Now it's nine years and we still have people clamoring that if do it right this time by not firing the best suited general, we can win this. It's over, and if the general wants to lose his job with his idiotic words, let him.
    ... and thus, 3-4 years down the road, NOT be the guy who lost the war; I think you may be on to something there.

    -edit-
    Apparently, after 3 years of "General Betray-us" frivolity, Moveon.org has suddenly (as in, yesterday) scrubbed that bit of their website. People noticed: http://weaselzippers.us/2010/06/23/m...-from-website/
