anyone else see General Russel Honore on CNN?

[riverwalker]

He was on a panel talking about Gaza, and was the sanest, most logical, reasonable person I have heard since this started. Basically he said :
This is a disaster, catastrophe and emergency. THEY HAVE TO STOP THE FIGHTING. JUST STOP. These people need water, food, medical care, the entire infrastructure, even sewage systems have been destroyed. We can get medical ships in there, and food, and start helping these people rebuild.
He didn't touch the politics of it all, and seemed disgusted no one is talking about the needs of the people.
I love him.

1. First time I heard a military man on tv care about Palestinian lives.

[riverwalker]

2. he said

let our friends the Israelis go ahead and declare victory in Gaza, then get out, and let the people rebuild their lives. He was amazing.

3. He was amazing during Katrina. Honorable man, Honore. nt

4. He really was. I still get chills when I see the clip of him yelling at the Reservists "put those

guns down, we are not here (New Orleans) for that.". Wish more in military were like that.

7. Don Lemon on CNN

he was with another US General, I sense they both thought Israels tactics...... "excessive".

[DAMANgoldberg]

11. Fun Fact...

Both Don Lemon and Gen. Russel Honore, are from the same community, Baton Rouge LA.

8. Netanyahu has promised the war hawks a long campaign

This whole thing is calamitous for Israel. Anyone is paying even cursory attention to the news is disgusted by the overkill.

[Spazito]

9. I have such high respect for General Honore...

his work in New Orleans, his way of getting to the heart of the matter in short order. He's right, the fighting must stop, the essential needs for survival - water, food, medical care, etc, are diminishing at a rapid pace in Gaza, it is untenable.

10. he might be a good person to send to the palestinians to help out

with rebuilding and additional things .
