"Few of us can easily surrender our belief that society must somehow make sense. The thought that The State has lost its mind and is punishing so many innocent people is intolerable. And so the evidence has to be internally denied." : Arthur Miller

Just reward for someone who was right in the first place. I hope Powell accepts an adviser position of some kind.

This is great news for people like me a Veteran. He seems to be perfect for the job.

Rumsfeld has been wrong on EVERYTHING !
& he's a genuine war criminal...

What's the big deal ?

All them generals wanted where MORE troops so the killing would be swift & go on without a glitch... talk about improvement !

******************** GO VETS GO ! *******************

No, ashleyoh - he didn't WANT more troops in Iraq, he gave his educated opinion with regard to what would be necessary in Iraq in order to "win". Big difference.

Wait...let me get this straight.
Obama wants to pull troops out of Iraq and is against the war...but he picks someone who wanted more troops over in Iraq?
Hm.
I would have chosen McCain. Sort of ironic and a good choice. McCain does walk around with his arms around his chest because of his dedication to our country.

I would've gone with Wesley Clark, but then again I wasn't elected President.

You rock General Shinseki.

Peace
J

an enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Rummy is evil, General Shinseki seems great.

Our next president is on the right track and exceeding my expectations. Great job!

I agree he looks like a good pick especially since he was removed (fired) for speaking the truth about the military situation.

General John Abizaid also agreed with General Shinseki's estimations on how many troops would be needed in Iraq.

Shinseki was right, Rumsfeld was wrong. Looks like a good pick.

Another moderate pick for Obama's team. A good pick indeed.

Obama picked a good man, an honest man of integrity.
