F: "The part I find funny is that any retired general, no matter how obscure they were when on duty...or military member for that matter that makes any sort of anti-Bush statement is introduced by the press as "one of the most respected" military leaders of all time while statements and articles by those who side with the administration are called "Bush apologists." Since most retired military leaders strongly support Bush and the war...Why do we only see articles about those who do not?"

Hmmm...

1. Only the 'most respected' ones are quoted.

2. 'General and commander-in-chief of the United States Central Command' is not respected, to you?

3. Only the ones with a story (book, article, etc.) do the press tour and get extensively quoted.

4. Where are the 'equally respected' supporters?Setting that aside, where are the 'majority supporting Bush'? Are they another "silent majority"? Or maybe the support you imagine is not strong enough for public vocalization. Powell is a good example. he's grown pretty quiet lately.
