From John Edwards to Mark Sanford, the decade's memorable affairs.
you do not speak thr truth in this admin. Iran will be attack before the year is out,and that is that. What a sorry mess it will be. More paper to make more money will be needed.
We need to confront directly the notion our government may operate according to its own will outside of the boarders of the USA. It is a barbarous and lawless condition where murder and theft may be committed on a gigantic scale, so long as it occurs outside of the boundaries of our land. I would encourage a new amendment to the constitution making very clear the binding nature of our Constitution upon our government acting in any capacity, whether in foreign jurisdictions or domestically. Unjust foreign policies that result in the destruction of innocent life and property must be considered as carefully as any life-endangering matter is here at home. They must themselves submit to the law, if they want to claim the authority of the law. If not, what else could they be called, except barbarians and murderers?
maybe adm. fallon believed the prez when he says he listens to commanders and give them what they want. maybe this is sec. gates way of passive agressive policy management of iraq/iran policy(he is a bush1 guy who's policies were savaged by his son). so when the adm. (who is in charge of overall strategy)tells the prez in private and channels many times i am sure, that his political goals are compromising military goals he believed he would be listened to, and will give the adm. what he needs, less saber rattling. gen. P has the ear of the bushies because his tactics are their last best hope. and the bushies are fighting a war with tactics not 'stateegery'. the mil.sucesses cannot stand if the bushie political side is not working and even hurting sucess. that IT is the reason for failures in iraq. also adm. fallon may be following the tradition of the officier corps(or those looking for more stars)of realizing a looser and getting away from it . or maybe he is a patriot who does not want to send the u.s. into a war w/o the manpower(draft) and industrial planning/base in place to suceed. saluting and shutting up is a proud military tradition, except during the clinton prez when some brass and congress reps loudly proclaimed that clinton was not C-i-C and would not follow him. and openly questioned policy with troops in the field and council cut-in -run. i guess what i am saying is i think getzel left a ? off his post.
