Pic Of The Moment: Remember When The GOP Demanded That We "Listen To The Generals?"

[EarlG]

Dozens of retired generals, admirals back Iran deal

Read: An open letter from retired generals and admirals on the Iran nuclear deal

[brucefan]

1. Yea,but

That was when we had a Republican commander in chief.A Democrat,not so much

[ChairmanAgnostic]

22. Well, DUH! That was then and this is now.

Can't you tell the difference?

[kairos12]

2. GOP means listen to them Generally. Void when agenda

is not the same

[Fred Sanders]

15. Amnesia and hypocrisy make for a toxic brew that the GOP drinks from freely.

[Still In Wisconsin]

3. They don't really give a shit what any general says.

They just want war, war, war, war, war. It makes them rich and keeps the populace's minds off of their economic situation,

[Fred Sanders]

4. How can the End Times happen if Israel is not destroyed? The Fundies and their allies WANT an Iranian nuclear bomb!

[Enthusiast]

11. At least some Republican fundies actually believe this.

13. Can you imagine one of these fuck-ups or fuck-up pretenders as commander of the military?

[Enthusiast]

16. I understand there are a number of these fuck ups in the Air Force High Command.

Scary thought.

[Fred Sanders]

17. Fuck. Maybe we are all fucked.

[Still In Wisconsin]

20. Fucking well fucked. n/t

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

21. Reminds me of a SuperTramp song:

Fuck, yeah, we're bloody well fucked. We're bloody well fucked today...
FUCK - we're bloody well fucked, we're bloody well fucked today!!!

Maybe it's time to get away....

[Maynar]

25. Fuck you, you fucking fuck.

I saw that on a t-shirt somewhere. Don't remember where.

I did get a good chuckle out if it, however.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

28. This is a classic - everything you wanted to know about the word FUCK

This audio sketch about the proper usage of the word "fuck" is often falsely attributed to Monty Python.
It is a historical recording by the "Voice of Disneyland", Jack Wagner.

[MADem]

5. I know six guys on that list, and I like most of 'em!!

More to the point, I agree with all of them...!

[tclambert]

6. They refused to listen to General Eric Shinseki, the Army Chief of Staff

when he said the occupation of Iraq would require far more soldiers than Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz said it would. Where was "listening to the generals" then?

[louis-t]

7. And they fired him, and when his successors said

"You can't win this war militarily" they fired them until they found Petraeus who told them what they wanted to hear.

[matt819]

8. Not those generals and admirals

Only the generals and admirals who agree with us. You know, the dominionists and the extreme RW Air Force guys.

And coast guard? Really? They have admirals?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

9. Wow! General Joe Hoar is on the list....

He's the guy who took over for "Stormin' Norman".

[Cha]

10. Mahalo Generals, Admirals, and EarlG.. Thanks President Obama and SOS Kerry!

[Enthusiast]

12. Must kick and recommend this!

23. All of those generals' opinions are outweighed

by the opinion of Oliver North, the disgraced former Colonel.

[KoKo]

24. Recommend!

[bluestateguy]

26. Looking for Colin Powell's name on that list

Maybe you can help me find it, because I didn't see it.

[stuffmatters]

27. You'd think Powell'd want to back up his Iraq mea culpas with an actual stand for Mideast truth

But then more thought on it, I guess he's making too much $ in his high rolling consulting firm partnered with the two other Bush War Diplohawks - Condie Rice & Steve Hadley. Doesn't want to unbutter his side of the bread.

[underpants]

29. They are such losers they meant the WASHINGTON Generals

[DirkGently]

30. Be interesting to see which generals

... the Republicans want us to rely on work for (or are about to work for) defense contractors.

[d_legendary1]

31. The Republican headline would be

3 dozen traitors sign off on Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon. Then followed by the usual diatribe:
