Who is Col. Danny Bubp?

Jean the Harpy cited one Col. Danny Bubp during last night's House fracas as an active duty U.S. soldier calling for the U.S. to stay the course in Iraq?

So who is Col. Bubp? Is he one of those clean-scrubbed American kids from the heartland sitting there in Fallujah with an M-16?

On the contrary -- as you could have guessed, he's just another Republican operative. Oh, he's a military guy all right; just not one with the kind of extensive combat experience Schmidt's remarks would have you believe.
