I was on the floor at that point!
He takes no prisioners.
nor should he..the media wants nothing more than to nail Pres. Bush and will try and use anyone to do it..methinks Gen. Honore is NOT that person..
Barbour/Honore or Honore/Barbour in '08.
They just don't make 'em any better than General Honore. And yes. HE'S IN CHARGE. Time for the pinheaded bureaucrats and politicians to get the hell out of the way and let the adults fix this mess. GO GET 'EM GENERAL! YOU DA MAN!!!
Some idiot at the end asked about violence. He asked her if she'd been there. She said "Yes, I sure have." He asked "were you accosted?" She said no. He said "then what the hell are we talking about this now?"
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! LOVE this guy!!
Thank God for the General.
This guy reminds me of General Patton.
I loved it when he put her in her place. He basically told her "Kitten, you're trying to piss with the big boys and you are not up to the task"!
IMO, Honore has been the only MAN in this whole thing (outside of the president). He put the press completely on the defensive and told it how it is. I loved seeing him put them in their place.
We need to give him a fourth star. :)
Coona$$ general kicks a$$, takes no prisoners.
Did he drop the bomb... or just the acronym?
Loved your comment.I can only imagine!
The army commercial on the front end of this has to be the best product placement ever.
Gosh I hope someone has it. I keep getting the video screen and clicking on Honore but nothing happens. I've tried several times!!! Help????
The General needs to slap the Mayor, who seems to have lost it.

"He should run for mayor of N'Awlins..."
Governor of La.
Gov first, prez next, and please don't go for that SH of a debating society US senate.
No.. he used the acronym... which made it funnier to me personally. Most military I've met just go ahead and say the whole thing. He clearly remembered he was on live TV.
