What a %$#^%$&^%$#&*% liar Rumsfeld is....
Did you see this quote of the day:


"If you had said to me a year ago, ‘Describe the situation you'll be in today, one year later,’ I don't know many people who would have described it — I would not have — the way it happens to be today."

— Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, saying he could not have foreseen the current levels of unrest and American casualties in Iraq.


Geeze...I think a majority of the population in this country could have forseen that.

3. he mocked people who turned out to be right
all the hawks did, they were smug and contemptuous, and they should all be out of government and out of the media. Instead, they're still there, saying let's not dwell on the past, and rewriting history.

7. I would have, in fact I did predict it...and so did a million or so
other Americans, but we were only a goddamn focus group after all.
