Answer 1

GB has a proven track record of picking morons. Why should he change now?

Answer 2

you can reasonably assume one of two things. in looking at the history of this war, those generals as well as several other military and government officials who have not aliened themselves with the agenda of this administration, have been fired, replaced, and stripped of their dignity for speaking their minds honestly on this war. one can easily draw the conclusion that their is a considerable amount of intimidation available to and for those who speak their minds, ("whistle blowers") as can be seen here on yahoo by the way some in the military treat their own for speaking up and pointing out issues of enormous concern for so many Americans. so there is that kind of intimidation to consider. reason two, he is absolutely correct, nothing we do will make a difference, which brings us right back to why in the hell are we there??

Answer 3

Let's blame the Democrats for Bush's apointees, that's great tip zz.

Lt. General Lute does not believe the surge is working either.

Answer 4

Lt. General Lute sounds like a smart, honorable man.

Too bad he lacked the common sense to RUN away from this job offer.

Answer 5

Because, at this time, they do not have enough soldiers and police to take over their own security.

Answer 7

Dems approved him.
