Ten senior military officials released the following statement in response to the Vice President’s attacks on John Kerry on Thursday: “We are deeply disappointed by the tone and tenor of President Bush and Vice President Cheney’s personal attacks on John Kerry, a decorated combat veteran who served his country with courage and honor. John Kerry is talking about his plan to address the most pressing issues facing our nation – jobs, the economy, health care, the war on terror, the war in Iraq. George Bush and Dick Cheney have chosen take their campaign to the gutter. We call on President Bush and Vice President Cheney to stop the irresponsible personal attacks and tell us where they want to take the country. Tell us how they plan to win the peace in Iraq. Tell us how they plan to get us back on track with the war on terror. Tell us where they plan to lead the country. The American people and our troops deserve better.” Signed by:

Admiral William J. Crowe (United States Navy, Retired)
Admiral Stansfield Turner (United States Navy, Retired)
General Wesley K. Clark (United States Army, Retired)
General Merrill “Tony” A. McPeak (United States Air Force, Retired)

2. Agreed, but...

...it doesn't seem like they have a plan for how to solve these problems. At least not one we would like.

6. Will the "liberal media" pick up on this

and cover it as lead story?

Fox and CNN will probably ignore it.

The NY Times and Washington Post will probably bury it on page 14, assuming they cover it at all.

Reality seems to be what the media says it is. Everything else is just background noise that no one notices.
