Rumsfeld: U.S. Struggles to Combat Anti-American Propaganda

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said today the United States military has not figured out how to combat anti-American propaganda by Iraqi militants, including a widely reported claim that a Sunday attack by U.S. and Iraqi special forces targeted innocent Shiite Muslims praying in a mosque.

The raid, which killed 16 followers of the Shiite Muslim cleric Moqtada al-Sadr--an outspoken opponent of the U.S. presence in Iraq--targeted a terrorist cell responsible for attacks on soldiers and civilians, U.S. military officials say. But a false claim by Sadr's aides that a mosque was targeted received widespread attention, Rumsfeld said.

"Clearly, the United States government has not gotten to the point where we are as deft and clever and facile as the enemy that is perfectly capable of lying, having it printed all over the world, and there's no penalty for having lied"

1. No penalty - other than loss of the support and respect of the rest of

the world.

2. Dear rummy; do ya WANT there to be a penalty for having lied???

Say "yes".

Dare ya.

3. Don Rumsfailed is going through

a complete mental breakdown. He's desperately trying to figure out what went wrong with his Grand Plans for World Domination.

Iraq was only Bus stop#1, for God'd sake. They've just barely gotten started.

I fully expect to see Rumsfailed go through a nervous breakdown, right on TV for all to see. I'm not joking about this. The man is coming apart. Look at recent photos of him.
