Can anyone name one person who resigned on principle during those eight long years? No? That, in and of itself, is a bold, sweeping statement about the entire Democratic party. Give 'em hell in '02 and '04. By then, the proof about Clinton's treasonous presidency will be incontrovertible.

Sadly no generals resigned on principle either. You would have thought we might have some real leaders left in the military.

Generals did resign on principle. Chief of Staff (e.g. the top AF general), General Ron Fogleman "retired early" after SECDEF Cohen wanted a fall guy and zeroed in on Brig Gen Schwalier (commander at Khobar Towers) following the barracks destruction. Cohen wanted to hang Schwalier out to dry after the incident and Fogleman stood up to him. Schwalier had little, if any, current intel but suffered the wrath.

Fogleman was immensely popular with the troops and viewed as one of the best chiefs the AF had in years. His so-called early retirement (polite for "resignation") would be like a General Hap Arnold or Curtis LeMay leaving early. Once again, the press swept over this news.

Another group of about two dozen mid-level generals resigned en masse as a group at the Pentagon; Cohen threatened them and it, too, was not brought to light.
