*****Pfffftttttt

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, in an interview to air Wednesday on Fox News Radio's "The Tony Snow Show," tried to equate Durbin's comment with actress Jane Fonda calling U.S. soldiers war criminals during a visit to North Vietnam in 1972.

"Some people always in their lives say something they wish they hadn't said," Rumsfeld said. "We just watched Jane Fonda run around trying to recover from the things she did and said during the Vietnam War. ... He said some things and he's going to have to live with them, and I think that that's not a happy prospect."

[whistle]

1. Right, and Donald Rumsfeld is like the Piss-boy!

[ComerPerro]

2. Sorta like "Saddam Hussein must disarm"

[Todd B]

10. More like:

I was thinking more like "We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat".

;)

[ComerPerro]

15. Yeah, that too.

[Kikosexy2]

3. Well...

Rummy has done some nasty ass shit that he's gonna live with it right to his grave...f*#king Nazi dumb-ass!

[ixion]

4. so, will Rummy apologize now?

I mean, he accused Durbin of something diragatory, so will the media hound him to apologize?

[Kurovski]

5. That's right , Don...

Who WOULD have thought there were "so many vases in Iraq"?

[zoeb]

6. What do you expect from a guy still looking WMDs around

Baghdad.:crazy:

[Jack Rabbit]

7. It's deperation time for the neocons

When in doubt, call dissenters and truthtellers traitors.

[babylonsister]

8. Boy, this collective scum are sure getting the most

mileage out of Durbin's (accurate) remarks. :eyes: Why the Dems don't just pound them about Iraq and the DSM is beyond me.

[BurtWorm]

9. How does someone like Rumsfeld live with himself?

Without a conscience. It's obvious.

[Xipe Totec]

11. You go with the Sound bite you get from Rove...

...not the one you wish you got.


"He said some things and he's going to have to live with them, and I think that that's not a happy prospect."

Yea Rummy, you speak from experience...

[indepat]

12. Hmmm! Wonder who Rumsfeld should be compared to?

[Crunchy Frog]

13. So I guess the appeasement tactic didn't work after all.

When are Democrats going to learn not to apologize, in the current political climate?

[EC]

14. Must be the talking point for this because Rush said the same.. n/t

[xray s]

16. I would like to equate Rumsfeld with Saddam's killing machine

Photo evidence

[Stirk]

17. Hmm... so if Fonda is the Vietnam-era Durbin... the Rumsfeld must be...

... the Vietnam-era Rumsfeld.

Oh my! Something wrong here.

[Disturbed]

20. War Criminals hate it when the truth seeps out..

Rumsfailed Admitted to Violating Geneva Convention

Rumsfailed admitted in public on TV that when CIA Director Tenet requested that an Iraqi prisoner be sent to a secret Afghan/US Prison that Rumsfailed did so. After four months a DOD Attorney stated that this was an illegal act. Rumsfailed then ordered that this prisoner be sent back to Abu Graihib but the prisoner was purposefully not listed at that location, also an illegal act. Rumsfeld also admitted to signing orders for tougher interogation methods which violated the Geneva Conventions.

Rumfailed has commited at least three violations of the Geneva Convention thereby also violations of The Constitution of the USA. Recently it has been found out that even more detainees were "ghost detainees". The fact that Rumsfailed and Tenet have not been charged speaks volumes. If Congress wishes to garner any respect they should move forward with Rep. Rangle's Impeachment Declaration of Rumsfailed and also proscecute Ex. CIA Tenet.

18. This is the same Rumsfeld who shook Saddam's hand, right?

Just checking. Yeah, he's a fucking expert on this subject.

[SmokingJacket]

19. Sounds like the apology didn't take.

Should have stuck to his guns, IMHO.

[DemBeans]

21. that's exactly right

Durbin's apology was pointless because the Republicans won't ever accept it - they'll use this issue again and again to distract from their own criminal misdeeds abroad and their disasterous policies at home.

They won't let up on him one bit, so why apologize? He only spoke the truth, anyway.

[JanMichael]

22. I'd sure as shit rather be compared to Jane than Adolph.

What an asshole.

[Frederik]

23. I equate Rumsfeld with Himmler
