Don’t worry, pretty soon the same old Viet-nam arguments will be trotted out:

* “We didn’t fight hard enough to win in Iraq.”

* “We could’ve just bombed them back to the stone age.”

* “The left-wing media traitors and leaked news reports caused us to lose”

Pretty soon, we will be forced to leave Iraq and you’ll see all of these B.S. statements in places like FOX news… And the reality is that those of us in the “reality-based community” will have to put up with them for the next 20 years…

So where is the so called liberal media.

The public has a right to know.

I understand that retired military officers that testified were Republicans.

Men of ego seldom think out other points of view. Mr. Rumsfeld is only following his nature.
I think to blame him for the entire mess in Iraq
is unfair. I blame Mr. Bush for all of it. He had to give the approval for all the money and manpower. Congress was also their but they were just door stops in the halls of Congress. To replace Mr. Rumsfeld would be a waste of time. Mr. Bush would find a another Necon to take his place.

Yes, but it’s not going to stop Mushroom Clouds over Tehran…

Yes it’s all true, Rummy… is just a bean counter..with an obsessive compulsive personality disorder, I bet he washes his hands 150 times a day....

But Bean Counters like Rummy lack imagination, insight and vision.

They can be quite inuitive at times, when it comes to numerical analysis, but they have a dificult time with “the Big Picture”.

I’m sure Rummy’s numbers are good, but he’s so concerned with the details, he hasn’t grasped the fact that we are getting are assess handed to us....

Our army has been trashed, by him, and those inaffable hard to “quantify”, concepts, like morale, exhaustion, and fighting for a cause… some of the most important things in a war… are lost on him…

Yet, our military leaders.. seem helpless against the Neo Con Artists and their “the ends justify the means” philosphy of beauracratic russian roulette, of forcing Generals who know better to kiss butt or get out, keep their mouth shut or loose your retirement.....

I suppose there is one thing that Rummmy will eventually understand..... Military defeat....

and I wouldn’t be too sure that we can just fly into Tehran and drop some nukes and walk away unscathed.. the Iranians are well armed, well trained....and won’t just eat our bombs.....

there may be quite a bit of an upsurge in hand washing for Rummy at the end of all of this......there may be nothing else to do in prison for days on end, because when we get our assess kicked, there will be a price to pay… and guess who’s going to pay it....

Rumsfeld isn’t listening to or caring about what anyone has to say about his abilities. Neither does GWB or Cheney. They’ve been “elected” and as long as they keep their hands out of the cookie jar, and flies zipped, they’re going to “lead” us, even if it’s over a cliff.

We are expected to follow without complaint.

So far, they and we are living up to expectations.

“We need a Manhattan project” (Major General Paul D. Eaton)

Whaaa?

How much more will it take for people to recognize Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, & Co. for what they are?  They are incompetent; plain and simple.

Irregardless of any conspiracy, these politicians do not know how to do their job.  Why are Americans so ambivalent over their blundering?
