Jimmy Carter, you're the father of the Islamic Nazi movement. You threw the Shah under the bus, welcomed the Ayatollah home, and then lacked the spine to confront the terrorists when they took our embassy and our people hostage. You're the runner-in-chief.
Bill Clinton, you played ring around the Lewinsky while the terrorists were at war with us. You got us into a fight with them in Somalia, and then you ran from it. Your weak-willed responses to the U.S.S. Cole and the first Trade Center Bombing and our Embassy bombings emboldened the killers Each time you failed to respond adequately they grew bolder, until 9/11.
John Kerry, dishonesty is your most prominent attribute. You lied about American Soldiers in Vietnam. Your military service, like your life, is more fiction than fact. You've accused our soldiers of terrorizing women and children in Iraq . You called Iraq the wrong war, wrong place, wrong time, the same words you used to describe Vietnam. You're a fake. You want to run from Iraq and abandon the Iraqis to murderers just as you did the Vietnamese. Iraq, like Vietnam is another war that you were for, before you were against it.
John Murtha, you said our military was broken. You said we can't win militarily in Iraq. You accused United States Marines of cold-blooded murder without proof and said we should redeploy to Okinawa. Okinawa, John? And the Democrats call you their military expert. Are you sure you didn't suffer a traumatic brain injury while you were off building your war hero resume? You're a sad, pitiable, corrupt and washed-up politician. You're not a Marine, sir. You wouldn't amount to a good pimple on a real Marine's butt. You're a phony and a disgrace. Run away John.
Dick Durbin, you accused our soldiers at Guantanamo of being Nazis, tenders of Soviet style gulags and as bad as the regime of Pol Pot, who murdered two million of his own people after your party abandoned South East Asia to the Communists. Now you want to abandon the Iraqis to the same fate. History was not a good teacher for you, was it? Lord help us!! See Dick run.
Ted Kennedy, for days on end you held poster-sized pictures from Abu Grhaib in front of any available television camera. Al Jazeera quoted you saying that Iraqi's torture chambers were open under new management. Did you see the news this week, Teddy? The Islamic Nazis demonstrate real torture for you again. If you truly supported our troops, you'd show the world poster-sized pictures of that atrocity and demand the annihilation of it. Your legislation stripping support from the South Vietnamese led to a communist victory there. You're a bloated drunken fool bent on repeating the same historical blunder that turned freedom-seeking people over to homicidal, genocidal maniacs To paraphrase John Murtha, all while sitting on your wide, gin-soaked rear-end in Washington.
Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Carl Levine, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Russ Feingold, Hillary Clinton, Pat Leahy, Chuck Schumer, et al ad nauseam. Every time you stand in front of television cameras and broadcast to the Islamic Nazis that we went to war because our President lied, that the war is wrong and our soldiers are torturers, that we should leave Iraq, you give the Islamic butchers - the same ones that tortured and mutilated American soldiers - cause to think that we'll run away again, and all they have to do is hang on a little longer.
American news media, the New York Times particularly: Each time you publish stories about national defense secrets and our intelligence gathering methods, you become one united, with the sub-human pieces of camel dung that torture and mutilate the bodies of American soldiers. You can't strike up the courage to publish cartoons, but you can help Al Qaeda destroy my country. Actually, you are more dangerous to us than Al Qaeda is. Think about that each time you face Mecca to admire your Pulitzer.
You are America's "AXIS OF IDIOTS." Your collective stupidity will destroy us. Self-serving politics and terrorist abetting news scoops are more important to you than our national security or the lives of innocent civilians and soldiers. It bothers you that defending ourselves gets in the way of your elitist sport of politics and your ignorant editorializing. There is as much blood on your hands as is on the hands of murdering terrorists. Don't ever doubt that. Your frolics will only serve to extend this war as they extended Vietnam. If you want our soldiers home, as you claim, knock off the crap and try supporting your country ahead of supporting your silly political aims and aiding our enemies. Yes, I'm questioning your patriotism. Your loyalty ends with self. I'm also questioning why you're stealing air that decent Americans could be breathing. You don't deserve the protection of our men and women in uniform. You need to run away from this war, this country. Leave the war to the people who have the will to see it through and the country to people who are willing to defend it.
No, Mr. President, you don't get off the hook, either. Our country has two enemies: Those who want to destroy us from the outside and those who attempt it from within. Your soldiers are dealing with the outside force. It's your obligation to support them by confronting the AXIS OF IDIOTS. America must hear it from you that these self-centered people are harming our country, abetting the enemy and endangering our safety. Well-up a little anger, please, and channel it toward the appropriate target. You must prosecute those who leak national security secrets to the media. You must prosecute those in the media who knowingly publish those secrets. Our soldiers need you to confront the enemy that they cannot. They need you to do it, now!

