General discontent...

Currently, there are about 4,700 living members of the retired General Officer corps, most of whom left active duty between Operation Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Last week, .13 (that's point one three) percent (or 13 ten-thousandths) of them decided to help write the Democrats' '06 midterm-election playbook. Six retired officers (seven if we're to include former Demo presidential hopeful Wesley Clark) issued public indictments of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's (read: the Bush administration's) conduct of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

It is worth noting, because the Leftmedia hasn't, that the six complainants are all alumni of Clinton's Pentagon Cabal. Nor has the Leftmedia mentioned the support Secretary Rumsfeld has received from more consequential retired generals such as former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Richard Myers or former OEF and OIF commander Tommy Franks.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with criticism of an American president and his administration; as readers of this column well know The Patriot has written extensively about President Bush's domestic policy failures. But the disingenuous, politically-motivated accusations by Democrat Party leaders like Kennedy, Reid, Durbin, Kerry, Pelosi and their ilk are something else entirely. As we have noted before, their use of the gravely serious matter of the Iraq War for partisan political gain is nothing short of—and we don't toss this term out lightly—treason.

Likewise, there is nothing wrong with former military officers declaring their intent to run for public office or their support for a political party. At least retired Marine colonel, Rep. John Murtha, had the integrity to do that. But the six officers in question have made no such declaration—insisting that their attack on the Bush administration is non-partisan. In this respect, they are either duplicitous or dupes—and one should fairly conclude that they are not the latter.

When retired general officers are recruited by the Democratic party
leaders to join in a chorus of dissention in time of war, the consequences are the same: Deadly. Their actions embolden our enemy and endanger our troops on the ground.

Jay Leno: According to the latest statistics there are now eleven million illegal immigrants in

the United States. Here's the part that surprised me, over half of them are on the Yankee

pitching staff. ... President Bush [was] down in Mexico [last week]. He stepped off Air Force

One, looked around and said, "Wow, you've got a big problem with Mexican immigrants down

here too!" ... While President Bush was down there he spoke about the immigration problem. To

give you an idea how out of hand our immigration policy is there were 800 more people on the

plane coming home than when he flew over there. ... In France, rioters looted stores. Actually to

be politically correct you cannot call them looters anymore. You now have to call them

"undocumented shoppers." ... Gas prices continue to go up—$3.10 a gallon today. In fact, you

know those 500,000 people who were marching in downtown L.A.? Turns out they weren't

protesting, they were commuting! Just trying to get to work. ... The cover story of this week's

Time magazine is about global warming. It's pretty frightening story. They say if current

warming trends continue, by the year 2015, Hillary Clinton may actually thaw out. ... [Time

says] global warming is 33% worse than we thought. Which means that Al Gore is one third

more annoying than we thought. ... Al Gore turned 58-years-old over the weekend. His party

was so boring that everyone left before they sang him Happy Birthday.
