1. THANK YOU PATTON

[47of74]

2. Awesome

Donny deserves our deepest contempt for his part in the Iraq war.

[JHB]

3. Rummy translated:

"10 years ago began the half-assed neoconservative joyride that I and the administration I was part of lied, arm-twisted, obfuscated, threatened, bribed, and cajoled enough of the right people that we could go ahead with. We salute all of our servicemen and women who died or were wounded in our effort to indulge our sunshine-and-lollipops vision of remaking the Middle East. And mercy!, who ever said anything about WMDs?

[NoMoreWarNow]

4. His "element" should be jail-- he's a bloody war criminal

[Canuckistanian]

5. You have no frame of reference here, Donny

[MannyGoldstein]

6. Other than being a Republican, Rumsfeld is

qualified to be Secretary of State. Actually, even as a Republican, he's qualified to be Secretary of "Defense".

[UnrepentantLiberal]

7. The Pentagon doesn't thank Rumsfeld.

They ran him out of Washington.

[The Wizard]

8. Like the rest of the

Bush cartel, Rummy is a war profiteer from a war of aggression he promoted. Thus, he and the rest of the cartel are war criminals. Blindfolds and cigarettes are in order.

9. So that's why we went to war.

I wonder - do these assholes believe in their own bullshit? I mean, what else would he say?

"11 yrs ago began the long, difficult work of lying to the American people so we could start a war to create a free market utopia in the Middle East per our NeoCon dreams."

[deutsey]

11. Bush, Cheney, and other criminals have all said they'd do it again

Pretty much what you'd expect from people whose souls were lost long, long ago...and now they've gained the world.

Lucky them.

10. "it tied the room together" n/t

[Arkana]

12. Of all people, Patton Oswalt has to be the guy to tell Rummy to STFU?

[deutsey]

14. Well, kudos to him for being the one to say it

[Paladin]

13. I Hope Somebody Else Caught Last Night's "Justified"....

....in which Constable Bob (beautifully played by Patton Oswalt), after getting viciously beaten by a mob hit-man, manages to terminate said hit-man with extreme prejudice. Take-away line afterward: "People underestimate Bobby at their peril." Don't underestimate Patton Oswalt, Rummy.....

[RainDog]

19. Justified was GREAT last night

Constable Bob was a hero.

The back and forth between Tim and Colt was just brilliant.

I don't watch many things on TV. Justified is must see. So well done.

I was so happy to see Patton on there - he's done a great job.

15. Revisionism... Saddam has become the WMD

[RagAss]

16. Classic quote from a classic film !

[Blue Owl]

17. Well done General Patton

[RainDog]

18. Constable Bob!!!!

You rocked it last night!!!!!

Drewsitania!

20. Spence takes it to Rummy.

Funny, I recently was watching the documentary "The Fog of War", which was about Robert MacNamera, the Secretary of Defense under JFK and Johnson and a key figure in the lead up to the Vietnam war. In the film, MacNamera expresses some regret for playing a part in getting us into an unnecessary war.

What is interesting is that MacNamera bore a very strong physical resemblence to Donald Rumsfeld. However, I doubt we'd ever see any type of mea culpa from Rummy, ever.

21. OT: Anyone See Patton on Justified Last Night?

He was brilliant, and he's been great all season.

[Cha]

22. No, but I saw him on a couple of

episodes of Burn Notice and it was Good TV. I like that dude.
