My note to Arianna Huffington regarding General Kevin Byrnes
Advertisements [?]
Dear Ms Huffington,

Yes, the hypocrisy is all too obvious. That's the problem.

I doubt that the reason General Kevin Byrnes has been relieved of command has anything to do with sex.

I urge you and your network of influential insiders to attempt to get General Kevin Byrnes to answer a few questions about his opposition to the neoconsters actions in Iraq and Iran and elsewhere in the Middle East.

I sense we are at the moment when certain senior Republican and Democratic Members of Congress need to pay Bush and Cheney a visit and demand their resignation. They must not be allowed to continue their truly 'mad' behavior in Iraq and Iran.

Peace,
UL

In response to:

Here’s all the proof you need that the lunatics have taken over the Pentagon and DoD asylums (that is, if the lunacy of their Iraq policies hadn’t already convinced you):

Four-star General Kevin Byrnes, the third most senior of the Army’s 11 four-star generals, was sacked over allegations that he had an extramarital affair. Meanwhile, Lt. General Ricardo Sanchez, the senior commander in Iraq during the Abu Ghraib torture and abuse scandal, is being considered for promotion to, yep, four-star general.

Talk about your utterly perverted priorities.

Now, it long ago became clear that the Bushies inhabit a bizarro, topsy-turvy universe -- a place where being utterly wrong about slam-dunk WMD earns you a Medal of Freedom, dismissing a “Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in U.S.” memo earns you a promotion to Secretary of State, signing off on torture makes you AG material, another 123 American soldiers being blown up is the mark of an enemy in its “last throes”, and outing an undercover CIA agent (and then lying about it) merits a vote of confidence instead of a pink slip.

Yeap, the neoconsters are creating a bizarro world of torture, death and destruction and all that distinguishes them from centuries of barbarians are their jet-set renditions and their radioactive debris.


Peace.
