FRANKS : My feelings were hurt that I was not invited to the Democratic National Convention.
A slap up side the head to all those arm chair quarterbacks the DNC put on stage.

DO YOU THINK BUSH SHOULD BE RE-ELECTED? The way I'm going to mark my individual ballot I'll keep to myself. Whether we like Bush or not, the quality of his judgments and the quality of his leadership has been honest. I respect him for that.
"WHETHER WE LIKE BUSH OR NOT, THE QUALITY OF HIS JUDGEMENTS AND THE QUALITY OF HIS LEADERSHIP HAS BEEN HONEST. I RESPECT HIM FOR THAT."

"and I suspect a lot of other peoplewould have had a whole lot better feeling undertaking these very important matters if Don Rumsfeld had been a very concerned people person"
Touchy, Feely BS!

Nice to see the media asking the hard questions. They clearly want to know the facts about the Iraqi war.
/not.

Touchy, Feely BS! Nope -- Rumsfield has demonstrated that he's not a good people manager -- but then very few of us ARE. He is good at what he does but a guy can have failings too you know -- nobody's perfect

General Franks can't be serious about this, can he
He is serious and it IS true -- a military guy would think that someone who had been in the military would know what he's thinking.
Also, a recently retired General shouldn't parade his political feelings -- our army is an apolitical organisation and it should stay that way

IN YOUR BOOK, YOU ABSOLVE YOURSELF, PRESIDENT BUSH AND DEFENSE SECRETARY donald RUMSFELD OF INADEQUATE POSTWAR PLANNING. SO WHO'S RESPONSIBLE? I'm very disappointed he didn't put the blame on Clinton, where it belongs.

He may not suffer fools and idiots in the press corp well, and maybe not the staff that serves him, but this is WAR, time to get very serious and set feelings aside!

True, enough, and the General doesn't criticise his handling of the war, just points out a few of Rummy's human failings

SHOULDN'T A SUPERPOWER BE ABLE TO GET THE ELECTRICITY IN IRAQ TURNED BACK ON AFTER MORE THAN A YEAR OF TRYING? How does the media continue to get away with asking questions like this? We heard months and months ago that electric power had exceeded pre-war levels. The media has become an enemy of this country's best interests.
To: Ramonan
He was in over his head. Educated beyond his intelligence and kept on by request of the first President Bush.
Not much of an endorsement IMO.

Franks isn't the first retired General who turned out to be a Democrat, and he won't be the last. I think, overall, he did a good job, and Bush was right to trust him.
But that doesn't mean I will like very much of what he does or says in the future.
To: Ramonan
I would urge all of you to contact the GOP, so that they invite General Franks to the upcoming convention - after all, he will vote for President Bush. Let's all send Ed Gillespie, or whoever is in charge to make that happen!
The DNC did not, and he says 'he was very disappointed'.

Just a thought, but ignore Time magazine and buy the book.
To: speekinout
There's no indication in this piece that Franks is a democrat. In fact, he said he's leaning toward voting for Bush.
