General Newbold's words are worth highlighting: "casualness and swagger"
And Lou Dobbs has done just that on CNN. He has put up on the screen these words:

The decision to invade Iraq, General Newbold wrote (in TIME magazine), "was done with a casualness and swagger that are the special province of those who have never had to execute these missions — or bury the results."

4. Hell yes.
I love it when there are still people in this country that I can respect.

Those are poignant words of wisdom--maybe my new sig line. :loveya:

3. General Newbold took perfect aim and
lobbed a poison arrow straight into the center of Bush`s Chickenhawkville. Priceless.
