This guy is just one more general who could care less about him men. He has other priorities. When Bush/Cheney declare martial law, I hope he's the first to get ambushed by the people.

He found the guy, he appointed the guy, and he commands the guy. Who is surprised? The GAO has reported. The press is clear. The Iraqi people have chimed in. The members of Congress are not fools. Either they stop funding the war, as they have done to stop wars in the past, or they have to be changed. Again. And we can do that. Find and fund the antiwar candidates.
