Rob Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 In an recent interview, General Norman Schwarzkopf was asked if he thought there was room for forgiveness toward the people who have harbored and abetted the terrorists who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks on America. His answer was classic Schwarzkopf. The General said, "I believe that forgiving them is God's function.... OUR job is to arrange the meeting."

vanscottbuilders Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 General Schwartzkopf never had any high political yearnings that I know of.Too Bad!!We could really use this guy today. Terrorism, illegal immigration and entitlementscould all become things of the past. And the military could be the very best in the world,such that nobody would mess with us.Interesting.Maybe we should get together and go ask him about taking the job of President.

The terrorists are just pussies that hide in the shadows throwing the equivalent of small rocks at us. If the 9/11 masterminds came from a clear and well defined country, it would no longer be there. The problem is they hide among and are hidden by multiple countries that are all shady to begin with and have unstable governments that are based on a religion with questionable teachings. Its sorta like asking the cops to find the punk who threw a rock through your window, it just ain't gonna happen.Our military is very strong because of a big budget and lots of great engineering. No one government or country is going to mess with us. Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one government or country is going to mess with us.I lost a son in Iraq almost 3 years ago, dont think I will ever get over it, dont care too much for current government and red tape, we need to keep military people leading our country and give military all budget they need and TAKE CARE OF OUR VETERANS!

RowdyRebel Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 General Schwartzkopf never had any high political yearnings that I know of....and that's EXACTLY the kind of person we need. The current administration shows us what we get when we elect an ambitious feller who dreams of holding the most powerful office in the world. The previous admin wasn't much better...but at least he (and his wife) RESPECTED the office....no getting off AF1 in tank tops, cut-off shorts, and sneakers.We need to get back to electing the best person for the job....not the one who wants it the most.

theakerstwo Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 If we had no politicians we would not need Norman.If we had no politicians we would not need any laws. If we had no poloticians we would not need to work but one day a week. Just think what we could do the rest of the week. Well you guys know what iam saying.I dont trust all of the politians or maybe any of them. Quote glenn akers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
