No, my point is yes men make general, they don't make good generals. Honest people willing to shake things up dont make general unless they slip through the cracks. Most of these guys would make the most crooked CEOs look honest in comparison. This sytem like most other systems is broken. My point ws I would seriously doubt voting anyone into power that was able to make it up to general in the military. I don't know enough about Powell to comment much but I have heard stories, and lots of them and he wasn't all he was spun to be. Same with Swartzkauff (sp). Patton was one of those that slipped through but that was old Army too before we got so political. There are a few but they are far between. Most are outright disgusting. You think you hear lies from Washington or the Market, you should hear the spin they pull in this world!!!!!!! ========== As for Bush and sending us in to fight. He may have made a spin to win support but I will tell you that we would rather go fight Saddam to get rid of him for who he was and what he stood for than for Clinton when he just wanted the press off his back. To him, we were a distraction force so he could pull his stunts. I don't care is f he was getting hummers in teh Oval Office but he lied and then used the military for non-strategic reasons. That was unforgivable. No one is going to cry that we kicked Iraq under Bush. We may not win the peace, but we won the war and the world is a better place. Had Clinton sent us in to take care of Saddam the first time he kicked out the inspectors and let us take out Osama when they had him in their sites, there would be thousands of people alive today that aren't with us now, Bill Meehan to name one. Good Luck, Lee
