Rummy says using military is the wrong way to hunt terrorists
by John in DC - 10/3/2004 01:00:37 PM

Rummy is the gift that keeps on giving.

1. Call me crazy, but Rummy just blasted Bush's decision-making in how to go after Zarqawi, and after every other terrorist in the world.

Asked why U.S. forces had not been able to find Zarqawi, Rumsfeld said it was "like finding a needle in a haystack."

"It's very hard to do. The United States military wasn't organized, trained and equipped to go out and do manhunts. That's an FBI job."
Huh? Then why the fuck did the president make the military in charge of searching for Zarqawi if they're not organized, trained and equipped to do so? Has Rummy told the president about this? What the fuck are we doing?

Rumsfeld - "Its very hard working for george bush"

Being the typical conservative, rumsfeld blames someone(thing) else, the FBI. Dan Rather apologized. John Kerry rogered up to a mistake. Meanwhile, as we communicate, more kids are getting killed and NOT ONE MOTHERFUCKER IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS REPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING.

March Forward teammates.

2. well, Rumsfeld is correct . . . but in saying so, he made a deadly error

Rummy in his honesty, here, made a deep political error.

The military is NOT trained to be policemen. No. Instead, the military is trained to kill people, period. There's a vast difference between a cop who enforces the law and a military person who is trained to kill (and not enforce laws).

So, Rummy was correct. But his honesty. His up-front full-faced admission is political suicide. Why? Because his boss, GWBush has placed our military into the position of being Iraqi cops ("peace-makers")!! Now. Wonder why our military is being killed at such high numbers.

edited to add: FIRE GEORGE WALKER BUSH. He's a lousy Commander-in-Chief. He's a lousy president. He cannot foster a damn sane thought if he tried.

3. Now Rumsfeld is saying that it's hard work?

I guess Rove wants them to stay on message.

4. Another Admission

Rumsfailed Admitted to Violating Geneva Convention

Rumsfailed admitted in public on TV that when CIA Director Tenet requested that an Iraqi prisoner be sent to a secret Afghan/US Prison that Rumsfailed did so. After four months a DOD Attorney stated that this was an illegal act. Rumsfailed then ordered that this prisoner be sent back to Abu Graihib but the prisoner was purposefully not listed at that location, also an illegal act.

Rumfailed has commited at least two violations of the Geneva Convention; thereby also violations of The Constitution of the USA. Recently it has been found out that even more detainees were "ghost detainees". The fact that Rumsfailed and Tenet have not been charged speaks volumes. If Congress wishes to garner any respect they should move forward with Rep. Rangle's Impeachment Declaration of Rumsfailed and also proscecute Ex. CIA Tenet.

Does the US, Govt., Congress, and the Justice Dept no longer abide by the Geneva Convention or the Constitution of the USA?

5. They're Republicans. They don't have to play by the rules.

6. But, don't forget: Rumsfailed doesn't 'do' Quagmires

He merely CREATES them and then hands them off to others to get killed in while he blames others for his fuck ups
