For Secretary of Defense?
Maybe his worst fault was volunteering for Giuliani's campaign. [V]
Giuliani Veterans' Co-Chairman Resigns Over Muslim Remarks

A co-chairman for Rudy Giuliani's veterans' coalition in New Hampshire resigned Saturday after telling a British newspaper that Muslims need to be chased "back to their caves."
The response was swift after the GOP presidential candidate faced questions Friday night about the comments, made by John Deady during a video interview with the Guardian at a Giuliani house party in Manchester, N.H. Deady was named co-chairman of the New Hampshire Veterans for Rudy over the summer.
"Mr. Deady offered his resignation from his volunteer position in the campaign and I accepted his resignation," Giuliani New Hampshire Chairman Wayne Semprini said in a statement.
In the original Guardian interview, Deady said Giuliani is the best candidate to handle "one of the most difficult problems in current history" - "the rise of the Muslims."
He added: "We need to keep the feet to the fire and keep pressing these people until we defeat or chase them back to their caves or, in other words, get rid of them."
Later in an interview with the Talking Points Memo Web site, Deady confirmed he made the statements and said he was referring to all Muslims.
"I don't subscribe to the principle that there are good Muslims and bad Muslims," Deady said in the article. "They're all Muslims."
Giuliani's campaign was quick to contain the damage in the final days before the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses and Jan. 8 New Hampshire primary.
Similar fallout occurred recently in the Hillary Clinton camp when New Hampshire adviser Bill Shaheen warned in an article that Democratic rival Barack Obama's admissions of past drug use could provide easy fodder for the GOP if he were the nominee. Shaheen resigned after making the comments.

Whomever agrees with this man's statement gets my vote. It is intolerant of me to say so, but you can't argue against facts. 0 -
i`ve got to agree, there was a time years ago when i thought muslims were like the rest of us...peaceful people unless they were pushed..now i dont trust any muslim..my opinion now is that their religion is a violent religion!..maybe i`m wrong, but its my opinion and i`m entitled to have it, and i havnt seen or heard anything to change my opinion in the last few years. 0 -
Sounds Like:
Step 1. Tell the truth
Step 2. Resign
When did it become a felony to tell the truth.0 -
The reason the United States of America is building up a Pacific military presence is likely due to the muslims taking control of certain areas.
We've been fighting muslims in the Pacific since General Pershing was a young Lieutenant fighting them about 100 years ago.
Hence we came up with the 45acp....the 38 wasn't killing them....and whalla 1911 became the only firearm associated with a year...thanks to General ...then Lieutenant Pershing.0 -
