"Think of President Harry Truman and President Lyndon B. Johnson, who both understood that war was too important to be left to the generals in the field. "

Clearly she has not been taught proper history. This statement should read:
"Think of President Harry Truman and President Lyndon B. Johnson, who both neither of whom understood that war was too important to be left to the generals politicians in the field cozy offices."

War makes strange bedfellows.

What would Helen Thomas know about "bedfellows"?

That old crone is a disgrace to America.
I wish I could express my true feelings about her and her treasonous writings, but, sigh, I couldn’t bear to be apart from you all for three days sitting out my suspension by Jim-Rob....

And while Helen prattles on with this perspective, the FACT that the Rodham rodent ppoint blank asked Petraeus in open hearings just what would losing look like ... in effect coming to the aid of al qaeda to find out just what qaeda and the Islamofascists must do to garner democrat forced withdrawal of our forces there. The democrap party is the greatest threat to this Republic, far more dangerous than al qaeda in the long run. And the sheeple dance merrily along worshipping one or the other socialist DNC candidate.

OMG - She actually thinks LBJ was a good wartime president? I don’t know what to say. It’s like talking to someone who thinks the earth is flat.
