If we just avoid places that are full of Iraqis we'll be safe.

4. Why?
We already know that several car bombs have gone off in the past 24 hours. Rummy must get on CNN to tell us that the media is not telling us of all the wonderful things happening in Iraq.

What a moron.

10. It will likely get worse before election. He's try to reduce troops time.
But don't get your hopes up to troops. Basically your f**ked to troops. But he is saying the same as Colin Powell.

17. Rummy is the 'bad news guy'. Rove senses that Bush will be called on his
fantasy picture of Iraq. Kerry should compare and contrast Bush's last statements about Iraq with Rummy's statement, Powell's statement, and the reality of Iraq.

19. I hate that, they say he's talking then they quote him from some radio
show. Sorry guys. I fell for their pre-ad BS. I'll stop that. But I know he is trying to cover his ass by backing down a bit.

33. EVERYTHING IS FINE...
Keep moving people. There is nothing to see here.

The situation is completely normal. There is No cause for concern.

Just routine ordinance activity.

The blood and dismembered body parts are of no concern.

No need to read or think for yourself. We have the situation 100% under control.

We have the terrorists on the run. They are weakening.

This was just an isolated incident. It bares no reflection on the overall situation in Iraq.

Most of Iraq is under our control and completely peaceful. Except for the cities. And urban centers. Besides those - everything is running smoothly.

35. Let's relocate the entire population of Iraq!
Looking at the map it is clear that there is plenty of space for the Iraqis in the desert west of the Euphrates River. Let's forceably move the population there, and build a security wall to contain them, as the Israelis are doing along the West Bank. Then we will be free to exploit Iraq's oil, which is the real reason we invaded Iraq. Sure, the world will scream about us doing this, but what the hell? We are Amerika, the most powerful nation on Earth! If they give us too much flak, we can always nuke a few, to keep the rest in their place! Perhaps this will be the gist of Rummy's statement?

36. They are softening this subject for tonight
They know if shrub sticks to his happy times are here again scenario he will be ruined. Over the last couple days they have slowly been speaking of mild problems in Iraq. Rumsfeld will now speak out on how bad thing are now actually going.

But remember this is not a flip-flop! .......crazy stuff
