so bush keeps a general that speaks out with a Christian terrorist type speech...nothing happens...in fact he's promoted this poor guy gets the boot....he probably told Bush that's his entire war IS A FAILURE!....anyone speaking the TRUTH gets THE AXE Army four-star general relieved of command WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Army, in a rare disciplinary act against a four-star officer, said Tuesday it relieved Gen. Kevin P Byrnes of his command after an investigation into unspecified "personal conduct." Byrnes was relieved as commander of U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command on Monday by Army Chief of Staff Gen. Peter Schoomaker, according to a brief statement issued by Army headquarters at the Pentagon. In that post, Byrnes oversaw all Army training programs and the development of war-fighting guidelines. Although disciplinary action against general officers is not uncommon, it is extremely rare for a four-star general to be relieved of command. Byrnes held the position as commander of Training and Doctrine Command since November 2002. Before that he was director of the Army staff at Army headquarters in the Pentagon. "The investigation upon which this relief is based is undergoing further review to determine the appropriate final disposition of this matter," the Army statement said. A spokesman for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Bryan Whitman, said the investigation involved "matters of personal conduct," but he would not say more. The deputy commander of Training and Doctrine Command, Lt. Gen. Anthony R. Jones, has been designated the acting commander, following the action against Byrnes, Army spokesman Paul Boyce said. The spokesman said it was an Army policy not to release information about specific allegations in an investigation of an Army officer. In April the Pentagon announced that Lt. Gen. William Wallace had been nominated for a fourth star and assignment as commander of Training and Doctrine Command to succeed Byrnes, but he has not yet been confirmed by the Senate. There was no public indication at the time that Byrnes was under investigation. Copyright 2005 The Associated Press.

This lady knows a LOT about DU and say, among other things, that Afghanistan is "uninhabitable" Wonder what that would tangibly mean if I was injecting myself with high-grade drugs made from Afghani poppies...? Sounds like a very good program for reducing population down to required levels in a world of much less oil. Namaste! Jim

There is a great need for liberal thinkers who employ sound reasoning to engage in the problems of our day. There is only so far we can go by conserving the status quo until we become oppressive. The problem is the modern day liberals can't seem to get it. For example: 1) The Rove/Plame thing. We should demand an accounting since Rove initially denied any knowledge of the thing and now we see that he knew exactly what the problem was. Bush is covering for him too. So, what do the liberals do? They exaggerate the problem to ridiculous levels, accusing the Bush Admin of trying to destroy the CIA. ... 2) The forged documents. We should demand an accounting of how flawed intelligence became operative in the State of the Union Address, and war plans. What do the liberals do? They accuse the Bush Admin of orchestrating 911 and the Iraq war to bolster their personal fortunes. There are many issues that can only be resolved through sound reasoning with a liberal attempt to innovate future solutions. For example: We have a global energy crisis so anyone willing and able to produce nuclear fuel should be encouraged. The only way this can work is by building a Global Consortium of producers that monitor and police one another other. That will never happen from a purely conservative perspective.
