#1 Ah
That must be where I gout the idea McRaven was close to the Mao suit wearing hag.

#2 His presence on the ticket would neutralize many of the unfavorable perceptions surrounding the former first lady and Secretary of State.

Men like the Hildebeest do not partner with men like the Admiral.

#3 Burg janitors appear to be very busy this morning with spills. Shoppers, please mind your carts and baskets.

#4 His presence on the ticket would neutralize many of the unfavorable perceptions surrounding the former first lady and Secretary of State.

No, it would not. She would listen to him even less than the current president listens to Joe Biden... though she would parade him in front of the television lights a good deal more -- it's the hot new fashion accessory, donchaknow.

#5 I suspect McRaven would rather cell ceggies and condoms in a Dupont Circle gaye bar than work for the Beest.

#6 4 His presence on the ticket would neutralize many of the unfavorable perceptions surrounding the former first lady and Secretary of State.

More likely it would make people think less of McRaven.

#7 His presence on the ticket would neutralize many of the unfavorable perceptions surrounding the former first lady and Secretary of State.

You mean like Messrs. Petreaus, Gates and Hagel did for the current occupant of the White House?

#8 "She was a terrific colleague and a highly valued one--not least for her sense of humor,"

Heh
Ha ha ha
Whooo hoo who ha ha.

I got one: 'She is a motivating leader, known to command a room with her laughter and off-the-cuff comments.'

American conservatives might think of advancing a military leader for president.

Yeah, whatever happened to Allen West? Oh yeah.

Any rate, seems Bernie Quigley, if that is his real name, is making mud pies out of Reed's night soil.

#9 His presence on the ticket would neutralize many of the unfavorable perceptions surrounding the former first lady and Secretary of State.

I dunno. A McRaven/Clinton ticket wouldn't be the worst thing. But I doubt Hillary would be happy in the VP slot.

#11  after reading former Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates’ Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War.

...The same SECDEF Gates who relates in the same book how badly let down he was by his boss' antics but never seemed to find the courage to stand up and tell the nation how bad it was until AFTER he retired?

That Robert M. Gates?

Thanks, but no.
