You're Kidding, Right?


Oh, great... Now we have Gen. Franks saying the same stupid, STUPID thing. These guys must be on drugs.
07 Jul 2003 13:45 BST - U.S. says troop levels sufficient in Iraq - WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Retiring U.S. General Tommy Franks says U.S. troop levels are sufficient in Iraq and he has repeated a taunt made by President George W. Bush for Iraqi militants attacking U.S. forces to "bring them on".
You really can't reach the rank of General in the U.S. military without a good set of brains (not true, obviously, for US President); so I can't understand why General Tommy would possibly want to compound the situation by repeating what turned out to be a very harmful (i.e. killed/wounded G.I.'s) statement by Bush. I think I'm finally starting to lose my grip on reality.
