If you missed the news... General H. Norman Schwarzkopf, who commanded the U.S. led international coalition to drove Saddam Hussein's forces out of Kuwait in 1991, has died. For those veterans of our battles today, who may have been watching Oscar the Grouch and Big Bird while this was going on (or maybe your Dad...or Mom {my bad} was here), this was the man in action. He laid it out for us and if you have ever worked in a TOC, JOC, or EOC; then you know what the term "briefing slide" means now and where it comes from. He is something to watch... "If it had been our intention to overrun the country, we could have done it unopposed." This is perhaps the textbook way to do a briefing for the media. He controlled the room, gave definitive answers, and ensured that he could tell them everything he could and most important to me, he let the fifth column leftists in the Lamestream Media who deep down wanted to publicly hate this war (because all wars are started by the us of course) exactly what their place was. Please take note of each of the whiners that he steps up to ensure that he settles their hash. I am not sure that there hasn't been a briefing given this way since. Thank you General for your service and God Speed to you and prayers to your family and loved ones.
