spreading the word that the Iraq war is going well. Heck I bought it...

on Iraq. Time for the old geezer People mag once deemed "sexy" - Rummy - to get out there and lie his ass off for the cause. Can't jeopardize Halliburton profits and PNAC ambitions just because people are dying.

If you haven't watched it yet, do! At least the beginning....Timmy is asking about protests against the war...Rummy brushes it off and says that there have always been protests, Civil War, Vietnam, World War 2 AND 3. He said three, he did and Timmy didn't pick up on it.

Isn't this just as "bad" as Saddam/Osama?

Timmy is arguing...oh, no, he is giving up....

or somethin'? Back from the future?

rumsfeld's primary accomplishment has been to popularize this annoying form of discourse. Few politicians can speak anymore without resorting to this device...

I wonder if he'll back-pedal on the comment he made at the hearing which contradicted Cheney? Did he get his marching orders?

Rummy's out doing damage control. They're losing the war in Iraq AND at home.

I am seeing a man completely disconnected from reality. It is fascinating to observe how he spins everything to fit his pre-determined worldview, despite the fact that all available hard evidence serves to undermine it. Stay the course, Rumster!

best idea they had?

These midget brains filled the cabinet with mindless blabber mouth do-nothings simply to consolidate the neo con stranglehold on the world's power and money, and then can only call on each other when it turns out most people are smarter than they are. So, they've got no one left to do damage control, except the usual suspects that did the damage in the first place.

What a plan!

Isn't that always the way in a crime family? Papa makes some bad judgements and policies that he thinks will consolidate his personal power and avenge some pathetic insult, and then sends his brainless thugs out with a shotgun. When they leave all the evidence behind, the next lower rung thugs have to take them out, and anyone who can squeal. Eventually, you're left with the in-bread cases who can't even remember how they got into the family or who's in charge.

Our leadership is disgraceful.
