1. The most powerful CURRENT General has -
General Electric.


Someone posted that here the other day, and I still think it's hilarious. Unfortunately, true.

3. Other than Franks
Maybe MacArthur and Patton support him (at least that's probably what the beltway boys think).

4. I noticed in a story last week that 2 of the supporting generals
Edited on Mon Apr-24-06 06:41 PM by RamboLiberal
were friggin' Air Force generals. They don't have a clue what it means to be a ground-pounder and stuck in this shit every day!

The op-ed piece was written by retired Lt. Gen. John Crosby, former deputy commanding general of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command; retired Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney, former assistant vice chief of staff of the U.S. Air Force; retired Maj. Gen. Buron Moore, U.S. Air Force, who was director of Central Command during Operation Desert Storm; and retired Maj. Gen Paul Vallely, former deputy commander of the U.S.. Army, Pacific.
