 Generals over the White House: The political generals
It did not serve the military's purposes to retain Haig in the White House under conditions where the political pendulum was swinging against the Ford administration as heir to the discredited Nixon presidency.
Both Schlesinger and Haig were known for their extreme views with respect to the military, were generally opposed to SALT and detente, and were for military superiority over the USSR.
Haig was constantly leaking his opinions on SALT the neutron bomb and other issues as well as bulldozing his NATO allies and even publicly irritating them by scolding them for not rapidly enough aligning their positions with his.

Haig was implacable in squeezing to the sidelines potential competitors for my attention.
I began to wonder whether Haig always resisted Nixon's version that I was a temperamental genius in need of reining in by stabler personalities, and that he could be helpful in tranquilizing me, so to speak.
At the start of Nixon's second term, Haig was made Vice Chief of Staff of the Army, a four-star rank culminating a spectacular rise from colonel in four years.

 Alexander Haig Biography (Military Leader/Presidential Advisor) — Infoplease.com
Al Haig graduated from West Point military academy in 1947, served in Europe and Asia until 1960, worked in Washington until a combat tour in Vietnam in 1966-67, then returned to Washington in 1969 to work in the White House for Henry Kissinger.
Haig also served as NATO commander (1974-79), and in 1981 he became Ronald Reagan's secretary of state.
In 1981 President Reagan was injured after a failed assassination attempt and Haig famously blundered on TV, claiming constitutional authority ("I am in control here"), when, in fact, the order of succession places the secretary of state below the vice president, the speaker of the House and the president pro tempore of the Senate.

The comments by Haig, Nixon's chief of staff and also a secretary of state under President Reagan, came at a conference at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum examining the Vietnam War and the American Presidency.
Haig should be thrown out of the Republican party.
Perhaps you have heard the expression: "He who ignores his history is doomed to relive it." All Haig is doing is pointing out that, while the details are quite different, we have been here before; that we should not be using the same failed response as we did before.

Haig is proudly listed in official publications of the Chinese Overseas Shipping Co., or COSCO, as a senior honorary adviser.
Instead, Haig is the worst kind of hypocrite -- the kind who accepts every benefit of life in a free society while personally profiting from a promotional relationship with the cruelest, most repressive and increasingly dangerous nation of earth.
Haig Identified the VP's wherabouts and then said "I'm in control here at the White House." The statement was not chilling because Haig was declaring control, he was so nervous that he was practically shaking, and his demeanor conveyed anything but firm control.

 THE HUMAN LIFE REVIEW
He was criticized and made the butt of jokes for this overly dramatic leap into the pilot's seat, but in his defense, at least he had some grounds for his claim (Vice President George Bush being temporarily absent).
Al Haig never gained much steam in his later bid for the Republican nomination, partly because, rightly or wrongly, his public moment of being "in charge" did not impress most people with his gravitas.
Our century or two of emboldening cries that "we're in charge here" are not very impressive either, when we look at the body counts, the debased culture, the unhappy children and frantic adults and large numbers of "sick" people and "sick" acts.

 monkey fist | Al Haig v. Norman Schwarzkopf
On the chance that Al Haig was Deep Throat, as John Dean has claimed, he gets the early lead.
They would both bomb brown and fl people at every opportunity, so that's a wash. Schwarzkopf does have a head like a Crenshaw melon and reminds me of Jonathan Winters; but I was sick of hearing the silly "Stormin' Norman" before the first Patriot missle flew in the Gulf.
Haig's senility onset is closer, and he's not current on the latest Pentagon toys for killing from afar.

In a C-SPAN program yesterday on the 50th anniversary of the National Security Council, former Secretary of State Alexander Haig was interviewed, along with former NSC Chairman Zbigniew Brzezinski.
Kissinger and Haig stand to profit richly from contracts with China that, in some cases, put the United States in a vulnerable position, according to current and former national-security officials.
Haig suggests jailing me, maybe he better explain his own pecuniary interest in the notorious COSCO, a People's Liberation Army front, for which he officially and publicly serves as a senior honorary adviser.

 Oliver Stone, Al Haig and 'The Day Reagan Was Shot'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The film is grossly and blatantly unfair to Al Haig, a patriotic soldier who saw combat in Korea and went on to serve on the staff of Gen. MacArthur, as a decorated commander in Vietnam, and as supreme commander of NATO.
As Haig has told the story, and the tapes confirm, the real worry among top officials that day was that the assassination attempt on Reagan might spark a chain reaction of unintended consequences that would lead the Russians to panic and begin a war.
While Haig told the White House press that the U.S. government did not see the assassination as an act of war and was not increasing the military's alert status, this was not really true.

 Al Haig - Biography - AOL Music
One of the finest pianists of the bop era (and one who learned from Bud Powell's innovations quite early), Al Haig was quite busy during two periods of his career but unfortunately was pretty obscure in the years between.
After serving in the Coast Guard (playing in bands during 1942-1944) and freelancing around Boston, Haig worked steadily with Dizzy Gillespie (1945-1946), Charlie Parker (1948-1950), and Stan Getz (1949-1951); and was on many recordings, mostly as a sideman (including some classic Diz and Bird sessions) but also as a leader for Spotlite, Dawn, and Prestige.

 Blue Mass. Group :: Was Tom Reilly channeling Al Haig in last week's debate?
Al Haig famously declared himself "in control" immediately after President Reagan was shot in 1981 - an assertion that was both legally incorrect and hugely embarrassing, as Haig is now probably remembered as much for that one self-aggrandizing sentence as for anything else he did in his long career.
The Haig comparison, while cute, is major league hyperbole.

 Nixon adviser: Iraq is repeat of mistakes made in Vietnam (Alexander Haigh questions Iraq war)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The comments by Haig, also a Secretary of State under President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, were made Saturday at a conference examining the Vietnam war and the American presidency.
When Haig says "we haven't learned very much", it means to me that this country, given the conduct of the Democratic Party and the MSM, is, for whatever reason, incapable of making the kind of LONG TERM committment to victory that winning this type of war requires and the individual members of our military deserve.
How Al Haig ever got into the Military in the first place, much less become a General with several stars, is a much greater mystery than why our leaders chose to pave the way for the communist to win the war in Nam, by allowing the enemy sanctuaries in surrounding countries.
