So let me make sure I understand this: if the coalition finds WMDs, that's bad and proves that Bush is an idiot. If they don't find any, that's bad and proves that Bush is an idiot. I must be missing some fine logical subtlety.
James: I was with HMA-773 (MAG-46 Det C, then MAG-49, then MAG-70) the whole time I was in, 1986-1992.
Talking Dog: if Clinton had to be my President, then Bush has to be yours. Fair is fair.
I'm by no means a warblogger, but based on my tenure in the Marines I'm pretty sure that Sgt. Maj. Brown wasn't misquoted. In fact, his comments are pretty mild for a career enlisted man; if you ever had the pleasure of being addressed by my old pal Master Gunnery Sergeant J.T. Irwin, you'd understand what I mean.
As to this being a big deal, well, I suppose it depends on your perspective. Since, last time I checked, Sgt. Maj. Brown wasn't part of the NCA's chain of command, he's not making policy, and so as far as I'm concerned this is one guy shooting off his mouth. If the President was talking about destroying the heathen, I'd agree that that's a big deal.
FWIW, I use Speakeasy and have never had a problem with their service or billing. Wait, I take that back; their credit-card auto-pay service keeps forgetting about my Amex card. I blame Safari, though, since this doesn't happen when I use IE for Windows (heh).
