I thought you told Celeste to listen to people who are experienced in War and Terrorism, with your new criteria I should only believe Bush and the current general working under Bush and nobody else. Might the current general be biased toward his commander in chief? The opposite of “an ax to grind”?

I guess you don’t remember that these generals (Tommy Franks, John P. Abizaid and Eric K. Shinseki) were the same generals who told Bush and Rumsfeld they could not establish control in Iraq with the troops the White House sent to Iraq . Oh yes it was soooooo many years ago, ALL these generals who are freely speaking on the war in Iraq , all know absolutely nothing about the war in Iraq ooops Mesopotamia.

Let me use logic to analyze the subject of war in Iraq “Do I believe Woody, or a bunch of generals”?

It’s almost as bad as former President Carter, having been out of office for decades and pretending to have his wits about him, telling the rest of the world that U.S. policies and actions are always wrong.

Plus, my ex-husband wasn’t working in that building at that moment by sheer luck — half his company was in a different location.

What did frustrate me on that day here in L A, where we went about trying to act “normal” was how little people in L A seemed to care. However, the family (two gay guys and a kid) in a house just three doors down went down in that plane and there was a makeshift shrine that sprouted up, with saddest of all, teddy bears and kids’ toys. It really is Pearl Harbor but worse, because then, at least we knew WHO the enemy was, and they had a code of honor and were out in the open.

Oh yes it was so many years ago when Generals Tommy Franks, John P. Abizaid and Eric K. Shinseki were in charge of the war in Iraq ,these “ancient” generals whose opinions the White House and Rumsfeld dismissed and even vilified. I think Iraq was known as Mesopotamia when these generals were there years ago, is that right?

Gen. Eric K. Shinseki

General Odom, Gard and Bastiste also need to properly pronounce “Mes-o-po-ta-mi-a” not “Iraq”

LAR, I would get along fine with Bill Clinton personally as long as he didn’t mention politics or lie to me. Well, there goes any possibilities of our friendship.

rlc, I do remember and think about Pearl Harbor Day every year. It threw my dad into the war. I remember the Alamo when I visit it and when I watch “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure.”

Woody,

That was definitely a profound, logical and analytical comment about the war in Iraq. These experts are the type of people we need to believe, NOT left wing liberals like Celeste. We should definitely listen to people who are paid to understand the war in Iraq and not just make those spoon-fed comments by any political party.

Now let us see what the retired generals who can now speak freely and openly and really know the subject of war, Iraq and terrorists have to say about the war in Iraq and Bush.

It is a unsettling graphic, which shows where the twin towers once stood prior to 9/11.

*******************

Either my computer monitor and graphics card combination sucks or my eyes are going bad. I stared at the picture many times before I noticed the outline of the towers. I knew I had to be missing something because Celeste told us what the picture represented. Maybe it’s just me, but that picture sucks.

Pokey; good comment about the Alamo. Fortunately illegal aliens have not been blamed for the 9-11 attacks; thank Allah that Ben Laden likes video cameras.
