Bush Is A Disgrace, Say Diplomats

MSNBC reports:

"Ambassadors and military commanders are a rare breed. Those who do their jobs well often serve under several presidents, carrying out the policies designed by administrations of both parties. They are not usually known for taking a stand against the government they work for; quietly and proudly, they serve their country. Until now.

Billing themselves as Diplomats and Military Commanders for Change, 27 retired senior government officials released a statement Wednesday morning claiming George W. Bush’s foreign policy has damaged the United States’s reputation abroad, making the country less safe and isolated from its natural allies. The U.S. invaded Iraq with dubious evidence of weapons of mass destruction and without a clear exit strategy, they claim, endangering the lives of U.S. soldiers and destabilizing the entire region. Their unusual stand includes an appeal to voters to remove the incumbent from the White House this fall. "