Two Star?
What difference does it make whether he's a retired Command Sergeant Major or a retired Major General? Either position is an impressive accomplishment. Besides which, whatever his rank, the man's absolutely right.

P.S. Got a link to the article?
Hey Mom, the article was sent to me via E-mail, from a good friend, (also a super Military Mom as doting and patriotic as yourself), in Texas. I checked as far as i could with Snopes re: the validity and could find no mention! Thank your Son for his service to this nation Mom! I see that someone has Googled the article for me--Thanks Machiavellean! Almost ran out of ink just writing your name-----

Seems like the Sgt Major is the only one who stands up to muster. Everyones else seems to fall short.I notice he ignores the fact that the REPUBLICANS screwed up royally in this boondoggle, so much so that the ones he is pointing a finger at are in a position to do things that he finds distasteful. Had the Republican Congress done its job properly and the Administration, the NY times and Democrats would have been a non-issue.
He also seems to ignore the point that many "leaked secrets" are done AT THE BEHEST of the administration for political purposes. Principled as he may be, he wouldn't last five minutes in the cesspool that constitutes our modern political arena.
I find it disturbing that he attacked Murtha, who even the Republican spin machine backed off from as his service record was impecable and they would have looked like idiots in attacking him. Be careful Sgt Major, that you don't squerer yourself on your own rapier...

Ooops. Sorry, scottie.
Back to the poop deck with you...
On the sleeve of a Command Sergeant Major you will see one star surrounded by oak leafs.
On the sleeve of The Command Sergeant Major of the Army you will see 2 stars.
CSM Pendry was not a Command Sergeant Major of the Army.
Oops. Sorry, LRS51st. Back to your hole you go.
Had a feeling I was confusing things.... long after the post.... but... the SMG rank ALSO has 2 stars (I think then it must be the NON-CSM...) but there IS an E-9 rank that just has 2 stars between the chevrons...
Sorry, got out, promptly forgot... didn't matter... just called all 9's SGM.
Typical..support the retired military guy that argrees with the repubs, but all of the retired general officers that have come out against??????? disregard them right. Lemmings.

Neocons....always willing to fight to the last drop of someone else's blood.
Premature and public discussion of the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq reinforces enemy propaganda that the United States will abandon its allies in Iraq, much as we are perceived to have done in Vietnam, Lebanon and Somalia," Edelman wrote. His tough language in a letter obtained Thursday was surprising in part because it came in correspondence with a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, which has oversight of the Pentagon.
It seems that there is plenty of blame to go around.
Im not all that experianced in Politics but I have gotten the impression that serving the people means serving the special interest types and average Americans are looked down on for having a normal opinion. It seems people want to hate others for not agreeing. Im a Church going conservative and see people that don't agree give me a hard time. Im not open minded enough, no one thinks like that, im judging are only a few. Seems to me people were not like that a few years ago. Guess as I keep my feet on the strait and narrow, the world is changing around me. I pray for peace in the world and victory against our enemies. Thought the posting had some good points. Others I can't say because I don't know. If accurate in all details I agree with it.
