Rummy was just on CBS with Schiffer- What the hell did he say?

[onecent]

None of it made ANY sense whatsoever. I had to ask my husband what the man was talking about....my husband looked like his eyes were crossed.
Dear God I hate this administration.

[cassiepriam]

1. I think he said we have to stay in Iraq to defend ourselves? Huh?

Duh, if we hadn't invaded Iraq we wouldn't have to defend
anything.

[Botany]

2. He is just trying to muddy the waters and not answer anything,

"The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence." -on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction

[Bullwinkle925]

3. My God - that pic could have been taken in the '40's during a

conclave at Hitler's "Eagle's Nest".


:scared:

[JanMichael]

4. No shit! Holy cap that's an evil looking fucker.

This cabal will not, NOT, bow out quietly...

[Bullwinkle925]

5. I've never in my life been so dismayed and disgusted by the lot

running the govt. than this bunch of no-good Mo-Fo's.


Have I said today how much I hate these people????

[JanMichael]

8. They're like 40's carictures of mobsters.

And I despise the bastards too.

[sandnsea]

15. I'd take the 40's mobsters

over these asshats.

[Sacajawea]

16. He looks like that nasty Nazi from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" to me.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

20. oh man

i didn't read your post, but look down. great minds. . .

well it's either "great minds. . " or completely obvious (which is a whole new level of scary to me).

[Bullwinkle925]

30. Unfortunately, I think it is a new level of evil that has taken over our

government - perhaps the world itself. I think they've out-Hitlerized
Hitler!

[SlavesandBulldozers]

19. ahem

[peekaloo]

6. Comedy routine for Nazis.

Now it's the media's fault!

The same media who heralded his "sexiness" not so long ago.

[Gabi Hayes]

7. Mein fuhrer, I can VALK!

[Gabi Hayes]

9. ''because as we know, there are known knowns.....

there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."

[Botany]

11. The man is no doddering old fool but an evil shit.

"If I know the answer I'll tell you the answer, and if I don't, I'll just respond, cleverly."

12. Crouching Tiger?

[cornermouse]

10. My theory.

He's trying to say it in such a way that

a. people won't understand or

b. it will take people so long to untwist what he just said that he'll be long gone and any questions people might have simply won't get asked.

[6000eliot]

13. And why can't the interviewer say

"Now, would you translate that answer into English?"

[La Coliniere]

14. Who the frig knows.

Rummy is this badministration's master of obfuscation, double speak, and issuing nonsensical nonsequiturs that make your head spin. He's a spin master of the highest order, besides being the "Prince of Darkness".

[SlavesandBulldozers]

21. correction

he's not the "prince of darkness".

your homework assignment is to find out who that is.

;)

[La Coliniere]

23. Could that be

Richard Perle? I heard Arundhati Roy call Rummy the POD more than 2 years ago. Can't there be more than 1?

[SlavesandBulldozers]

25. great job!

A+
Well, if Arundhati Roy called him the POD i suppose he can be one too:)

[indie_voter]

17. He never says anything

He is the king of double speak.

He talks with disdainful authority, if he is questioned he behaves as if the questioner is the idiot for not understanding his points.

When the reality is he just rambles incoherent gibberish.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

22. double-speak isn't rambling incoherent gibberish though

it's more a roman a clef.

[Gabi Hayes]

26. ??????

might want to check dictionary.com

[SlavesandBulldozers]

28. sure if you equate doublespeak with doubletalk

which dictionary.com does, but I wouldn't.

Doublespeak could mean deliberately evasive without being gibberish.

[indie_voter]

29. It doesn't have to be mutually exclusive. :) n/t

[Cleita]

18. CBS just coming up for me. I guess I'd better get a drink.

:-(

[Cleita]

24. Rumsfeld edited out on my version of the news.

How about that? Instead they had some story about cross-bred designer dogs.

[Disturbed]

27. Congress doesn't have the guts to Impeach Rumsfailed.

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. Rumsfeld also admitted to signing orders for tougher interogation methods which violated the Geneva Conventions.

Rumfailed has commited at least three 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 prosecute Ex. CIA Tenet.

“For millions of Salvadorans back then, peace and prosperity was little more than a distant hope,” he said in San Salvador. “In that struggle for freedom, many lives were lost. I think they would be proud to know that . . . soldiers from a peaceful and democratic El Salvador are today fighting alongside U.S. and coalition forces to help to secure freedom and prosperity for the people of Iraq.” Rumsfeld

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