Let me ask a legitimate question...

Do you think the wing commander's statement may have been influenced by
the commander knowing that W's daddy was a big shot in Washington?

Or maybe he should have committed a career ending move by telling the
truth. What would you do?

P.S.

Speaking of career ending moves, how about the Generals in Iraq 2 or 3
years ago who said "We need more troops" (a 'surge', if you will) and
got forced into early retirement for their trouble.

A few years later, W 'came up' with the brilliant idea of a 'surge'. I
wonder if W ever apologized (or re-instated) those generals who
originally brought it up...
