/Bush cabal. The top military ranks have been totally decimated by an adminstration that demands 'answers' that share the delusions of 'castles in the sky.' The Cheney/Bush adminstration has forced the retirements of nay-sayers and promoted sycophants. It has been right out of Hitler's playbook - politicizing the military leadership.

10. It happened a couple weeks ago too on MTP with Lindsey Graham

He also hinted that it was the fault of the generals. That is the new talking point, otherwise, how could they justify Bush firing the generals who disagreed with him?
