If the president went to a prayer breakfast in a suit would he have to " spout the party line."

What the President says IS the party line... his personal opinion IS de facto administration policy

The general made these statements at engagements he was inviteded to as a general, becuase he was a general... that equals official capacity in my book.

If he is taking that type of view into the office and uses it in his command capacity, imparting it on his troops... we will not win this war... the operations that his command is engadged in are central to the war on terrorism, and if he has such a narrow view of the conflict and the enemy... we will not win this war... and he will be too blind to see it coming.

This idiot blonde uncaring right wing libertarian is in agreement with the self-professed stupid low-life liberal lefty. I won't state my relationship to the US Government on this one, but if I were to make a policy statement like that when acting in my official capacity, I'd likely get myself into a heap of trouble.

His is not to reason why. His is but to do or die. There is right and wrong, and the point should be that. The point should not be that we're the Judeo-Christians out to get satan.

Now, I'll disagree about understanding them (frankly, I hope to never understand why people would want to do something like the 9/11 attacks, since understanding is the first step to condining it). I'll also disagree about the Jonestown/Christianity link (Jones readily professed that the religion was communism).

But this general had no business making comments like that. None. He makes strategy, not policy. And he stated a policy...

If I were to make, in my official capacity (I have one), a statement about the shuttle program, I would very possibly be canned. I would certainly be given a very stern talking to. That is what I would expect to happen to him, since he made a very incautious statement in his official capacity

You are wrong. lets look at what Bill posted

As long as we choose not to understand people who claim to be our foes, they will remain our foes. They might remain our foes if we do understand them, but it's a dead certainty if we don't.

I'm sure with his back round he knows just a bit more than the avg dem. You can't bargan with a men like arafat, you kill them.

Hmm, it is all in what they believe...I need to understand.

I would like to hear what the women have to say about this understanding of male dominance.....

Once we give someone the respect to try to understand them, it's much easier not to group them all together and assume "they" are all alike.

IMHO, there are times for male dominance. It is rare, but they include:
~Bringing in all the groceries from the car.
~Cleaning the litter box.
~Packing my parachute, carrying my gear to the car.
~Opening my soda can after I got a manicure.
~Occasionally in bed...sometimes it's fun to be "ravished".

Other than that, there is no room for "dominance". And if a man (or woman) for that matter dares raise a hand to me for any reason, they shall reap more than what they have sown...I never hit first, but I always hit back.

Exactly. This never was about religion for us. Let's not make so.

As for WMD BS. I can't believe anyone bought it. I am glad that we went after SH but it should have been for crimes against humanity. We went from having the world at our back to having the world being suspicious of our whims.

You did a good job of pointing out men's jobs. How about a list for the women. I'll start it: Dishes, laundry......

Ah, yes, my lemme-give-you-a-hug-and-you'll-forget-all-your-dominance-issues ploy!. Someday, Juan, you will be where I am and I'll give you one so you can decide for yourself.

who am I doing? Um, well, honestly, no-one right now. Been kinda slow in that department for a while, truth be told. Oh well...that will happen someday.

If you mean how am I doing, better now that I have some answers and we're working on a game plan. Still and all, though, I wish I weren't ill...but that too will pass, and I'll soon be back to normal. Whatever normal is.

BTW, how do you like my attempt at hijacking? I'm trying to do it without using the word "BOOBIES" but I'm not sure it's being altogether successful, especially since I have to run out to the store soon...

Why? Because if he's on his own time, then he need not be acting like he is on official time. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and flies like a duck, it's a duck.

If he sounds like he's making an official pronouncement, and he's dressed like he's making an official pronouncement, then he probably is.

General Edwin Walker got relieved of duty for passing out John Birch Society literature in the Army. He had no business doing it.

Same here. If it's on his own time, then put on the suit from Men's Wearhouse and say what you think without giving the image of official statements.

I think her husband did that more than anyone!

I think that Bill Clinton has the lying to congress thing covered.

He said all of that at a church on his own time. I still disagree. Next you'll be saying he can't go to church in his uniform. When i was in the army we had to go in our dress greens. It's much to do about nothing! More evidence of the slant of the press

[lawrocket 3]

The point is, he should not be representing himself as stating the policy of the US government. He's free to say what he wants off hours, as a civilian in civvies.

But he shouldn't be saying things that people can construe as the official policy of the US Government to church groups when he's in full uniform. Edited to add: the uniform gives it an aura of officiality.
