Mannerisms seem consistent of someone on amphetamine's. Seems an unnatural & uncomfortable mannerism otherwise. Plus his past history of using cocaine.

That guy wrote that Bush was afraid of bin Laden flying an airplane into his hotel in Genoa, he stayed aboard a U.S. destroyer anchored in the bay. Then he (air quote) killed himself (end air quote) in July 2001.

but when I later discovered that Rummy was/is the CEO of a big pharma operation it quickly occurred to me that he was getting some of the best clean pharma grade "stuff" whenever he wanted it. I can also imagine that he was pretty drugged up for the majority of his entire pretend presidency that we're still suffering the consequences of. Kept him off the sauce for the most of it.

Like a fucking tweaker. But I don't think he was on coke, they had him all pilled up.

Question: So do you use sleeping tablets to organize yourself?

Secretary Powell: Yes. Well, I wouldn’t call them that. They’re a wonderful medication — not medication. How would you call it? They’re called ambien, which is very good. You don’t use ambien? Everybody here uses ambien.

I mean, this was a man who was willing to send thousands of young men to their deaths, in a highly illegal war. Why not engage in other activities deemed illegal in this country? It would certainly explain his great difficulty in coming up with a coherent thought.

FAKE WAR.

But, perhaps, he was so disengaged and out-of-the-loop that he had nothing to do with it, really. Maybe even he figured out that the neocons took him somewhere based on a pile of bullshit (which Colin Powell now has disassociated himself from even though he was prime)....and medicated himself to forget about it ? That's what I think and I have let go of all the hatred I had for him. It is firmly placed on Cheney
