General Lambert speaking at Obama rally

Just had this email shot to me...

Veterans for Obama and Barack Obama’s Campaign for Change are very excited to invite you to join us Tuesday, August 5, with Major General Geoffrey Lambert, United States Army (Ret.), in Fayetteville (details below). This great American leader and Green Beret Commanding General will discuss why he supports Senator Obama for the next President of the United States and our next Commander-in-Chief. Major General Lambert returns to North Carolina after two assignments at Fort Bragg. He was the Commanding General of the U.S. Army Special Forces Command (Airborn) assuming command in September 2001, and later he was the Commanding General of the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare. Here is an interesting Op-Ed the General published in the Washington Post in 2006.


There was also a link to an Op-Ed written by General Lambert at the Washington Post here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...033101585.html

The op-ed gives a glimpse into where his head is at. I'm not going to sharpshoot his opinions, but any Green Beret who supports Obama is going to raise my eyebrow, and many others as well. Anyone have some stories on General Lambert that could illuminate this story a tad?

I do not support the GO's position with BHO.

By the way, I also served with Dan.

I think the action pretty much speaks for itself. McCain supporters are not the ones who defaced Dan's memorial. Obama's are. The right to "pack heat", as he desires, will be eliminated with a Dem Congress and POTUS. Good luck after Obama and his supporters take over, because the majority of them do not believe that you have the right to carry a gun, or to protect yourself. You cannot shoot someone for spitting on another person (or you), regardless.

Mama said if you don't have anything good to say, keep your mouth shut.

That's all I have to say about it right now.

What in the hell happened to Geoff? I didn't serve with Dan, but I served two tours with Lambert and have trouble believing his stance.

RE

I'm just a pup, so I have no first hand knowledge of the gentlemen, but could it be a case of political expediency? Perhaps he's trying to read tea leaves and assure himself a spot in the cabinet or DoD staff? Different means to different ends, I guess.

...and electing Obama is going to make the Islamic terrorists love us how?

Is he naive or insane?
