@John P,
Dear major or general or whatever you are.
A real general does not brag about himself.
You brag about being a Veteran of Vietnam. The whole world and most Americans (except you) know that Vietnam was a disaster for Americans.
Vietnam fought two (France and the USA) superior armies complete with airforces and navies which they (the Vietnamese) don't have for more than two decades and yet those "little stinking yellow bastards" beat the hell out of the frenchies and the yankees.
You stated that Saddam used WMD against his own people, yes everybody knows that, the whole world knows that, but of course you don't know (as a general?) that while Saddam was doing it, Rumsfeld was shaking hands with Saddam after the US was furnishing Saddam's war machine with money and heavy materials (heavy trucks) to help him out.
You also stated that Saddam was giving money to the Palestinian 'terrorists' in their fight against the Israelis. Well, Saddam is an arab and the palestinians are arabs, is that hard to understand? The US is giving the Israelis $3-5billion a year to fight and oppress the Palestinians and 99% of Americans are not Jewish.
You also stated that Saddam is helping Al-Qaeda. Well as a Lt. General (3stars) you should know that that is NOT true. Even your own Commander in Chief has admitted that Saddam has no connection with Al-Qaeda or Bin Laden. Also the Congressional Committee investigating the 9/11 attacks came to the conclusion that Iraq/Saddam has no connection whatsoever with the 9/11 terror attacks and with Bin Laden.
What kind of a top Staff Officer in the US Armed Forces are you that you still don't know about it?
After reading all of your scribes I really have come to the conclusion that any General of the Salvation Army is better informed than you, n'est-ce pas mon general?
