WASHINGTON (AP) - A group of 26 retired U.S. diplomats and military officers said Wednesday that President Bush should be voted out of office in November for damaging U.S. national security interests and America's standing in the international community.

``Today we see that structure crumbling under an administration blinded by ideology and a callous indifference to the world around it,'' said Phyllis Oakley, former assistant secretary of state for intelligence and research. ``Never before have so many of us felt the need for a major change in the direction of our foreign policy.''

Retired Gen. Merrill A. ``Tony'' McPeak, former Air Force chief of staff, said the Bush administration anticipated a rosy reception after a military victory in Iraq but ``we were totally unprepared for the post-combat occupation. So we see here unfolding before us a total disaster.''.........

They finally gave their report -- it is devastating. Impeachment is too good for the asshole!

I just googled the news for his story -- so far it's only breaking in Canada and the UK. Any word from the American press?
