Has Donald Rumsfeld ever been right

[KarenInMA]

You guys see that fed-ex commercial?

"The Iraqi's will great us a liberators".

"The oil will pay for the war"

"Saddam has WMD's"

"Major combat operations are over"

"It's hard to imagine a scenario where there are more casualties after the fall of Baghdad.."

If the guy that worked at Burger King kept giving out chicken sandwiches when people asked for Whoppers, he'd be fired by now.

What's the deal w/ Rummy?

1. Sex symbols don't have to be right. Gag -- remember when the mags were

pushing him as sex symbol?

[KarenInMA]

7. Umm..no?

Rummy? As a sex symbol? Maybe when compared to Cheney, but not in the real world...

11. Here's a snip and a link from a Nation Review Article.....from 2003

http://www.nationalreview.com/interrogatory/decter200310300716.asp

snip.....

Lopez: What do the secretary and his wife make of his "Rumstud" status?

Decter: His wife, Joyce, and his children mainly seem to be amused by the "Rumstud" phenomenon. As for the secretary's feeling about it, how could he (or any man) be as indifferent to it as he often pretended to be?

Lopez: What does it say about our culture today — and about American women (of all ages!) that Rumsfeld's become a sex symbol?

Decter: What Rumsfeld's having become an American sex symbol seems to say about American culture today is that the assault on men leveled by the women's movement, having poisoned the normally delicate relations between men and women and thereby left a generation of younger women with a load of anxiety they are only now beginning to throw off, is happily almost over. It's hard to overestimate the significance of the term "stud" being applied to a man who has reached the age of 70 and will not too long from now be celebrating his 50th wedding anniversary.

2. He was right when he said "We don't know what we don't we don't know."

I loved that comment! It was a very long statement saying we have no idea what the hellis going on!

[Botany]

3. Yes, right @ the bottom of this letter in 1998 asking for a war w/ Iraq

http://www.newamericancentury.org/iraqclintonletter.htm


he & cheney are the ones behind the Iraq war and using 9/11 as an
excuse. Check out the Oct 2000 PNAC document where they "ask for"
a "new Pearl Harbor"

4. In the Bush II administration, being right gets you invited to spend

time with your family.

Only spectacular failure and massive misinformation gets you rewarded.

[caligirl]

5. No! and Bush is too STUPID to know it. Hence he

supposedly refused R's resignation. :banghead:

[FloridaPat]

6. This is the * administration - if you wrong you get promoted, if you're

right you get fired. If you leak things that are bad for * you get fired. If you leak things that are bad for others you keep your job. Right is wrong and wrong is right.

8. Right enough

to continuously find himself in seats of power, with millions in the bank.

[indepat]

9. Maybe Rummy is the right man to do the right's job

[punpirate]

10. He's a true neo-conservative to the core...

... he believes in the concept of the so-called "noble lie." He's not stupid, but he is a pathological liar, as are all the neo-cons. These people wouldn't know the truth if it bit `em on the ass.

[BrotherBuzz]

12. He was right about draftees when he said...

"the draftee added "no value, no advantage, really, to the United States armed services over any sustained period of time."

Hey, this dumb draftee was delusional when I thought I was contributing something when my nation called for my help. I'm sooo glad Rummy set me straight...

[craigolemiss]

13. I think this is right...

The syntax at least contains internal consistency---

"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."

14. Newspeak is reverse, nt

[Independent_Liberal]

15. He was right when he slipped up and said...

...that the plane was shot down in Pennsylvania.
