General Peter Pace is now a liar? Senator: it just did not need to be said. First, it isn't true. And Second, General Pace has practically been summarily dismissed already. And third, military men are prohibited from responding to such attacks.
So Senator Reid considers it appropriate and necessary to give hope to the enemy by criticizing, using falsehood, a four star general who has practically been fired and can't respond.
I can't think of a lower form of humanity.
Almost as an aside, yesterday, Senator Reid included General Petraeus in his liar category. And General Petraeus is in the field leading the nation's military effort.
If Harry Reid lived in Abraham Lincoln's day during the War Between the States there is no doubt in my mind that he would be behind bars this morning.
I am sorry Senator Reid. Your conduct might not warrant an arrest for treason; but that is only because the other side plays by rules you could never, ever understand.

This editor strongly disagrees with John on this op-ed, though, on other ocassions, we often find agreement. John calls them "unwritten rules." I call them right wing spin talking points-- tired, worn out talking points that allow political loyalty to bad leadership and terrible military leadership and failed accountability trump true patriotism and loyalty to country. This is misguided steadfastness to misguided rules. I was very happy Pelosi took initiative, since Rice is one of the most incompetent SoSs ever. Pace IS an incompetent failure. Petraeus is so full of it, claiming the surge is doing well-- if he's going to heap the BS, he should expect to get called on it.
Like John asked, that's my opinion. rob kall
