Ex-Diplomats, Military Leaders Oppose Bush
WASHINGTON (AP) - Angered by Bush administration policies they contend endanger national security, 26 retired U.S. diplomats and military officers are urging Americans to vote President Bush out of office in November.

<snip>

Among the group are 20 ambassadors, appointed by both Democratic and Republican presidents, other former State Department officials and military leaders whose careers span three decades.

``We agreed that we had just lost confidence in the ability of the Bush administration to advocate for American interests or to provide the kind of leadership that we think is essential,'' said William C. Harrop, the first President Bush's ambassador to Israel, and earlier to four African countries. ``The group does not endorse Kerry, although it more or less goes without saying in the statement,'' Harrop said Sunday in a telephone interview.

1. The junta is so full of vile, self serving creeps they haven't got one
person among them who can fathom the idea that many, many people in public service are actually there to serve the public and the greater good. There seems to be an absolute inability for anyone in the malAdministration to understand the thousands who really do fulfill their duties with honor, pride and integrity. The junta have made many powerful enemies with their arrogance and ignorance.

They have done nothing but shit on those who serve and any level, from the ones who clean government offices to those who hold high offices. The people who actually understand civil responsibility, who truly love America and don't just mouth the platitudes while fucking over communities, populations, workers, the military, et al, for profit and profiteering have had enough.

If you love America, throw the drunken bums out and restore responsible, thoughtful governance. There are a lot of federal workers who take it seriously. They labor for lower pay under ridiculous stress and the do it because they believe in making things better for all the nation, not just a few robber barons. They are not swallowing the bs anymore.

The junta is doomed.

Americans will restore America. The criminals will be punished.
We The People will make it happen.
