John McCain too.

Nicely put.

There are several other commenters firing away, too.

One other tool box showed up to try and make the laughable case that this was sexual harassment, but he got beat up pretty badly and retreated.

Most recently, some self righteous priss (who suspiciously claimed to have served on the USS Forrestal during Viet-Nam) posted a comment demanding that Capt. Owen Honors to be subjected to court martial and stripped of his commission, then dishonorably discharged, and lose all benefits.

But it won't take long to eviscerate a clown like him! In fact, it'll be a pleasure!

Before y'all start making too many generalizations about the kerfuffle over at HotAir, or in particular start casting aspersions on Ed Morrissey, I think you’r missing the point. We’ve got a damn good fight going on.

Tee-tee fire, but nothing we can't handle.

Hell, Ed may eventually try to re-think his position. He did update, noting: "Many of the former shipmates of Honors are rallying to his defense." You know, it's not too often that I take big issue with Ed. He just happens to be flat-out dead wrong on this one! That’s all.

I personally thought Ed was specifically wrong on one or two of his initial points in his post (the graf in this post, above) and so I said so.

Well said, General! Well said!

That was one for the ages -- 66 years ago, and it still brings a smile to our faces, and tears to our eyes.

ps. to the earlier commenter who asked (obviously in jest) if that was an "Obama" symbol on the General's hat, please do not joke about such things! That's Airborne, my friend, the 101st Airborne Division. He was the temporary commander of the entire 101st Airborne, as General Maxwell Taylor was away at the time. Temporary command had fallen to McAuliffe, as he was the artillery commander of the 101st.

According to an article in the Daily Mail the reply was not "Nuts," but a four letter expletive that was changed for propaganda purposes for domestic consumption[citation needed]. But that was not the case, according to Vincent Vicari, McAuliffe's personal aide, who was there at the time. As quoted by Richard Pyle of the Associated Press Dec. 12, 2004, Vicari said, "General Mac was the only general I ever knew who did not use profane language. 'Nuts' was part of his normal vocabulary."

According to various accounts from those present, when McAuliffe was told of the German demand for surrender he said "nuts". At a loss for an official reply, Lt. Col. Harry Kinnard suggested that his first remark summed up the situation well, which was agreed to by the others. The official reply: "To the German Commander, NUTS!, The American Commander" was typed and delivered by Colonel Joseph Harper, commanding the 327th Glider Infantry, and his S-3, Major Alvin Jones, to the German delegation. Harper offered an explanation of the meaning of the word to the Germans, telling them that in "plain English" it meant "Go to hell."[1]

One reason she is doing this is because, as you will recall, she initially insisted that the Tea Party participants were all nothing but "astroturf."

That made her look completely foolish.

So this time she wants an investigation right out of the box to find out who these people could possibly be.

Remember . . . we are dealing with a person with an extremely limited capacity for understand anything other than what was fed to her at the last briefing.

And while they are in Iran, perhaps they could do a story on who the potential backers of the GZM might be . . . the ones the developers may be considering putting the touch on to fund this!

ABC is reporting: "Islamic Center Backers Won't Rule Out Taking Funds from Saudi Arabia, Iran"

From the story:
. . .
"Pressed on whether the developers were willilng rule out accepting donations from the governments of Saudi Arabia or Iran, he repeated, 'I can't comment on that.'"

Did Obama and Bloomberg BOTH get pwned by the developers? Could this possibly become a national security matter?

Sure smells funny to me!

So, Gen'l Gates was truly the dishonorable one, and at arguably one of the most crucial moments in our history. Moreover it was not the last time he tried (and failed) to undermine Washington. Now, I won't attempt to argue away Gates' accomplishment at Saratoga, but your pathetic attempt to try to diminish the honor or the courage of Nathaniel Greene, based on some idle historical speculation, is disgraceful.

Incidentally, after Saratoga he again tried and failed to undermine Washington. Once the war turned south, he was the failed commander at the disastrous Battle of Camden (SC) during which, Horatio Gates personally fled the field, thoroughly dishonoring himself, and causing the end of his career as a field commander. Washington gave his command to Nathanael Greene.
