Bravo General Powell.

I knew a good general would never cut and run.

Nothing is bigger than this endorsement.

85% of the other side respects him, and most(80% IMHO) of our side respects him.

(there are always debbie downers/ sad sams on each side and whiners who never look at the big picture and the prize)
