Rummy: "It tells you a lot about the New York Times..."

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/TheNote/story?id=156238

<snip>

"It tells you a lot about the New York Times and it tells you a lot about the individual who did that," said Rumsfeld. ". . . for people to behave in that way, in my opinion, is shameful."

1. He had to rehearse to ensure he didn't laugh when he said that
They started out incredibly pathetic and continue to get worse.

2. Go take a look in the mirror, Rumsfeld.
There are a lot of people who think what you're doing is shameful.

And while you're at it, go fuck yourself you sick corrupt lying sack of shit Nazi.

6. High praise, considering the source.
When Rummy predicts red, bet everything on black.

8. He didn't bitch when the NYT sat on the NSA story until after the election
The NYT sat on the NSA spy story for an entire year, even though they knew Bush was clearly breaking the law. If not for the NYT, we might be talking about President Kerry right now (and the Iraq war would have remained only a neocon wet dream if not for Judith Miller and her enablers at the Times).

America-hating Donald Rumsfeld can go fuck himself. He should try reading the Constitution.

10. what does this say about you then Rumsfeld
A war like no other our nation has faced
Donald Rumsfeld in Washington
Friday September 28, 2001

This war will not necessarily be one in which we pore over military targets and mass forces to seize those targets. Instead, military force will likely be one of many tools we use to stop individuals, groups and countries that engage in terrorism.

Our response may include firing cruise missiles into military targets somewhere in the world; we are just as likely to engage in electronic combat to track and stop investments moving through offshore banking centres.

The uniforms of this conflict will be bankers' pinstripes and programmers' grunge just as assuredly as desert camouflage.


Even the vocabulary of this war will be different. When we "invade the enemy's territory", we may well be invading his cyberspace

12. God bless the brave reporters at the NY Times
Every illegal act and abuse of power
hidden behind a cynical cloak of secrecy
should be brought to light by this sort
of fearless reporting.

Bring those Republican crooks to justice !!

13. The goals of the "former" Office of Strategic Influence have continued
as well as other agendas of the RW fascist extremists within the BFEE.

Some things are beyond shameful.

Here's an example from October 2003, "Rumsfeld's Roadmap to Propaganda"
