Rummy shoots his mouth off

[LuckyTheDog]

Sorry, but when Defense Secretaries start making foreign policy pronoucements like this, it's bad news. Rummy is not a diplomat. He has no business commenting on things like this. China is likely to see this as an implied threat, given the source and the general tone of Bush's foreign policy:

Am I wrong, or is this likely to be a big serving of red meat for the hawks in China's government?

2. I wish this guy would pull his head out of his ass once in awhile...

5. Why Rummy, you devil you...

using sexy new abbreviations really turns on the BushCo crowd...

"From a mil-to-mil (military-to-military) standpoint, it has improved and strengthened every year," Rumsfeld said.

"mil-to-mil" will sweep the nation!! Which corporate news whore will be the first to pick up on it?

Just how in the world can we compete with THAT kind of cleverness? I mean, just think of the GRAVITAS...

6. Beggars can't be choosy... (US indebted to China)

Field Marshall Von Rumsfeld's remarks about China are nothing more than red-meat for the stupid morons of the lunatic rightwing base in the US.

The US economy is largely subsidized by Chinese sweatshops producing goods for Wal-Mart and by the Chinese COMMUNIST government buying US debt.

Corporate America loves authoritarian regimes that they can do business with. Whether they be COMMUNIST or FASCIST.

What the fools on the right don't realize is that those in power have no respect for their own base. Knowing that they are as stupid as the day is long.

Just wave the flag and their brains' analyzing skills (if they ever had any) shuts down.

7. Maybe this is their way of dealing with the trade deficit?

China OWNS your ass, Mr. Rumsfeld.

9. Same genius who told the press gaggle on 9/12

"You know, there is no way to stop terrorism."

10. He and Cheney are at the very top of the level of public face operatives.

The invisible level is the entire realm of people who don't appear on tv...all those policy plotters from the acronym foundations, the think tankers, the representatives from banking and corporations, all the Councils, the religious, and most especially, the Fed Society....they are the policy makers along with their counterparts in England and Israel. They are mostly faceless.

At another invisible level are the corporations who agree to sanitize the news and brainwash us.

At still another level are the thousands who are in every civic kind of job from Governor to schoolboard to government office.

The only level we concern ourselves about in these discussions all have faces. Cheney and Rumsfeld are the two top face operatives. If they are as mad as we see them, we are in deep trouble because of the invisible troups who put these crazed people out there.

11. What YOU said, Higher class!

A serious dose of truth for the "reality-based" among us!
