Hussein has as much business directing a war as I do designing dresses for Saks Fifth Avenue.  Bill T.

That struck a chord, Bill...  I can see it now...  Almost nothing there except for strategically placed pockets for body armor, and a flap for concealment.  That would be one fashion show I'd like to see.LOL ;D :o ;D :o

Even at a ball game, when someone talks during the anthem or doesn’t take off his hat, it pisses me off. I’m not one to be quiet about it, either.”  Chris Kyle

Perhaps it's me, but this "War On Terror" sure seems to be eating up high ranking Generals.

Don't forget Gen Tommy Franks, I actually think he saw the writing on the wall, took Baghdad as was ordered, and split.

Probably one of the smarter moves...

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

You are correct. I completely forgot about him. I believe Sanchez was the one who replaced him.   Bill T.
