You're probably thinking, "'Wrest more land'? But Westmoreland was famous for fighting a war of attrition, not wresting land! If anything, his problem was that he didn't wrest enough land--" Then you stop yourself. "Ooh... I get it," you say. "Irony."
And if you like that irony, check this next one out:
What's ironic about good ol' Stormin' Norman being equated with a shortstop, you ask? Doesn't matter. It's a sports metaphor, and those are always apropos. Maybe Schwarzkopf was our "cutoff man" in the Gulf War. Maybe he's "batting a thousand." Who knows. Maybe he needs a "seventh inning stretch." It pretty much means whatever you want it to mean.
This one is way more clever than anything MoveOn.org will ever come up with. A professional warrior, the top military commander in the United States, and his name means "peace" in Latin! This one's a slam dunk!
Of course, I always have to explain it to everyone I show it to, and it always loses some punch once it's been explained. But still.
Anyway, speaking of "punch"...
This one's my favorite.
So if anyone from MoveOn.org is out there reading this blog, be sure to drop me a line. There's plenty more where this came from!

I like General Shortstop the best. But all are fantastic! You say there's plenty more where those came from.....?
I have to say General POW!!! is my favorite too.
We should get a General Tso. I love his chicken.
Making full page ads is probably just a full phase fad. (?!?)
