In the past six years General Wayne Downing has been on numerous news shows, both network and cable, opining on the war. Inevitably, he has stood with the president. And to this position he seemed to bring the credibility of a military man who knew what he was talking about. What was never said, and is never a disclaimer, is that Downing is a neo-con, on parity with the likes of Frank Gaffney, also a spinmeister for the administration. Why, in all the interviews he’s done has this never been pointed out, him called on it? It is inherently dishonest, though not unexpected from a neo, for him to posture giving an unbiased military view, when in fact nothing could be further from the truth. Below are links which identify his true position for anyone interested.
