Another one didn't get the memo

Joint Chiefs Nominee, Admiral Michael G. Mullen, Notes Toll on Military, Need to Plan for Iraq Drawdown

"Mullen warned that "there is no purely military solution in Iraq" ...

Asked by Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) about the U.S. prospects for "winning" in Iraq, Mullen said: "Based on the lack of political reconciliation at the government level . . . I would be concerned about whether we'd be winning or not."

Isn't it remarkable how all the Generals and Admirals when now asked to describe the situation in Iraq say the same thing that John Kerry and Jack Murtha have been saying for years?

And, Admiral Mullen said, 'We need to plan for a drawdown'? Hillary Clinton said the same thing three weeks ago and all the phony-patriots went ballistic!

But you have to hand it to Kerry and Murtha though. It highlights once again the disaster of electing the wrong people into office. Our country will pay for that for the next 50 years.

Admiral Mullen would tell you that, too - If you asked him.
