Why is it that the only ones brave enough to answer the stupid media the way they deserve to be answered are high ranking military commanders?

The General is used to giving intructions, once, and having them carried out. He understands that the lowest private understands this. So, he can't figure out why these reporters, mostly college graduates, have to be corrected, over and over, on the same stupid questions, over and over.

I nominate Gen Honore for White House Press Secretary.

Lt. Gen. Russel Honore to MSM: "You are stuck on stupid. Over."

Worthy for use of as a tag line.

The general himself talks of Katrina - which caused potentially thousands of fatalities, displaced an estimated 1 million people, and wrecked at least 140,000 homes - as an enemy. "It was a classic military attack," he says here at Camp Shelby, the US Northern Command forward headquarters in the Katrina effort. "He destroyed communications and moved barges across roads. He created shock and paralysis."

1st time I've ever seen anyone go to a dictionary written by pencil neck geeks to define hooah. You know, I don't like it.

LOL.

When I was typing I think I was sTuck on stupid. I think my hands were still shaking after watching Lt. Gen. Honore giving the reporter a tongue lashing.

Lt. Gen. Russel Honore is never going to be reelected with that attitude towards the media.

LOL

The high ranking military commanders who speak to the press the way they deserve, do not care how the press "feels" about the information provided.
They already know the press is "compromised", and must be forced to perform their mission.
