1. Ass. nt

[Mike Daniels]

19. Notice that he says it was about liberating the Iraqis

They need to change the rational for the invasion since there was no justification based on the first reason.

I wonder how many people who have voted or supported going to war over the liberation of Iraq. Not too many I suppose.


I can imagine that there won't be too many valedictory-style obituaries outside of WND and The Daily Caller when bungholes like Rumsfeld and Cheney shuffle off the mortal coil.

2. When Republicans lie this blatantly, I just want to hurl

[Ash_F]

3. "Those were the Halcyon days" he thought. /nt

[Botany]

4. one of the liars who helped to start the war

"...the area in the south and the west and the north that coalition forces control is substantial. It happens not to be the area where weapons of mass destruction were dispersed. We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat." Donald Rumsfeld - March 30 2003

13. And they fought Hagel's nomination? This doesn't even make one

bit of sense.

[HughBeaumont]

5. Eat a Dick, Rumsferatu.

Cheney, that is. Black Heart. Nixon Nugget.

[Laurian]

6. I hope he's getting some mighty blowback on Twitter. N/t

[prole_for_peace]

21. He's getting a LOT of blowback.

My two reply tweets are tame by what I saw.

So far my favorite is by Rob Delaney

.@RumsfeldOffice Except you & your bosses, you blood-gargling psychopath.

[Lint Head]

7. Rumsfeld, you lying piece of shit. You mad sure human beings deserving respect and appreciation

were murdered. There is a front row seat in Hell for ego maniacal turds like you.

[They_Live]

8. I remember him giggling over roasted babies on live TV

what a ghoul.

[deek]

9. I remember him saying

the attack would only take a matter of days, not even weeks.

(If my memory serves me correctly.)

[Gidney N Cloyd]

10. Damn, I keep forgetting this was all about liberating the Iraqis. Not WMDs. What's the matter w/ me?

[Solly Mack]

11. Can one tweet from prison?

Oh, that's right....they got away with it.

[mountain grammy]

24. Exactly, my very first thought!

[Nihil]

26. Got to look forward ...

... to new war crimes rather than back at the old ones ...

(Or something like that)

[SaveAmerica]

12. You've got to be kidding me! Heckuva job Rummy, go back in your hole

[tblue]

14. Sounds awfully defensive.

He knows most of us know the truth. He knows.

[sinkingfeeling]

15. Aren't there a few less Iraqis and Americans now to be appreciated?

[AndyA]

16. Big party at the Rumsfeld residence tonight to celebrate!

It'll be a costume party. Attendees have been encouraged to come in costume in a favorite war-related theme. Suggestions include:

- Soldiers with amputations
- One parent military families who lost their homes
- Wealthy CEOs, bankers, and executives making huge deposits into their accounts due to no-bid contracts
- Prisoners being waterboarded
- Government agents monitoring American citizens
- Weapons of mass destruction
- Right wing radio hate jock

Parking attendants will leave the engine running on guest's Hummers while the party is going on, so the interior will be comfortable when people are ready to leave.

On the food table, Buffalo Eagle Wings will be served (gotta keep it Amurican!)

Guests are encouraged to donate to their favorite charity, and representatives from the NRA, Heritage Foundation, major oil and defense corporations, and major right wing lobbyist groups will be there to accept donations.

Games will include Obama Darts, Pin the Tail on Pelosi, Hide and Seek Gentleman's Agreement with Harry Reid as the seeker, a Democratic Donkey Piñata, and Target Shooting Clay American Flags. In keeping with the all-American theme, toilet paper in powder rooms will be printed with the Constitution.

It'll just be good ole American family fun for all!

[Festivito]

30. ^I almost missed that^

Although, maybe a little sad for its truth.

[joanbarnes]

17. ..and the War Criminals deserve prosecution.

[NealK]

18. What I would love to commemorate one day would be the 10th Anniversary of Rumsfeld being in jail.

Not gonna happen.

[Evasporque]

20. Rumsferateau celebrates by chewing on the bones of the killed children....

and sharing a plate of dead bats with Dick Cheney...

[SoapBox]

22. Asshole. nt

[bullwinkle428]

23. Fuck you, war criminal.

[NYtoBush-Drop Dead]

25. His ASs should be dragged to the Hague

For war crimes. Time for Holder and Obama to go after the war criminals. The obstinate repugs won't pass a bill, pass a budget? Go after W, The Big Dick, Wolfowitz, Rice, Powell and every other scum bum from the W years... That's what the PResident should do with his next 4.

[yellowcanine]

27. What about the WMDs, Rummy?

You even gave their general location. What was that about?

[annm4peace]

28. I'm normally against Capital punishment

but i wish Rumsfield was hanged.

[Mz Pip]

29. To this day I remember him saying

"6 days, 6 weeks, 6 months," in answer to the question on how long he thought the war would last.

I suspect there were many who approved because they thought this would be quick and easy.
