Paul Ryan "We don’t think the generals are giving us their true advice."

[Eastoff]

We don’t think the generals are giving us their true advice. We don’t think the generals believe that their budget is really the right budget. I believe that the president’s budget by virtue of the fact that when he released his budget number of about $500 billion, the number was announced at the same time they announced the beginning of their strategy...

It's okay though, he was clumsy in addressing the nation.

“I really misspoke,” Ryan said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “I didn’t mean to make that kind of an impression. So, I was clumsy in how I was describing the point I was trying to make.” [...]
“What I was attempting to say is, President Obama put out his budget number for the Pentagon first, $500 billion cut, and then they began the strategy review to conform the budget to meet that number,” Ryan said. “We think it should have been the other way around.”

Bush always said that he did what the generals wanted. So he wasn't running the war. But now Republicans say the generals are liars. No wonder we lost the war.

So ... what's the scandal here?

The Republican brain trust on fake budgets whined that a bunch of generals are liars because they didn't fall for his BS. You're right, nothing unusual here.

Oh, that's golden. Can you make one of Bush jumping up and down like a chimp?

 

[jlprk]

And can you put Bush's head on it?

Thanks! This will be great!
