I must say, that if there is a hero in all this mess, it is the 1st Army Commander----cigar chomping and cussing----LTG Honore'
His press conference this week was a lesson learned of how officials (who have a spine) should deal with the media.
(Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ...
CNN the "CADAVER NEWS NETWORK" Your dead family members televised live from New Orleans as we find them.
Powell was a political animal. He made his career in the halls of Washington. As a General, he never lead any combat operation on the ground. He has been a politician his entire career.
As a General, he never lead any combat operation on the ground.
Not very many do anymore. Powell never did seem comfortable being SOS. He hasn't run for political office.
"I love people like this guy. But Powell was a pretty good general himself too. Clark--probably not."
I agree, to compare Powell to a Clinton butt kisser like Clark is !@*$#....ah,inappropriate.
Is that still the case ? :-(
Indeed, just leave out the imagery. I don't like to picture that----yuck!:)
Our Military are the very perfect pick to pull into that situation. They're trained for yrs and yrs and yrs. If they make it to the general rank, they're usual type A personalities...and smart...unbelievable smart.
Honore' was such a smart pick.
Notice W didn't have problems in the states of Mississippi or Alabama...both states had LEADERS...blanco is an absolute disgrace and should be in her kitchen cookin'... she proven she's nothing more than a housewife. And what I understand Nagin should be in jail...he's such a crook. And has proven, he doesn't have a clue how to run a city and take proper care of N.O.'s citizens.
He has brains like the Gentiles.
He is part Gentile and part Hebrew.
I think he's all Cajun.
Stormin Norman, Tommy Franks, and yes even Wesley Clark to name a few.
Nice to see a REAL man again isn't it? Cigars, cussing and getting the job done. Do NOT get in his way he'll mow you down and rightly so. Let the man do his job the way MEN DO!
not to mention All-American
Almost forgot about old Norm. What's he doing?
Mostly just wonderin where his prostate went.
Hehe
I was wondering about that too. It looks different than the Marine digital cluster...
What the heck is that supposed to mean? I can't even figure out which group ou're trying to insult.
Yesu, the Army has the digital just like the Marines. Did you know the Navy was also going to the camoflage pattern, for the life of me I can't figure out why....
"blanco is an absolute disgrace and should be in her kitchen cookin'.."
True, but you forgot to specify 'barefoot' and in her kitchen.
'Scuse me but I gotta run for my Nomex suit. ;-)
Hey, chieftain..could you straighten all this out on this thread about Honore for me? ...My head is spinning! Just too many experts. I thought Honore was a Nat Guard General?
