Rumsfeld Says Iran Moving Border Post into Iraq
WASHINGTON, July 9 — Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said on Wednesday there were recent reports that Iran had moved some border posts several kilometers into Iraq and said this was ''not acceptable.''

Appearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Rumsfeld cited ''recent reports of Iranians moving some of their border posts along about a 25 kilometer stretch several kilometers inside of Iraq.''
He said that was ''obviously not being respectful of Iraq's sovereignty. Certainly that is behavior that is not acceptable and they should be staying on their own side of the border.''

snip....

Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain called Rumsfeld's statement about the Iraq border ''disturbing news,'' and said Washington may ''have to contemplate significantly more'' action against Iran.

...Rummy didn't mention that 'Poles' had seized a radio station near Gliewitz while he was at it. How do you say 'Operation Canned Goods' in Farsi, anyways?

6. Rumsfelds problem is spelled S-E-N-I-L-I-T-Y, and he's getting whackier
by the minute. He's too damn dangerous to be allowed to be out walking around without a keeper.

8. Put a sock in it Rummy
Predictable is right, lying asshole.

The neo-con rats have painted themselves into a corner, better start another war :puke:

And McCain is on the neo-con's payroll. I hope all of you "McCainiacs" are paying attention, this is the same turd that claimed on hardball, that we have to invade Iraq because they are a "threat to Israel's security" :eyes:
