>What surprises me is the number of generals and past leaders who strongly disagreed with Bush but who refrained from stating so publicly. Look at Ford - he made comments about disagreeing but insisted his comments not be released until after his death. Sheesh - we are now a nation of cowards.

Who was Geral Ford anyway? His claim to fame was pardoning Nixon and being lampooned for his constant falling down. He was not as bad as Jimmy Carter, but he was not a great president. His statement, based on public information...yada yada yada. What a sad statement. He just wanted to be interviewed. He gave a different opinion to another reporter just after he gave this one, so who knows. Senility maybe?
