Retired Officials Say Bush Must Go

I've commented before that I know no living US Military leader (generals, etc) that have spoken in favor of how the war has been run in Iraq. Now it seems some of these guys are getting more upset:

A group of 26 former senior diplomats and military officials, several appointed to key positions by Republican Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, plans to issue a joint statement this week arguing that President George W. Bush has damaged America's national security and should be defeated in November.

It is unusual for so many former high-level military officials and career diplomats to issue such an overtly political message during a presidential campaign.

a favorite way to deal with this sort of news is for the Bush Administration to say the president prefers to rely on the advice of active military leaders. Of course, these are the people under his command...
