Everyone’s linking to this one, but what the heck — let’s dogpile. Rand Beers resigned from his position as a counterterrorism advisor in the White House just before the war on Iraq began. Not because he didn’t support the war; he did. Rather, he couldn’t take working for Bush.
Beers had been working in the NSC since the 80s; he replaced Oliver North as director for counterterrorism and counternarcotics. He worked for Reagan, Clinton, and both Bushes. He’s a registered Democrat but it would be hard to argue that he dislikes Republicans.
He’s now working for Kerry, because he feels that strongly about the mess Bush is making of our counterterrorism policy. Read the article.

I was going to respond to this, but you know what? I’m not going to bother. You’ll just make something up about how I’m “clouding the issue” and say things like “I can’t respect you.” You’ll lie about what my argument is and pretend to be so offended that you couldn’t possibly do anything less than ignore it.
That’s pretty pathetic, really, but it’s also kind of funny in a way.
