The military seems to be cranking out “generals” and “admirals” like they’re going out of style.

I’m sure out of thousands, you can find a few that think that their best and only chance at a political appointment is to suck up to the Clinton Machine.

Does anyone seriously think the wife of Monica Lewinsky’s impeached boyfriend is Commander in Chief material? Come on, be serious now. Aquavelvajob and Chavez must be quaking in their boots.

I believe in Hilary but I cannot take another four years of Bill Clinton. I admire Hilary Clinton but Bill has proven that he cannot take a back seat.

Folks - once again 9/11 and its aftermath is, IMO, the significant factor that determines EVERYTHING about what this country stands for or should I say STOOD for before 9/11. America (esp the Presidential candidates) - digest this essay, take the heat and then demand from our leaders an explaination and a plan for getting this country back on its feet.

September 11 Was A Third-Rate Operation

“…In late April of 2001, just five months before the
September 11 attack date, Mohamed Atta was stopped for
driving erratically late at night near Ft Lauderdale,
Florida. By then, the pilots all had their licenses,
final-phase planning must have been under way. Yet,
here was Osama bin Laden’s field commander for the
entire operation, driving a red Pontiac (though 15
years old), with Arabic stickers, and no driver’s
license, or at least none he would show.

Warned and lucky, Atta was told to show up for a court
date, with a license, or a warrant would go out for
his arrest. He got the license but failed to show. Ten
weeks later, he was stopped for speeding, but
unaccountably no computer coughed up a warrant. Now
Florida has reciprocity; so at least in theory and for
no good reason, the September 11 attack team
functioned its last four months with an arrest warrant
out for their leader in 50 states…”

OT but about PA:

It seems the Clinton camp needs spanish speakers volunteers for their phone banks in PA: if you speak spanish please consider helping Hillary Clinton making phone calls (it’s easy and doesn’t cost you anything).

If I thought they cared I would gladly send them this as well as a number of other things. But I have come to the conclusion that our “leaders” don’t really care what any of us peon voters think. They have made our minds up for us, or so they think.

It isn’t just the depth of experience these endorsements comprise that makes for an impressive roster on security benchmarks and gravitas.

It’s the kind of character and depth of service the names have embodied in personal terms of service, and their combined efforts to the same goals, that is so impressive.

Obama’s paltry McPeak posits, or the Brzezinski burn-back paths he’s cultivating for future eras of fumbled diplomatic function, that’s what he has to compare against this?

No wonder he ran from an extra debate once already.

I am a Veteran and I was in the Armed Forces when President George Bush came into office. I can tell you that thinking about the possibilities is seriously not fun or funny. When the 30 something Flagged Officers are standing up for a Commander in Chief, I am listening and voting on their endorsement. 911–Never Again.

I saw that miriam and I thought like you: wow what a smart man !! He was really impressive: how he thinks, his passion, his ideas, his work. Obama is nothing next to Booker. Obama is like a flimsy feather next to this guy. Great interview by Moyers.

I am so glad this letter is out: the media should report it damn it!! It is
an incredible show of trust, admiration and support.
These guys know their stuff. They know a C in C when they see it. That that’s Hillary Rodham Clinton !!

Too bad he wasn’t a professor of Constitutional Law at Chicago as he tells everyone he was. Just an average everyday senior lecturer on “Race and The Law,” but hey, who cares about another little fib from Obama. We should be used to them by now.
