Hey, I couldn't resist this "excuse" to post that striking photograph. Does he look angry or what?
What frame is he wearing?? I have customers that would buy it knowing that he wears one.

You can see the frames pretty clearly; what he was wearing at the time that he resigned from the Bush administration. Look closely at the hinges. Maybe somebody can take an educated guess.

The frame in the first picture is Silhouette. I'd already responded to your tangent thread before I saw this one, but those are two different frames.
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
Here's the response, via Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff since October of 2007...

Mullen said Wednesday that the former top commander in Afghanistan, General David McKiernan, had requested more troops during the previous administration, but they were sent to Iraq instead.
"That was the priority of a previous president. We do what the president says and that's what we did."
"I spoke out early that Afghanistan was under resourced"
"In my tenure here, Gen. McKiernan specifically had a fairly substantial request for upwards of 20,000 forces"
