Al Haig - RIP

Truly a repulsive man. No use for him.

just watched nixon in an old interview last night, talking about how tough haig was during watergate.

Had Seven Days in May been released fifteen years later, Burt Lancaster could have modeled his character after Haig.

Whoa, Fred Armisen killed Al Haig.

Also burn in hell, hope Kissinger's next, etc.

I guess this means no one is in charge here anymore.

fuck that bastard's soul in the eyesockets

lol opened the thread, spotted this line at the bottom of the screen -- "fuck that bastard's soul in the eyesockets" -- and knew who posted it even before i scrolled down.

a soul has eyesockets?

coulda been Shakey

(ok, admittedly he doesnt have my light touch)

i think he'd still have eyes, at this point (unless he's one of those wierdo "donor"-types)

If his soul is a bird it is probably pecking the eyeballs out of his own corpse as we speak.

i think the bird soul gouges the corpse's eyes out and then gives the eyes to the Buddha and then the Buddha eats them. just a theory.

So that's what Tiger Woods meant about his roots.

President Barack Obama praised Haig as a public servant who "exemplified our finest warrior-diplomat tradition of those who dedicate their lives to public service."

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Haig "served his country in many capacities for many years, earning honor on the battlefield, the confidence of presidents and prime ministers, and the thanks of a grateful nation."

"I think of him as a patriot's patriot," said George P. Shultz, who succeeded Haig as the country's top diplomat in 1982.

"No matter how you sliced him it came out red, white and blue. He was always willing to serve."

No matter how you sliced him

“That's not a lie, it's a terminological inexactitude. Also, a tactical misrepresentation.”

Powers Boothe captured his oleaginous soul in Nixon.

Wonder how long until he's announcing that he's taken control of hell.

“We didn't lose Vietnam. We quit Vietnam.”

Risible Human Project

I used to catch him on Hannity's show once in a while; he looked frail.

Haig attempted coup d'etat spoofed on Fridays in 1981!

No matter how you sliced him, he was still baloney.

Mr. Haig’s first taste of war was brutal. In the first months of the Korean War, he served on the staff of Maj. Gen. Edward M. Almond, chief of staff of the Far Eastern Command. Official Army histories depict General Almond as a terror to his underlings and as one of General MacArthur’s most uncompromising disciples.

Following orders, General Almond sent thousands of American soldiers north toward the Chinese border in November 1950. They met a ferocious surprise counterattack from a far larger Chinese force.

General Almond and Lieutenant Haig flew to the forward outpost of an American task force on Nov. 28, where the general pinned a medal on a lieutenant colonel’s parka, told him the Chinese were only stragglers, and then flew off. Of that task force, once 2,500 strong, some 1,000 were killed, wounded, captured or left to die. In all, within two weeks, American forces in Korea took 12,975 casualties, in one of the worst routs in American military history.

good role model al

A man like Haig should have stayed a colonel, where he could have demonstrated the full extent of his talents while doing only limited damage. He got too far above himself for his own good, or anyone else's.

Whoa, Fred Armisen killed Al Haig.

I like how the second billed story is one of those things that can be dusted off every few years.

Just like TIME's annual "The Search For God" cover.

This guy always needed an eyebrow trim.

A decent, patriotic man who fought for his country. RIP. The mean-spirited, crude nature of many of the attacks on this thread is a vivid illustration of the moral vacuum at the heart of the Left.

I don't trouble myself over moral vacuums like Haig.

dude was not decent or patriotic imho

I hereby admit the disingenuousness of my remarks.
