Meet Paul D. Eaton

Video Description General Paul D. Eaton On Real Time with Bill Maher Personal Message Thank you, YouTube! Eaton is a retired Army Major General who was originally in charge of traing Iraqi's soldiers in the early days of our occupation of Iraq. Bill Maher interviewed Eaton on the 3/9/07 episode of Real Time on HBO. From Crooks and Liars: Friday night (3/9/07) on Real Time, Bill Maher interviewed retired Army Major General. Maher tries to get a laugh out of him but as you'll see, Eaton is a straightforward man who doesn't mince words - if he says it, he means it. He blames Donald Rumsfeld for the majority of the failures in Iraq (including the current problems at Walter Reed), thanks God for the new Democratic majority and lays down some truth: PAUL EATON: "We've got this thing that so many military believe that Republican administrations are good for the military. That is rarely the case. And, we have to get a message through to every soldier, every family member, every friend of soldiers that "the Republican party, the Republican dominated Congress has absolutely been the worst thing that's happened to the United States Army and the United States Marine Corps." Those words. Those good looks. Oh, man.

I'm not sure what he was referring to. Was he hinting at a possible coup to overthrow Bush? Normally I would not welcome anything like that in this country, but with all the damage that Bush has inflicted on this nation and the world, it might not be a bad idea.
