Respect the Generals

While Bush and his Republican thugs demand Americans respect one general they ignore the professional advice of The Generals. Money quote:

I’m not settled on what the best course is for the war in Iraq. The questions are very complex, and there are no obvious answers. But I am convinced that the best solution will involve taking the advice of the generals. And by that I mean men and women who have taken off their uniforms and are free to speak their minds. And yes, I’d be happy to take General Petraeus into account too, as soon as I can hear from him and not the Rovian puppet who keeps bobbing in front of the TV cameras. I’d probably be even more interested in hearing from his boss, Admiral Fallon, who has a reputation for being more of a straight-shooter and is less concerned about a future race for president.

Yes, I respect the general. But is it too much to ask that Bush and his supporters offer some respect and attention to the generals?

A little common sense goes a long way.
