"This is a major break.

Four years ago this month, General Stormin Norman Schwarzkopf appeared at the Republican Convention in Philadelphia to enthusiastically endorse George W. Bush for President.

This week he declared that he would not endorse Bush for re-election."

Good for him

1. He called me four years ago to try to get me to vote for Bush

I don't know why. I've always been a Democrat. Perhaps my address is in a Republican area.

5. You should call him and ask him to vote for

Kerry. :-)

9. If I may read between the lines.....

he probably is going to .....

[Killarney]

2. it's too bad he won't just come out and say it

it would be bigger news if he came out and said "I'm not voting for Bush" or "I'm voting for Kerry." Refusing to tell Matthews isn't a big enough story to make it into the mainstream news.

4. Still 3 months to go...

Maybe he will :)

3. He ALSO uses the dreaded word *sensitive* in the same interview

6. Way to go Stormin!! We are making headway one vote at a time.

7. not only did he endorse Bush

he ran the covert ops in Florida that handed the election to Bush.

8. the general can`t stand him and his war

good thing he`s not in uniform anymore-can you say Rommel?

10. Does this mean he won't be "finding" boxloads of military ballots next

time?

11. Is this being reported anywhere else

I'm thrilled if it is but I need a better source than this if I'm gonna repeat this, and I REALLY want to repeat this.

12. You're right....

So far it's just a post on a blog. Not even by Kos, but by Al Rodgers. But, Atrios had it linked, and we know lots of the mainstream media read Atrios (he and Josh Marshall busted Trent Lott on racism)

Perhaps Stormin Norman will get asked about this and will have more to say.

13. 'Cause I heard a lot about Nancy R not endorsing Bush but that turned out

wrong. What a coup that would have been.

I'll settle for Swartz... though
