As far as never having attained a "star"...OK. Does this imply that anyone in the military that has not attained the level of a flag officer is of discredible character? I don't make a corelation between character, and the amount of hardware that one wears upon ones shoulders.
He needs to sell a book? Maybe. I missed that part. I'll have to go back and re-read, but I didn't see where he wrote a book. But, even if he did, does that fact erode the man's character?
Help me to see what it is that you're seeing, 'cause I'm not seeing it.

C'mon Mr. O'Rights. Surely you've been around long enough to recognize j8ear's tactics for what it is - after all they do tell me you're incredibly old
He's been boxed into a corner in a big way (chiefly because everything ratbastid said is spot on) and there's not a damn thing he can do about it, so he's gotta resort to the tactics his party has made so famous - make shit up!
Bush has spun a fantasy ideology that j8ear agrees with, but j8ear realizes, as do most of us, that this ideology is in danger of being destroyed by the fact that it's simply not working. Everything Bush has touched is crumbling around him (a fact which shouldn't have been hard to predict considering every business and every other political office he touched turned to junk as well) but after supporting him so fervently for the past two terms, people find it hard to see that perhaps this Savior President isn't so hot after all.
This forces them to deny reality, publicly, and to attack those who mention reality. That's what's happening here. Doesn't matter what evidence we come up with. We could get videotapes of Bush and Rumsfeld plotting Iraq's destruction before 9/11, but there would still be those who insist it's not true, the tapes are doctored, and the cameraman never served in vietnam and is therefore a liar.
Fortunately, the numbers of people who insist on believing everything Bush says simply because Bush says it are dwindling. You can only maintain a charade so long before people start to see through it, and that's exactly what's happening now.
