More from General Batiste, Retired
Today's Washington Post editorial page has a good piece by Gen. Batiste regarding the absolute necessity of dumping Rumsfeld. Read it.
It's followed in the paper by an op ed by Melvin Laird (Nixon's Secy of defense) and Robert Pursley (retired AF general) that argues the generals shouldn't speak up because "The enemy does not understand or appreciate reasoned public debate. It is perceived as a sign of weakness and a lack of resolve."
Gee, it's a good thing our goal isn't to spread democracy to other countries, otherwise they might think we don't mean it when we call for the silencing of debate in the US.
