Quck take: The Generals!

The Generals will save us!

That's the cry of some on the left and some in the general vicinity. They hide behind them and, in the process, seem to forget a great deal.

For the record, the generals wouldn't have prevented the US involvement in Vietnam and wouldn't have gotten the US out of it.

For the record, when Bully Boy says he'll listen to the generals he may be making his most accurate statement. "Listen to them." He won't abide by them and candidates for Congress who tell you they will (as some are doing) are proving that they have no concept of democracy.

In a democracy, civilians control the military, not the other way around.

If some of these 'winners' win their elections, look forward to a lot worse than the Patriot Act coming out of Congress.
