Get your read on. I agree that it could be read the other way if you were in a hurry to smack back. So bother to read what I write. THEN feel free to blast me with profanity.

"But hey, to those who take their words as gospel, feel free to believe that they know everything and that the cause is lost. I'm sure they must be right because it's critical of the Bush administration."
The last statement was a comment about the fact that the "followers" as described by pan don't bother to look at the why's and how's of these generals making it to the airwaves or the true value of their analysis. Because it's critical of Bush there's no need to judge the source or the quality. Nowhere did I say that everyone that agrees with the generals does so because they hate Bush. Only that those who don't bother to think about the value of the comments offered by these generals are the ones who are looking for anything to justify their disdain. But, again, feel free to make shit up.
Is shit enough of an expletive?
And as far as my average citizen status and ability to judge the knowledge level of the generals, I absolutely can judge them. My stupendous analytical skills allow me to know that these generals do not have up to date information. They do not get daily intelligence briefings, they do not know the details of the current strategies that active generals controlling the action do. Please feel free to correct me if you know they have inside tracks to this classified information and why you believe these ex generals would be in the loop. Are the current commanders so in awe of them that they're calling them for advice? Are they such good friends with the current commanders and military intelligence community that they can call and get an accurate picture of what's going on? Not likely as the military approvals necessary to share that information is a clusterfuck of difficulties.
