Rumsfeld: Terrorists our most brutal enemy

The Associated Press

CARLISLE, Pa. (AP) - The al-Qaida terrorist network and affiliated Islamic extremists represent one of the most brutal enemies the United States has ever seen, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Monday.

Speaking to an audience of Army War College students and faculty, Rumsfeld cited several examples of vicious terrorist assaults, including the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, and warned that unless the terrorists are stopped they will continue to seek the means to launch even deadlier attacks on the West in the years ahead.

"The enemy we face may be the most brutal in our history," Rumsfeld said. "They currently lack only the means - not the desire - to kill, murder millions of innocent people with weapons vastly more powerful than boarding passes and box cutters," he added, referring to the terrorists who hijacked the airliners on Sept. 11.

It was Rumsfeld's first visit to the war college in his more than five years as secretary of defense.

1. Yes, it's YOU, Rummy and...

...bu$hit and Cheney. You - the REAL Axis of Evil - are most definitely the most BRUTAL in our history.

[Greeby]

2. I thought Rummy's enemies

Were garlic, sunlight and mirrors ;)

[northzax]

3. right. we beat imperial Japan

we beat Nazi Germany, we outlasted Communist USSR, but a couple of extremists hanging out in mountain caves? that shit's too fucking hard.

[Just Me]

7. ROTFLMAO!!!

:rofl:

Now, THAT'S perspective!!!

:rofl:

[Inland]

13. Because they WANT worse for us.

Hitler had armies, Tojo had armies, they both committed genocide, but golly, gee, the guys in caves would do worse. If they had an army. They don't, but they would, so they are a greater enemy. Get it now? Me neigher.

[madmark]

15. Exfuckingactly.

[Fleshdancer]

16. THANK-YOU for saying what needs to be said

I'm not going to live in fear of cave dwelling extremists. Quite frankly, if I have to fear for my life, I'm going to do it on the road when yet another Hummer a**hole is tailgating me on the highway. My odds of getting killed by my fellow Americans are far greater than getting bombed by a small group of people living on the other side of the planet.

17. Zing!!!!

[malaise]

24. How dumb is the Rethug base if

they buy this? Clearly no one else will buy this fuckery.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

4. I believe him.

Donald "The Torture Enabler" Rumsfeld would know ALL ABOUT brutality. I suppose I trust him on this issue.

[rodeodance]

5. then enlist Rummy.

[Just Me]

6. EW! I get the willies every time I see that face.

He LOOKS like a damned demon, for crying out loud! :scared:

[MadHound]

8. This is what happens after too much meth kids,

You start looking like the Crypt Keeper, and you become very, very paranoid.

So please, remember that speed kills and just say no.

9. The next one always has to be more brutal than the last one.

Otherwise, how would the pentagon justify it's existence?

[TomInTib]

10. "to kill, murder millions of innocent people "

He has surely lost whatever was left of his mind.

[SammyWinstonJack]

11. Looking in the mirror while saying that, is he? nt

[Ganja Ninja]

12. If they are so brutal and terrifying why did you waste our time ..

and money going after the oil in Iraq?

We have met the enemy and he is you guys. Bin Laden would probably dead or in custody if it weren't for the Bush crime family's greed.

[FloridaPat]

14. Too bad the repub presidents Reagan & Bush created al Qaeda.

The world sure would be better off without al Qaeda. And the repubs.

[Crunchy Frog]

18. Of course, a Nazi like him

can't be expected to regard his fellow Nazis as having been particularly brutal.

[Ufomammut]

19. It's true: the terrorists in Washington DC are indeed a most brutal enemy

[Javaman]

20. Call me crazy but considering the nazi's killed over 11 million

based on their race alone, I would say that they win the prize for the most brutal evil fucks in history. But like I said, call me crazy.

Oh one more thing, RUMSPUKE, SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU LOSER NO ACCOUNT WANNA-BE SENILE OLD MOTHER FUCKER. :)

I feel better now, but not as good as if I saw moron* and his room full of dopes being tried as war criminals. But hey, I have to take what I can get.

[Initech]

21. No Rummy, you, you chickenshit, are our biggest enemy

You and you Bush and Rice... you three are the biggest danger to our country, our civil liberties, and our personal freedoms than anything on this planet. Fuck you.

[Tsiyu]

22. The enemy we face is YOU, Rummy, you asswipe!

And you're right, Rummy. You and the rest of the Neocons are some brutal fuckers.

Just ask the prisoners at Abu Ghraib.
