Well, the commission itself included two former secretaries of state on the commission, the former chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committe, a former secretary of defense, a former CIA director, and some generally bright people like Alan Simpson and Vernon Jordan. As for the staff, here's a link (note all the retired military in the military working group):

And what recommendations did they make that:

1) The Bush administration is not adopting in least in part

and

2) You think would be effective in significantly changing things in Iraq for the better
Wow. Is Bush's hearing disorder contagious?

I saw you post on the last few pages - were you reading anyone else's posts?

Before I discuss the validity of the proposed alternatives, are you acknowledging that I, and the Dems, have in fact proposed alternatives? And that all of your yelling and screaming to the contrary is a load of crap?

Military Senior Advisor Panel

Admiral James O. Ellis, Jr.
United States Navy, Retired

General John M. Keane
United States Army, Retired

General Edward C. Meyer
United States Army, Retired

General Joseph W. Ralston
United States Air Force, Retired

Lieutenant General Roger C. Schultz, Sr.
United States Army, Retired

Bunch of pointy-headed intellectuals! Probably only have "Executive" MBAs. WTF do they know?

[Note -- this was a separate advisory panel, not their military working group staff.]

S_A_M

[eta: And yes, Keane supports the surge concept -- but wishes it were bigger.]

Why would you even bother asking that question, when the answer is so obvious?

To be fair, none of them was the provost of Stanford, the governor of Texas, or the CEO of Halliburton.

Whoops -- you're right. I read the page too quickly. Thanks for the correction.

Though I have a few questions of my own -- things I wonder about, like:

-- who was the first Wahhabi Republican brilliant enough to realize that, no only does "Obama" sound kinda like "Osama", but that if you put a beard and turban on a light-skinned African-American, he looks just like an Ay-rab?

-- when he announced this insight to his Republican circle-jerk gang, did they all titter and chuckle?

-- could he hear the titters and chuckles, or did the hoods get in the way?
[serious response]
The first and really only places I heard about the Obama/Osama thing were CNN (including but not limited to Jeane Moos reporting, which I cited), and Yahoo.

Are those Republican organisations????

Further, the "Hussien" middle name thing was not known to me until Jeane Moos reported on it and drew attention to it.

Is Jeane Moos a Republican circle-jerker that you know of? I am guessing Dem, but please prove me wrong since you are obviously oh so knowledgable about so much.

As for me, I made a typo and apologised. Unlike your friends in teh Demo daisey chain gang who have institutionalised racism in the police department, courts and the schools in most every major city in the country, and will not even admit there is a problem whilst poor inner city kids are generation after generation marganalised by this demo-racism, I am not above standing up and admitting a mistake.

Anyone who knows me, knows that my only real knowledge of Senator Obama comes from knowing one of his lawschool friends and someone who was a student of his at Harvard or somewhere, and based on the word of those persons, who I have the utmost respect for, my opinion of him is qualifiedly favourable.

So shove that up your sanctimonious arse, if you can move your head enough so that there is room for it.

Regardless, you have the most weighty politico cred here, and yet these natterbing nabobs of ninicompoopery neither show you due respect nor evidence the slightest ability to entertain a thought or analyse a situation outside of the context of the kool-aid laced talking points of their DNC plantation masters.

That explains why you are re-publishing images tying him to bin Laden.

I have an extensive database of political and pornographic photos in my computer. I cut and pasted the wrong link. What I meant to cut and paste was the below.




Are you claiming you never make mistakes? My sources say differently,,,,,,
