Rumsfeld says we should not sit around "hiding under chairs."
Rumsfeld: 'Bet Your Life' Threat to U.S. Is Serious

By Will Dunham

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Pentagon (news - web sites) on Tuesday conducted an exercise to prepare for a terror attack and widened warplane patrols around the United States amid fresh concern about threats to nuclear power plants and other vital infrastructure facilities.
...
"You ask, 'Is it serious?' Yes, you bet your life. People don't do that unless it's a serious situation," Rumsfeld told a Pentagon briefing.
...
But Rumsfeld said Americans should not cower in fear.

"We shouldn't sit around, you know, hiding under chairs and hoping it will go away. We have to live our lives and that's what we'll all do, and that's precisely what the president suggested," Rumsfeld said.

2. That would be a tricky thing to do.
The idiotic remarks don't fall far from the Bush do they?

4. I'm looking for a chair I can hide under, don't seem to have one.
Maybe need to check Ebay...

It really does amaze me - Rummy, Condiliar, Shrub, Dickless, Asscroft,
etc. - they are actually and truly all crazier than shithouse rats. How the hell do not most people grasp this?
:crazy: :eyes: :puke:

5. How about a bench?
Might be a little cramped hiding under a chair, might be able to fit under a bench though. How about hiding under the bed?

we can go sit in those rooms we ducttaped and visquened last time we were advised by the DHS. We could have a contest, last man breathing wins?

10. I am sitting ON a chair, not under one.
Yes, I think Rumfilled (as Bob Boudelang calls him) is insane.

11. Rumsfeld is an Idiot.
