Does anyone remember Bush purging moderates/pragmatsts

[SilasSoule]

and anyone (perhaps including some conservatives)who may have so much as been simply skeptical of our success at a long-term occupation of IRAQ? I thought I remember seeing several threads where miliary generals and even civilians in defense department policy boards who did not paint the rosy picture this fraudministration was looking for were summarily outed, fired, resigned or otherwise just left or retired.

If anyone has saved any links regarding this it would really appreciate them.

1. General Shinseki is on that list. But, you can't be purged if you ain't...

...there in the first place.

2. I have no links

But I remember it was about the time Fort Leavenworth got a new commanding officer and Rumsfeld came to Leavenworth. If you can find that event, it will give you an approximate date. Or try scrolling back through the top ten conservative idiots starting about two months ago. I cannot remember for sure if that made the list.
