Sulla.

I support having the army move into South Carolina and ending that menace once and for all.

There is talk that the GOP is wanting general Betray Us to run in 2012.

some perspective: we see this kind of stuff in Ottawa fairly regularly and I suspect Westminister as well. watch "Question Period" (the Hansard accounts are amusingly genteel and bloodless).

I think most of it nowadays is playing for the cameras and evening soundbytes.  I think it turns off as many people as it turns on.

Well on the other hand lots of people sound like a good candidate...until they actually become a candidate.

Even in Westminster calling someone a liar is a big no-no.

Colin Powell. 

OTOH I never liked the fact that he didn't know how to pronounce his own first name.

Though watching his commentary on Fox News during the Terri Schiavo case was comedy gold.

True

It'd be nice to finally be able to vote for a General, however

Yes, accusing another member of Parliament of deceit is a serious matter.  The reason being that the laws of defamation do not apply within the Parliamentary chamber.  The Speaker takes on the responsibility of maintaining the conduct of the members and can expell members who do not act appropriately.

Generals that run against Presidents they have served under(I think the only one is McClellan) have a historical record for losing.  He'd wait until 2016, if he runs at all.
