I have already been criticized about my guess that he will say Obama
wants to get out before the job was done. (disagreeing with the
timetable was what I said)
Fortunately that guess will be tested on Sunday I imagine so we will
know pretty quickly


Sorry that was a BP thing. He doesn't think that is the way McC is
going.
Sorry, no idea what you're talking about.... something is happening on
Sunday re the general?


The Sunday morning talk shows. I am sure he will be on a couple of
them.

And we care because? He's a disgraced ex-officer who made a fool of
himself.
The only thing he did that was positive and appropriate was tender his
resignation.


Disgraced is a stretch. He said some inappropriate things about his
boss but I imagine half the country agrees with him. There are plenty
of people who are not happy with the way the war is going and think we
should be ramping up, not winding down. Bob P seems to be one of them
and calls me a coward because I want to see our kids come home alive.


Come on! He got fired (basically). He was a commanding general, now he's
a civilian. The President of the United States told him not to let the
door hit him in the butt on the way out. He went out the back gate. Even
McCain said he screwed up big time and it was inappropriate.

No idea who Bob P is. Not sure what that has to do with a fired army
officer.


No big. He will now make more money on a single interview than you have
for decades, total.

If he plays it right, he might end up in 2012 saying to Obama, don't let
the door hit you too hard on the way out ass hole.
