Former Air Force Chief of Staff Tony McPeak spoke out about the really, really bad job that President McHappyCrack has done in the world of diplomacy. Now it's saying something when a retired Air Force Four-Star General has something to say about the McHappyCrack foreign policy and it's not so good. Hmmmm, I think I might have mentioned that things like this might happen...even though he's retired, he's probably pretty still got a few senior officers who aren't retired yet who think pretty highly of him, and value what he has to say.

McPeak served four years on the Joint Chiefs of Staff advising Bush’s father and then President Clinton after flying 269 Vietnam combat missions and participating in the Thunderbirds, the elite aerobatic team. He is also a graduate of Grants Pass High School.

Despite his military career, McPeak questions Bush’s priorities as the president confronts terrorism, North Korea and Saddam Hussein. It makes him worry about a return to federal budget deficits and about declining goodwill toward the United States since Sept. 11, 2001.

“I pray that America will last another thousand years, and during all of that time we’re a pre-eminent power,” says McPeak. “To do that, you have to understand the world in a more sophisticated way. You make your friends many and your enemies few.” (emphasis added)

Obviously General McPeak gets it.

Obviously President 1st Lieutenant McHappyCrack doesn't.
