Eight hundred. Jeez I don't understand how it could be so... ____________________________ BethinAk, That was my first thought, how in the world could they fit 800 dogs in one mobile home or for that matter, any home? I am happy the dogs are rescued. I feel kind of sorry for the poor old souls that were trying to help the dogs or so they thought. I hope they get some help as well as the dogs. __________________________ HJM. I sometimes check out your suggested reading of the day. I am curious about why you haven't had a comment about the sudden resignation of Commander Fallon? Why do you suppose he resigned so suddenly or do you think he could have gotten fired? Be Free.....Judy |

By the way it is Admiral Fallon. He didn't support the surge or General Petraeus. He should never have been given command of Cent.com. Good man, wrong mission. He retired much like "Eliot Spitzer" retired _________________________ HJM You are absolutely right. He is Admiral "Fox" Fallon. He has served in the military for 41 years. I understand he was an officer in Viet Nam. I agree, he was a good man, from what I have read. He was appointed to head up Cent.com so when he didn't agree with the administration he was forced to step down? He didn't do anything wrong did he? He just did not agree with attacking Iran. Eliot Spitzer broke the law. I don't think Fallon did, he just disagreed. I think it is a sad ending for a well respected military man that devoted his life to our country. I have the greatest respect for him. Be Free.....Judy |

See: General MacCarthur and President Truman, General MacClellan and President Lincoln, etc. He didn't do anything wrong did he? Yes, actually he did. We have civilian control of the military in this country. And he put himself above the president. He just did not agree with attacking Iran. Who says that we should? Eliot Spitzer broke the law. Essentially, so did Admiral Fallon, by disclosing information that he wasn't authorized to disclose, by not getting with the program, and for trying to undermine General Petraeus, the surge, etc. I don't think Fallon did, he just disagreed. He also didn't support General Petraeus, or the surge, and actively undermined, or tried to undermine, both. I think it is a sad ending for a well respected military man that devoted his life to our country. Yes, it is sad, that someone could make to his level and appear not to know how things work. Again, his appointment to head up CentCom was a huge mistake, and when it happened, it raised the eyebrows of a lot of military guys in the know. -- Handsome Jack Morrison Sidney Mamet: No longer a "brain-dead liberal". http://hotair.com/archives/2008/03/1...-dead-liberal/ Spitzer's Media Enablers: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1205...s_opinion_main A message for Melinda Shore, Shelly Couvrette, et al., from The UK's Pat Condell! http://littlegreenfootballs.com/webl...ing_Islam&only Yo!

Doesn't the Department of Defense or whoever it is that appoints an officer to a campaign want and value their input or are they just a token figurehead? I believe that Admiral Fallon took issue with what he calls Bush's plans for attack of Iran, is that what you are referring to as "the surge". We clearly have different opinions about the war. I am not arbitrarily disagreeing with you, just really trying to understand Fallon's fall from grace. I am sorry to disinterested others, to be doing it in a dog behavior group. Be Free.....Judy |

Stuff like that, yes. One thing is certain, one *never* publicly discusses what our plans may, or may not, be. That's just an invitation to be asked to "retire." Doesn't the Department of Defense or whoever it is that appoints an officer to a campaign want and value their input or are they just a token figurehead? They serve at the pleasure of the president, Judy. For over two hundred years now. Yes, input is always welcome, but once a decision has been made, the officer is expected to click his heels, say "Aye, aye, Sir," and then carry it out. I.e., follow orders. The Commander-in-Chief decides on the mission, then the military (via the Secretary of Defense, is expected to implement it. Period. I believe that Admiral Fallon took issue with what he calls Bush's plans for attack of Iran, is that what you are referring to as "the surge". First, there were no such plans for *Iran" (beyond the usual contingency plans. We probably have a contingency plan for invading Canada, too, if they were to ever, say, demand that we return Evangeline Lilly). Second, "the surge" (which started in June-2007) is the buildup of troops in *Iraq* that has been so successful. We clearly have different opinions about the war. Yes, unfortunately. I am not arbitrarily disagreeing with you, just really trying to understand Fallon's fall from grace. And I'm trying to explain it to you, to the extent that I, myself, understand it. I am sorry to disinterested others, to be doing it in a dog behavior group. Frankly, Judy, I don't think we have anything to worry about, considering some of the other topics currently being discussed. -- Handsome Jack Morrison Sidney Mamet: No longer a "brain-dead liberal". http://hotair.com/archives/2008/03/1...-dead-liberal/ Spitzer's Media Enablers: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1205...s_opinion_main A message for Melinda Shore, Shelly Couvrette, et al., from The UK's Pat Condell! http://littlegreenfootballs.com/webl...ing_Islam&only Yo!

That's just an invitation to be asked to "retire". __________________________ HJM Thank you for explaining protocol in the military and the untimely demise of Admiral Fallon. I suppose that I admire him because he and I are on the same page when it comes to "the surge" etc. I do unterstand the need for the appearance of a "united front" when it comes to our military leaders. Though I don't like it, I do understand the need for him not to be able to voice his personal opinion, since it is different from the President's. He has been accused of not being in agreement with Bush's plan to attack Iran. Someone must be reporting false information about him, or perhaps he was speaking out about unannounced plans. That would be really bad, if it were true. He wasn't guilty of insubordination, it is not as if he refused to follow a command. He just said that he didn't agree with our policy about "the surge". I know my opinion is not realistic, when it comes to the military having diverse opinions and speaking aloud about them. Unrelated to the military, but related to the concept of freedom, my sister worked for a Vet many years ago in a one horse town in Missouri. She attempted to volunteer at the local humane society, shelter, dog pound or whatever it was called, during her free time on the week ends. The Dr. she worked for told her she could not volunteer her time in assisting with a spay and neuter clinic, because it was a conflict of interest. She was forced to no longer volunteer or lose her job. Admiral Fallon must have known he was "sinking his own ship" to speak against the administration. He must feel strongly about his beliefs. Be Free, Admiral Fallon. Be Free.....Judy |
