rumsfeld seems like a pissy old man while answering his own questions...

posed by Hillary, she's not letting him go easy though & that is good to see for a change :patriot:

of war crimes and locked up for a long, long time.

and all his nefarious, ill gotten war profits retained :thumbsup:

idea that he's been WRONG all these years, that the lesson of Vietnam wasn't reshaping the military away from massive land forces dedicated to capturing large areas of territory into a small force capable of striking and killing a lot of people and then leaving, but that the true lesson of Vietnam is that it was simply UNWINNABLE because we should never have been there in the first place.

That lesson is being taught to him by the people of Iraq.

Personally, I think the cost of teaching one pissy old man such a hard lesson is far too high. Saner people at the Pentagon, if there are any sane people at the Pentagon, should have spotted him early enough in his career to keep him completely out of power.

Perhaps that's the lesson Iraq is meant to teach the generation fighting there. I sincerely hope they learn it a lot better than the rich and powerful of my own generation learned the lesson of Vietnam.

three cruise missiles a day into & onto some target saddam held dear every freaking day from then till now and beyond, they knew right where he was and that he was going nowhere but they send in rumsfeld and the ham handed tommy franks (another midland tx guy) along with the pathological sanction of bush himself & the bfee, and it all goes to shit

they have learned no lessons, and america herself pays the price once again

being "unfulfilled." Nice way of calling the old SOB a liar.

Rummy responded he'd been very "measured" in his words. Hillary requested that the record be kept open, and that Rummy's former remarks be added to it.

Point: Hillary.

is all over DC, and easily brought up front would be my guess, it is well past time to make this gang answer for their own mistakes in their own words

Rummy said "when did I ever mislead this congress"

record.

I don't think Rumsfelds going to recover from it either.

he'll maybe have to stop his double-speak gibberish and eat his own crow sometime soon

He'd say no. Could he have been less defensive? He doesn't know, you tell him.

Freakin' blathering maniac makes me want to slap him silly, and that's in addition to the horrible atrocities and war crimes he's committed.

:rofl: but then it's all like x(

:hi:

him again the other day, doing the same routine.

He's just not a smart or competent person. Otherwise he'd just answer questions directed at him. His little question-answer is his way of cutting off further questions, and reframing questions he doesn't like so that he can answer them better. A sign of a dishonest, insecure manipulator.

room empties out, or people give up...and that's when they write their own ticket :thumbsdown:

she slapped him, priceless look on his face, he sure didn't expect that, LOL

"My goodness!"

in the past few weeks is sounding like a pissy old man. Their demeanor has changed and they all look worried. Bush, Rice, Rumsfeld, all of them, are definitely showing signs of strain that haven't been apparent before. I am afraid that they have something in the works and that something big is getting ready to happen.

is one thing and we clearly have to aware of whomever is trying to kill us,

but they have fought the whole thing 'on the cheap' AND symmetrically and it has all failed; it is a hellish nightmare and no longer acceptable to simply spout back "war is hell get used to it"

History will not be kind to this old fuck.

'singular & unique war action', history is replete with winners & losers, my sense is that these are willing to tip the entire game board over and declare their loss of diplomatic & war plan savvy a victory before having to admit they were ever wrong

Bush has no self-confidence, despite the fake swagger. He prefers whiners who will suck up to him (no, no dirty joke required) rather than confident, honest people who might challenge Bush and tell him how stupid he is.

who is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people....

:rofl:

He's definitely a few fries short of a Happy Meal.

:rofl: :thumbsup:

Do I want kids on my lawn? My goodness.

:spray: :thumbsup:

I'm old! I'm Donald Rumsfeld, all your questions are confusing me!

:-)
