I did extensive research on him before he was 'elevated to CJCS'.<BR/><BR/>I must say, he is one impressive Marine. As the Late Col. Hackworth would say, a 'perfumed prince' - but not nearly so much as many in those levels. <BR/><BR/>That's why I'm having great difficulty believing he did this on his own accord.<BR/><BR/>However, his name is on the letter (which could be B.S.) - Rovewellian ethics tell me that...<BR/>the tip off is the razor sharp line between outright censorship an blatant propoganda.<BR/><BR/>If you can explain where that line seperates, I'll buy you a ham sammich. Your choice of bread.<BR/><BR/>I'll even use the good mustard. Or - real mayo.. ho-made if you so choose.

Why so many people cannot understand the basics of the manufacturing and marketing of this never-ending war is just beyond me.<BR/><BR/>Re: Tole.

It's a short list of rules, and at or near the top is -- "blame the victim; blame the critic; change the subject; but never EVER take responsibility (unless it happens to be something you can win with)."Jeff (no, the other one)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04030611459552848949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12796551.post-1138999309354944322006-02-03T15:41:00.000-05:002006-02-03T15:41:00.000-05:00Hi there.
