ATTA BOY TOMMY!!! This was my favorite part...........

 

During his 30-minute speech, Franks took an occasional jab at the media and fellow generals for attacking Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.

 

"We haven't got any generals here. They're all in front of TV cameras complaining about Don Rumsfeld," Franks deadpanned. "Difference is, I know what I'm talking about."

 

Franks staunchly defended his friend -- even as he called him "grumpy" and "grouchy."

 

"I don't care about your politics. I don't. Don Rumsfeld is an American patriot."

Franks is a thug and a de facto war criminal via the concepts of the Nuremburg Tribunals. So, I don't really give a flying f*** what the murderous bastard has to say.

LOL! There ya go again citing bogus, leftist rants like this. People who write for sites like that think everyone who ever put on the uniform of the American military are war criminals.

I agree with Nuke it is interseting how all of these liberal pigs who write stuff like this never touched a uniform are now bashing our miltary.

For shame, first he rips Kenny Williams and the entire White Sox organization and now he's going after Rumsfeld, when will he learn to keep his damn mouth shut?

http://www.ivaw.net/ -- That any better for you?

 

And if you want to talk about bashing the military -- how about the fact that US has denied for years that Gulf War Syndrome is an actual disease (from Gulf War I) or the fact that there are numerous homeless vets that have received little to no assistance from our government.

 

Nearly 300,000 veterans are homeless on any given night, and almost half served during the Vietnam era, according to the Homeless Veterans coalition, a consortium of community-based homeless-veteran service providers. While some experts have questioned the degree to which mental trauma from combat causes homelessness, a large number of veterans live with the long-term effects of post-traumatic stress disorder and substance abuse, according to the coalition.

 

And veterans from this most recent Iraq foray are showing up at homeless shelters as well. Here's a source from the notoriously liberal biased Washington Moonie Times

And yes, the usage of cluster bombs is ILLEGAL. Yet we used them anyways. Wrong is wrong no matter who does it or says it. The Nuremburg Tribunal clearly states that the wanton devastation of a city is a war crime (shock and awe, the demolishing of Fallujah etc.) Also, during the Nuremburg Tribunals, the concept of pre-emptive/preventative warfare was a Nazi Defense used by the surviving Nazis to shift blame from their atrocities. The Allies (including the US) threw out the defense saying that the idea of pre-emptive/preventative warfare was a war crime, a crime against peace and a crime against humanity.

 

The legal precedent is quite clear. The facts don't change just because you don't happen to like the person saying them, Nuke, Minors and General Franks. All the US tries to do is stick our fingers in our ears and yell "LALALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" to anybody calling us out for being just as guilty of war crimes.

For shame, first he rips Kenny Williams and the entire White Sox organization and now he's going after Rumsfeld, when will he learn to keep his damn mouth shut?

 

 

I'd like to note here that I know more than one person currently in the military who do NOT think highly of Rumsfeld, or Franks for that matter. This does not constitute any sort of quorum of course, but I get the impression it isn't an unusual feeling among the troops.
