According to him, he is tired of the "Elites" commenting on the war.

3. Correct me if I'm wrong but....

According to these screwballs Iraq is the "FRONT" in the war on TERROR. So by extension success in the war on TERROR is NOT the absence of TERRORism....

Rumy is clearly doing his best work here. This type of pretzelized non-logic doesn't happen by accident. You really have to work at it but rummy makes it look easy. This may be his true masterwork.

4. I heard that, too! I thought my brain would explode!

I was in heavy traffic, yelling "What IS success, then?!" Did he really think before he said that? It's just unbelievable. He makes McNamara look like a straight shooter. Hell, I actually wish we could have McNamara BACK at this point! AAAARGH!!!

5. If ending terrorism is not our goal what pray tell is?

I guess we are being prepared for another change of mission.

7. You silly goose.. We are sacrificing soldiers so they can VOTE

Of course we're not all that confident in our OWN voting process, but the new goal seems to be a "purple finger in every pot" for Iraqis:(
