Problem solved?
On Some Sociopathic Democratic Congressman Taking to the Floor of the House
and Literally Bragging to the American People that His Party (Which Was
Soundly Defeated In the Election) Will Put Together a Shadow Government (He
Actually Used Those Chilling Words) and Manage the Country as THEY See Fit

It appears that we don't just have election denial going on here but a
spate of treason as well. Wonder how the corporate press will react. Not.

As you know, you go to war with the president you have, not the president you might want or wish to have at a later time.
ReplyDeleteJust peeling off the skins of the onion until the complete Wehrmacht is disassembled. Field Marshal von Rumsfeld has been a part of it, No?
ReplyDeleteBush was funny - at least he was intending it to be funny - when he said,
"Some people say I have a swagger. In Texas, they call that 'walking'."
Well, gone is the swaggering. Now he's staggering.
I thought he walked like he had a stick up his ass , because he had bad knees.
ReplyDeleteHerr Rumsfeld, the stategic genius, and his "stick up in his ass" catwalk strut, like just about everything in this sorry mess, came a year or two too late to make any real difference. Now this one trick pony president is facing the curtains that are closing on him. Before they do, he still has time to go down with a blaze and glory. A blaze will be the Middle East burning and a glory the thousands whom still haven't met their maker.
ReplyDeleteHell no I'm not satisfied on several levels. But I really have a hangover so I'll pick just one. Despite hundred dollar hammers and seven hundred dollar toilet seats the men and women in the US military go about daily trying to organize and run an organization whose purpose it is to defend the US from those that want to hurt us. To do so you have to have hard facts and know the truth. Many millions are suppose to be spent on digging for the truth to separate fact from fiction. More than reputations are at stake here if the military or the intelligence spooks put out bad info. Since we were feed a line of crap as far as the danger Saddam and his WMD's were concerned and the truth had come out about it. What happens now if info does become known about a real threat to the country? I know it just wasn't Rummy but the damage done so the Ferret could have his war to show up daddy could put us all in danger in the future. I won't be happy until Rummy is answering questions in front of the Democratic controlled congress.
ReplyDeleteDear Lord my head is killing me, I'm not going to anymore Christmas parties.
Well, I'm not sad to see Rummy go. I have this odd feeling, though, that there's now a hole in the former Cheney-Bush-Rummy triumverate that won't get filled by Gates.
ReplyDeleteIn a way, that's even more frightening, because what I see happening - we see it already in the reaction to the ISG report - is where there were three legs to the barstool, there are now two, desperately trying to regain balance and not wanting to let anyone else into the power circle lest the illusion of the Bushworld be swept away.
So now, Bush & Cheney withdraw into a defensive crouch, can't bear to deliver any bad news during the holidays so they punt any decision on Iraq until after Jan 1. Each week and month the situation worsens and they do this?! And, if press reports are to be believed, they want to propose sending yet more troops.
So, the departure of Rumsfeld may not be a pancea, and in fact may be the beginning of a self destructive vortex.
But, maybe Gates will come in and fix all of it.... Chances, anyone?
Guys, I've already said enough about my high esteem for Rumsfeld and you can gauge how much I'm going to miss him. I actually have more to say, but I can't summon the inspiration at the moment. As of Monday, he's history. But I can't just leave him for the historians; hafta have at least one more whack at him.
ReplyDeleteRumsfeld is just one member of the Bush war cabinet. His "resignation" will have little impact on the war in Iraq. The Bush doctrine lives on until January 2009.
ReplyDeleteThat is, madmike, unless The Decider decides he can't quit in January 2009 because the country still needs him.
ReplyDeleteGood one, LittleBill!
ReplyDeleteRummy's gone! Next Up?
ReplyDeleteElliot Abrams Must Go!
The people you mention are only establishment flunky`s. The special interests are the one`s that run things.
ReplyDeleteThis site is extremely ignorant in their political musings.
You don`t even understand the basic issues of how our government actually works.
