So why is the MMM covering the Rummy story? They would never

[Sperk]

give it this much coverage unless someone (Rove) wanted them too. They even called a manufacturer of the Humvees and they said they could produce more but were not asked? Since when does the media even make phone calls anymore?

I think someone wants Rummy out and he wont go. Maybe if the gets enough bad press, * will have to let him go? Just a thought.

1. you might be on to something there

all i saw of junior was him saying the soldier was right and they should have the best. sounds like a setup

2. george appeared to be on the military's side

if this IS rovian, they must need a fall guy about the failing war effort. this plus supporting Kofi today after the UN standing ovation.
cannot wrap my mind around what possibly motivates

6. Scapegoat. Blame all war crimes & problems on Rumsfield

in an attempt to save the rest of their asses. :spank:

3. The mainstream media along with Fox

have had Rumsfeld in its sights for a week or two now. It could be Rovian payback for the bad press BushCo got when the pentagon stopped the first 9/11 bill from being passed.

Just Rove reminding Rummy of his place.

4. Maybe this can shed some light on the question?

A latest breaking news post that talks about why Rummy is still there.

5. Some of the neocons are

turning on Rummy.

So he has to endure a little public beating.

That he handles this beating will strengthen his hand as a "loyalist" and a "tough guy".

I don't think that Rummy is going anywhere. -- The unwillingness to deal with the realities of Iraq (etc) stems from the very top.
