2. He's Now Free To Speak Anywhere
No sooner did CBS make this blunder, then Olbermann and NBC had him on the air...in Primetime and reaching an audience that doesn't watch Katie. He's also free to go against the goons on Faux or appear anywhere his voice and credibility is needed to discuss this ugly invasion and occupation.

I don't feel this was such a bad thing as he's seen by many in the military as a credibile, straight shooter. He's now the face of VoteVets and if you want to really help Gen. Baptiste I'd strongly suggest a donation to www.votevets.org.

18. Well, he's not the face of VoteVets, actually.
That would be Jon Stoltz and Wesley Clark... they've been making these videos a lot longer:



(I'm sure you know what Wes looks like - I hope!)

16. Be careful people, it is easy to sign the wrong petition.
Edited on Fri May-11-07 11:47 AM by Burried News
If you click on the more obvious one it takes you to a McCain site and you will be signing a "Surrender is not an option petition.

Signed. Thank you General.
