The US military is beginning to rebel against Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld.
Richard Holbrooke, former US ambassador to the UN, writes:
"First, it is clear that the retired generals -- six so far, with more sure to come -- are
speaking for their former colleagues, friends and subordinates who are still inside."
"These are career men, each with more than 30 years in service, who swore after Vietnam
that, as Colin Powell wrote in his memoirs, "when our turn came to call the shots, we would
not quietly acquiesce in half-hearted warfare for half-baked reasons." Yet, as Newbold
admits, it did happen again. In the public comments of the retired generals one can hear a
faint sense of guilt that, having been taught as young officers that the Vietnam-era
generals failed to stand up to Defense Secretary Robert McNamara and President Lyndon
Johnson, they did the same thing."

This is extremely dangerous. Bush about to start a nuclear war. The military will not
participate. What will happen when he gives orders to attack? Will they refuse? Or will they
arrest him?
Bush, who talks about creating democracies in the Arab world, is about to destroy democracy
in America.
