This group of scumbags has already been discredited.
Old news.

I don't have a blog, so I am not that in tune with the etiquette, but I thought I heard someone once say that it is considered to be in bad taste to do it.

Is this what someone in this thread referred to as "blog pimping"?

I'll grant you this Churchy --- you engage and try to defend your postions.

This poster not only excerpts his own blog, but also serial posts articles that we would expect democrats to post and he rarely, if ever, replies.

It would be nice to recall their sorry arses back to active duty, give them order they will refuse then Courts Martial them, strip all pay and benefits and give them dishonorable discharges.

I wonder what positions in a possible Dem administration these three arm chair Generals are after?

When you can only get three generals out of 10,000 living current and past flag officers your point is pretty weak.

My first thoughts exactly. A convenient little story to take some attention away from the Angry ex-President.

John Carey, aren't you the one who claimed to know Richard Armitage as a friend a week or so ago?

This appears to have been written by you. No sources given. You could have just published your work on an established News thread instead of appearing to be your own cheerleader/salesman.

... testimony before the Democratic Policy Committee of the U.S. Senate ...

This is just some hack Democratic Party committee -- not an official Congressional committee. It has no relevance other than as campaign propaganda.

I had a disagreement with another poster on this. He/She took offense to my negative statements regarding the NYT and NYT in a given thread that had the LAT as a source of a negative story regarding the Army budget, revolt of the generals and so on.

My point of issue there (and in some other threads) is that the media is a battleground as well. We ignore it at our own peril, and that in a time of war, free speech does have responsibilities and limitations.

The NYT has consistently shown they cannot be trusted with sensitive information, and the fact that their sources are hidden should not exempt them from those responsibilities.

Not everyone agrees, however.

We must stick together and find a way to blame the Democrats.

That's how accountability is handled, my friend.

"Who did they work for, what is their political affiliations and to whom do their monetary contributions flow?"

More than likely they were anti-war hacks at the Pentagon during the Clinton Administration.
