I can see this as So. Cal and Texas and other Southern border states are invaded by the teeming hordes from warming warmer climates in search of subsidized air conditioning....

So build the fence already.

No wonder Al Qaeda and the Taliban took over Afghanistan and were launching attacks against us on this clowns watch. Zinni is a dolt, marine or no marine.

Right! There is no excuse.

Gen. Anthony "Tony" Zinni, President Bush's former Middle East envoy, says in the report: "It's not hard to make the connection between climate change and instability, or climate change and terrorism."

BWA HA HA HA HA HA! So, the liberals can see a connection between Global Warming and TERRORISM, but they can't see a connection between IRAQ and terrorism??!!??

BWA HA HA HA HAHA HA HA HA HA HA HA!! Friggin' idiots, man...friggin' idiots!

Whether man is to blame or not, they must have their global warming as a pretense to institute additional, if not total control of economic activity. How are we going to extract ourselves from this Lysenkoistic nightmare?

With all due respect, Generals, Sirs, Meteorologists won’t be giving battle strategies to the military in fighting the War on Terror, if you won’t attempt to explain scientific theories of weather extremes and their underlying causes, to us and attempt to tie these to “threats to national (global) security.”

"It's not hard to make the connection between climate change and instability, or climate change and terrorism."

This is the story of chicken little and crying "fire!" in a crowded theater, all rolled into one.

but they are being ignored.

They are being ignored because the entire man-caused global warming fraud is not about concern for the supposed harm to the planet from the "climate change" that is "caused by man", but is all about implementing world-wide socialism and depending on the un-educated and the American Idol -addicted idiots to just buy into the BS they are being fed.

What I don't understand is what is in it for all these "generals" to throw in with the one-worlders in propagating this lie. This entire "global warming" hoax is all about a political agenda. It has nothing to do with the environment.

This report is a rewrite from Gorbachev’s Green Cross propaganda site.

These are the usual suspects among the anti-Bush military. If you read any story entitled something like “Generals unsure of Bush’s strategy” it’s these guys.

Now that they’ve come out speaking on every liberal issue, especially those in which they have no expertise, they undermine their credibility.

So lets draw five key points on the “Zinni” boys.

First...Think tanks don’t run for free. They pay their boys out of a pot...which someone hires them to produce reports. This report was hired out. They may not want to admit such...but you don’t produce such a report for free. The boys got their cut for this episode.

Second....to arrange for the report to come on Friday...giving no time for White House comment before the weekend...was especially planned well. And having the Think-tank boys prep’ed for the Sunday talk show circuit....again not something that is easily planned. The guy who paid for the report....helped with media requirements as well.

Third....after you read this report...you come to one absolute conclusion...it was written by one person. The style and directive nature...only one person’s....not a group of eleven. The talking dogs were paid to sign the report and to briefly read it. They didn’t write a single piece of it.

Fourth....they act as though global warming is fact...which means that they really haven’t studied the subject. I doubt if a single one of them can explain the C02 cycle and what is involved. Challenge anyone of them on a interview and they will stare at you like a cat and not be able to answer a single question related to science.

Fifth and final....comparing the Zinni boys to the likes of George Washington, Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, Blackjack Pershing, and General Patton....they can’t even stand in the shadow of such leadership...so we as a nation are indebted to them...as are a number of special interest causes.

Just my two cents.

One of the things that bothers me about the Global al Warmists is the small amount of borrowed truth by which they invest themselves with so much condemnatory arrogance.

The world is still in the recovery stages from the last Ice Age, so it may be in true fact “warming”.

However, the implication that it is doing so for atmospheric reasons, and that we are in large measure responsible is the height of self-aggrandizement.
