What I don’t understand is how a 3 star that is still in uniform will be able to direct 4 stars and 4 star equivelants what to do. Seems at a minimum he’d be better if he were to retire and be nom’ed to a cabinent level position.

Fire the politically jockying git who created the entirely fabricated controversy by going to the hill and saying what he was specifically told not to say? The correct answer was simple. Even I can remember it. “I’m sorry Senator, but it would be wrong to discuss these personnel matters publicly.” The mistake was letting him last this long. Not to worry though, he’ll be on Hillary’s campaign staff next week.

Why?

For the team. For the future. Lex knows and so do I. He shuffled department heads when he was King. So did Skippy. George should too.

Jettison Gonzales..for himself & the Party. In retrospect, we might not be in the mess we are with Congress right now if’n Rummey had left just 3 months earlier. IMO, being blinders-on loyal burns any bridges to the future..politics is a zero-sum game between the two parties but should it be the same for the entity that brung ya- your own party?

Btw- what do y’all think about that troublehooting General Czar or such, he just appointed. I’m sorta scratching my head..I though we ironed out them problems a while back…

Loyalty in the Bush administration runs one way-up. Notice how quickly Gonzales threw his own minion under a bus after he resigned-blaming everything on him?

This whole thing was avoidable had Gonzales handled the situation better.

When it comes right down to it, I’m more of a conservative than a Republican – I think you have to govern, and you’ve got to be ready to throw weak and terminally wounded off the bus.
