Would Someone Explain to Rumsfeld the Difference Between a Bowel Movement
and Utter Failure?

http://www.buzzflash.com/analysis/06/04/ana06021.html

--snip
Perhaps the saddest, most mournful -- but drollest -- headline we saw yesterday was this one: "Rumsfeld Says of Latest Flap, 'This Too Will Pass.'"

Message to Mr. Master of the Universe: We are not talking about a bowel movement here. We are talking about thousands upon thousands of lives lost, thousands more wounded, billions of dollars of our money spent wastefully, and a military that thinks you don't know what the Hell you are doing -- along with the blessed ignorance of Bush and Cheney.

No, Donald, this too will NOT pass. It's called incompetence, arrogance, and abysmal, utter failure.

Our second favorite headline of recent days was, "Pentagon Fights Back." Excuse us, but who is the enemy? Us?

And any current members of the military brass HAVE to speak out in support of the civilian chain of command, otherwise they will be dismissed from command or demoted. But why is Rumsfeld fighting back against Iraq combat-experienced generals? Shouldn't he be fighting whoever the enemy is in Iraq, which is just about everyone there now except the Chalabi clan?

Note, this fits in nicely with Rummy saying just before the 9-11 attack on the pentagon that the enemy is within the pentagon. IMHO no American should ever forget this!!!

3. A great article.
I enjoyed every word. Thanks.

And you know, in a sense the generals have succeeded at this point. Rumsfailed is fighting back, with everything he's got. He's appearing on TV, at this very moment. Wants to show everyone how competent he really is.

It doesn't matter at this point. Because everyone knows the war in Iraq is a complete failure. Everyone will link that failure with Rumsfailed.

"Mission accomplished"
