Chairman Levin and Chairman Skelton: Your Reaction to General Pace's Homophobic Comments?
Chairman Levin: http://armed-services.senate.gov/members.htm

Chairman Skelton: http://armedservices.house.gov/list_of_members.shtml

General Pace might have expected to get away with this when John McCain and Duncan Hunter held your gavels: http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&ie=UTF-8&q=pace+general+immoral+gay&filter=0

But progressive voters throughout America should be able to expect that you'll call him up short, the next time he comes before your committees.

1. Thanks, Dave. I hadn't realized Pace said that.
Who knew my opinion of him could go lower?

2. If Even One "Wounded Warrior" at a VAMC Is Gay or Lesbian...
... General Pace discredited his/her sacrifice.

3. MSM Grabbed This Overnight

DUers, this would be akin to Pace being caught on tape saying that his "upbringing" teaches him that Muslims are heathens - it makes him equally unsuitable to lead in Iraq.

4. The first soldier wounded in the invasion of Iraq was a gay man


Former Marine Eric Alva is lobbying for repeal of the military's "broken policy" on gays. (By Lois Raimondo -- The Washington Post)

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/27/AR2007022701589.html

General Pace feels that what this Marine does in his PRIVATE life is immoral, but it was OK to send him off to an illegal war to have his leg blown off. And don't even get me started in all the innocent Iraqi civilians who have died because of this immoral war.:mad:

5. pace also said he thought it was immoral
for military members to have affairs

should the military start an inquiry and dismiss anyone found to having an affair?
