Comments on: No Takers For Bush "War Czar"

The Skinny: Top Generals Not Interested In Becoming Overseer Of U.S. War Efforts

Bush should pick Mike Nifong for War Czar, he has the Character to fit right in with the Bush Administration.

gkc99; If you are right I appologize but I have pretty substantial prof other wise. I dont mind supporting Israel but not contrary to Americas interest as is being done now!

"Oh, yes, blame the Jews, as usual."

Unfortunately, this is a habit throughout history. And not all leftwingers trash the Jews. Some of us understand that they are a small nation surrounded by enemies (and put in that situation not entirely by their own choice, namely the UN partition) and that sometimes drastic steps are needed to survive.

But that does not mean that Israel is immune from criticism. They have some necessary policies and some really bad ones. It is not antisemitic to strongly disagee with Israeli policy if you thnk they are doing wrong, just as it is not un-American to disagree with American policy, like Iraq.

The logical choice for "war czar" is someone with actual war experience.

Someone like Marine Colonel Jack Murtha.

That choice would also be seen as reaching out to Democrats in a true spirit of bipartisanship.

"So rather than go over there, develop an ulcer and eventually leave, I said, 'No, thanks.' " General Jack Sheehan

He must have been thinking of the sh***y treatment given to retired Army General Jay Garner, an outstanding individual who was coerced into taking the job of Director of Iraqi Reconstruction, and was then forced out and replaced by the thoroughly incompetent Paul Bremer.

[rafterman1]

Funny how when in service, theese retired senior officers back the president (as they are required to do and should do) but the second they are back in civvy life and free to talk, very few are backing the admininstration. That's because most military men see the poor tactical and strategic position we are in the longer we stay in Iraq. They are not just cheerleaders with a bunch of slogans, they see the bad situation from an expert viewpoint. Maybe some of you Bush koolaiders should take heed of their advice and experience.

Oh, yes, blame the Jews, as usual.

The fact is that it was Christians who got us into Iraq, like Dickless Cheney, George W. Bushit, and the rest of the WASPs. And it's the born again Christians who support Bushit. Israel provides these Christians with useful cover, as many in the US support Israel's right to exist (unlike some of the anti-semites who hide as leftwingers). If it suited their purposes, the neocons would drop Israel in a heartbeat.

Rather, look to the oil companies and the Texas mafia to place the blame. Or look in the mirror.

"The very fundamental issue is, they don't know where the hell they're going," said Sheehan, a former top NATO commander. Sheehan said he believes that hawks like Vice President Cheney have more influence in the White House than those looking for a way out of Iraq. "So rather than go over there, develop an ulcer and eventually leave, I said, 'No, thanks.' "

McCain thinks things are pretty safe in Iraq now. So he probably doesn't think the jobs is necessary. But it would look good on his presidential resume.

[iceman_1960]

No one wants the job ?

Don Imus has some free time now.

No Takers For Bush "War Czar"

Rats swim away from a sinking ship, not toward it.

[rafterman1]

"Not only the closest President to Hitler, but he surpassed him long ago in corruption, greed, and dishonestly."

Well, no, Bush isn't Hitler. Persnally, I think the Hitler and Nazi comparisons are thrown around too much lately. It seems that anyone who disagrees with someone's viewpoint is a "Hitler" these days. But I do think Bush is the most un-American president we've ever had and is bordering on incompetent.

[king77shaw]

I just heard that the job is going to Harriet Myers !!

[bluestardad]

HEY BUSH HERE IS YOUR WAR CZAR! MIKE NIFONG HE HAS JUST YOUR CHARACTER AND SHOULD FIT RIGHT IN WITH YOUR ADMINISTRATION!

Nifong has a position waiting for him in the Bush administration.

When he heard about Nifong's corruption and incompetence, Bush remarked, "He's my kind of guy."

Bush is going to nominate Nifong to be Gonzo's replacement as attorney general of the US.

The "war czar" goes by the title "Commander in Chief" and since Bush no longer wants to be "war czar," he should resign.

I've never seen a more corrupt and incompetent administration in my life. Adding another layer of bureaucracy would do nothing to reduce or eliminate the corruption and incompetence in the Bush administration. Which starts with Bush & Cheney.

Bush & Cheney should be impeached before they cause permanent damage to the US.

[bluestardad]

I am sure Israel will give him someone from their short list! They got us into Iraq!

Even Eisenhower had problems with Israeli groups but he did not let them buy him!

READ AS THEY BRAG ABOUT THEIR INFLUENCE ON OUR GOVERNMENT!

Founded in 1953 by Isaiah L. "Si" Kenen, AIPAC's original name was the American Zionist Committee for Public Affairs. According to UCLA political science professor and author, Steven Spiegel, "the tension between the Eisenhower administration and Israeli supporters was so acute that there were rumors that the administration would investigate the American Zionist Council. Therefore, an independent lobbying committee was formed, which years later was renamed [AIPAC]." [SPIEGEL, p. 52].[citation needed] Today, AIPAC has over 100,000 members.[1]
Activities and stated goals
AIPAC's stated purpose is to lobby the Congress of the United States on issues and legislation "to ensure that the U.S.-Israel relationship is strong so that both countries can work together" to meet the challenges of "stopping Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, fighting terrorism and achieving peace".[2] It regularly meets with members of Congress and holds events where it can share its views. AIPAC has been effective in gaining support for Israel among members of Congress and White House administrations.
The New York Times described AIPAC on July 6, 1987 as "a major force in shaping United States policy in the Middle East."
