with leftist military personnel like this guy in the State Department.

You know, I hate critiquing an ex-military person...but with losers like this, it's unavoidable.

How is it that the Soviet Union didn't win with people like this in power? Amazing.

And Colin Powell should be taken to task for appointing such an idiot and lunatic as this for Chief of Staff. What does that say about Powell? (not to mention that this guy was likely just a glorified secretary who thinks he has important ideas but really just has an attitude problem).

Is U.S. being transformed into a radical republic?

Baltimore Sun

... In January 2001, with the inauguration of George W. Bush as president, America set on a path to cease being good; America became a revolutionary nation, a radical republic. If our country continues on this path, it will cease to be great - as happened to all great powers before it, without exception.

From the Kyoto accords to the International Criminal Court, from torture and cruel and unusual treatment of prisoners to rendition of innocent civilians, from illegal domestic surveillance to lies about leaking, from energy ineptitude to denial of global warming, from cherry-picking intelligence to appointing a martinet and a tyrant to run the Defense Department, the Bush administration, in the name of fighting terrorism, has put America on the radical path to ruin ...

...First, it was Mr. Perle and people such as he who put us where we are today, not the terrorists of 9/11.

... We can halt the precipitate slide in our standing around the world, convince the majority of the Islamic world that we can and must co-exist - and eventually prosper together - and at the same time confront, confound and defeat the small element in Islam's midst that lives to murder innocents, Christian, Jew and Muslim alike.

Retired Army Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, a visiting professor of government at the College of William and Mary in Virginia, was chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin L. Powell from 2002 to 2005. His e-mail is wilkerlb@aol.com

Definately General Officer material. I wonder why his Star never shined.

Colin Powell and John McCain are the MSM's favorite Republicans. Thats all you need to know about either.

thanks Buffalojack - I sometimes forget to check things like that (rep vs conservative / dem/ liberal); Powell has confused me sometimes - that's why!

I think this dude is just another of the far left - setting Bush up.

sure sounds to me like a bunch of people are working together to bring
down a presidency.

Bush must really scare them - with all the good he is doing. Not that
I agree with everything Bush says or does. He has ME really p o'd
right now about this illegal / immigration stuff.

and they're probably ticked that they haven't been able to catch him
involved with an intern ....

and wouldn't be surprised if Teddy isn't ticked that there's been 2 Bush presidents instead of 2 with the name Kennedy.
