Just venting

This is exactly what Rumsfeld should be telling the media. So now there are a few retired generals (not capitalized on purpose, these asshats don't deserve it) who believe that Rumsfeld should resign. Well guess what general? It's not up to you to say who stays and who goes. It's not your call on how a War is executed. It's not your call as to whom the President names as his Sec Def. Your only reason for existing until you retired was to follow orders. I'm sure as a general you had some input on strategy, but I'm betting dollars to doughnuts they never asked your opinion on presidential Cabinet positions. I'm also guessing that part of this is more of the same old media bias. Retired genereals don't get interviewed on the mainstream media news shows unless they have a derogatory position against the current Republican leadership. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has noticed the dearth of retired Generals in support of Bush being recognized by the likes of CNN, or CBS.

This is one of those cases that drive me insane. Nothing has been proven yet, and still the media jackals have already tried and convicted these young men. Now Jesse "The Extortionist" Jackson has opened his huge versification-hole and announced that his gang, er, group, will pay this woman's tuition at UNC, even if her allegations prove false. Now I don't know who is telling the truth in this case, but if it turns out that the stripper is the one lying, don't you think rewarding her with a full-ride at UNC seems a tad odd? You don't think the good Reverend is preening for the media a bit do you? I know Jesse, why don't you take care of your kids, legitimate and otherwise, and shut the fuck up? Why not try that? Or better yet, why not do like the rest of us and at least wait until a verdict is rendered before deciding that automatically the white man is the evil one? I don't know a lot about the machinations behind the scenes on this case, but usually one needs to wait for the Grand Jury to at least indict someone before trying the case. If these boys assaulted this woman, then they should pay the price. However, if the woman is lying, then she should not be rewarded. I wonder how the contributors to Jesse's scam, I mean , organization, feel about how he's spending their contributions?
