Diplomats, Military Commanders Commit to Ousting Bush

WASHINGTON — 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.

The group, which calls itself Diplomats and Military Commanders for Change (search), does not explicitly endorse Democrat John Kerry for president in its campaign, which will start officially Wednesday at a Washington news conference.

The Bush-Cheney campaign said Sunday it would have no response until the group formally issues its statement at the news conference.

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.

5. I think they felt they HAD to report it

because all the other cable news channels were. You know, it's that "Fair and Balanced" BULLSHIT. After the Diplomats have their press conference on Wednesday, I believe, THEN Faux news will spin it.

4. Following Controversy

Faux like Rush follow or create controvesy. It takes a lot of stuff to fill a 24/7 news cycle. They can always do the spin later if they feel the need to do so and I suspect they probably will do so. It's about ratings and advertising dollars for them not about journalism.
