General Peter Pace is an Asshole

Because anyone who would make so preposterous and so obviously strong-armed a statement as the unmitigated bullshit below has lost grip on anything resembling integrity.

Top US general says Rumsfeld is inspired by God.

The top US general defended the leadership of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, saying it is inspired by God.

"He leads in a way that the good Lord tells him is best for our country," said Marine General Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Rumsfeld is "a man whose patriotism focus, energy, drive, is exceeded by no one else I know ... quite simply, he works harder than anybody else in our building," Pace said at a ceremony at the Southern Command (Southcom) in Miami.

Harder at what?

Despicable shills, these hypocrites.

Religious-flavored talk from military types always gives me the heebie-jeebies (well most any talk from those guys gives me the h-b's). But I'm confused: I thought the military wasn't too hapy with Rumsfeld just a few months ago. Did they "retire" all those medallioned ones so quickly?

"He leads in a way that the good Lord tells him is best for our country"

Ah! So it's all His fault!

Neither one of them should be allowed to operate so much as the department microwave.

I thought when people hear the voice of god, they were considered to be insane.

Friends, it's too much for my delicate constitution! Aaaaiiiyy!

Imperatrix, I remember that purge. Where, I wonder, did all those "disloyal"-types go?

Pacian, not that I know Thing One about these things, but this doesn't speak too highly of the Supreme Being's strategery, does it? Sheesh. You'd think He could manage something a little more just and decent and coherent and planned out, being, you know, omniscient and omnipotent and all. That Richard Dawkins might be on to something.

Tata, the cafeteria ladies banned Rummy after a mishap w/ the microwave, because, you know, Stuff Happens. It's hard work.

divajood, can't say I'm remotely comforted by the number of delusional folks running amok in the seat of power. A remote mountain top in a yak-filled land is becoming more and more attractive to me. Why, oh why, oh why, oh why, did I never do drugs? I'm thinking now that it's not too late to start.

Alicia, why do I believe that that is an actual transcript you came across?? Your investigative skills are awesome!
