out with Bush, from a wide array

[varwoche]

More opinions vis-a-vis Bush's conduct of foriegn policy:

Angered by President Bush's conduct of foreign policy and dismayed about America's diminished reputation abroad, more than two dozen former top diplomats and military leaders will release a statement this week calling for a change in U.S. national security policy.

Members of the group -- a mix of Republicans and Democrats -- have served in capitals from Moscow to Tel Aviv and Lima to Kinshasa. The list includes a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a former head of U.S. Central Command, a former CIA director and a decorated array of former ambassadors and assistant secretaries of state and defense.

This group includes:
- H. Allen Holmes, former assistant secretary of defense for special operations
- Jack Matlock, former ambassador to USSR
- Arthur A. Hartman, former ambassador to USSR
- Adm. Stansfield Turner, former CIA director
- William Crowe, former Joint Chiefs chairman
- Gen. Merrill McPeak, former Air Force chief of staff
- Joseph P. Hoar, former Central Command chief
- Phyllis E. Oakley, former chief of State Dept intelligence operation
- Donald F. McHenry, former U.N. ambassador
- Bill Harrop, former U.S. ambassador to Israel and Kenya

Bill Harrop: I really am essentially a Republican. I voted for George Bush's father, and I voted for George Bush. But what we got was not the George Bush we voted for.
