Rumsfeld 'is inspired by God'

Rumsfeld 'is inspired by God'

Miami - The top US general on Thursday defended the leadership of defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld, saying it is inspired by God.

"He leads in a way that the good Lord tells him is best for our country," said marine General Peter Pace, chair of the joint chiefs of staff.

Rumsfeld is "a man whose patriotism focus, energy, drive, is exceeded by no one else I know ... quite simply, he works harder than anybody else in our building", Pace said at a ceremony in Miami.

...

"He comes to work every day with a single-minded focus to make this country safe," said Stavridis, who was a senior aide to Rumsfeld before taking on the Southcom job.

7. Even the Generals are delusional now
A military that rejects reality is a bad thing.

Is Rummy really telling his generals that God is speaking to him? :scared:

19. Remember Rummy and his minions purged the Generals
who had an ounce of integrity as soon as the old coot set foot in The Pentagon. He should be called "General Peter Pan" because he's living in Fantasyland. :grr:

You'd have to be to order men to their deaths.

16. He doesn't know God, he might be inspired by his religion, but
he doesn't know God. He obviously knows the ridiculous concept of hell. The ultimate torture chamber. He is inspired to create a hell in Iraq. He is a fucking nazi.

27. because they don't know God...
God will never deny man his free will. You are free to believe in God or not to. You are free to hate or not hate. You are free to create war or not. All of the atrocities on earth have nothing to do with God. They are the result of man's free will.

We are all free to love or hate the God of our understanding.

or our military could well be totally devastated a year from now.

41. After reading Woodward's book, it's clear Rumsfeld is the root
of the problem when it comes to the war. The buck might stop at Shrub (although Shrub is basically a mushroom kept in the dark), but it's Rummy's ego and bad judgement that created the mess in Iraq. As for Pace . . . he should be ashamed.

No wonder Rummie likes him so much.

46. When you consider how Rummy has misused
the military to illegally invade and occupy a sovereign nation, torture prisoners, and kill civilians - Pace looks like he's been hooked up to the intravenous kool aid machine. Either Rummy has photos of him in a compromising position with a goat or he's (as my dad would say) off his nut. Either way not a good thing.

He has sold his soul as well as his honor to be Dumsfeld's snivveling apprentice.
