I have a question
BBC headline.


Rumsfeld: US not losing Iraq war
US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld
Rumsfeld defended the administration's policies in Iraq
Donald Rumsfeld has said the US is not losing the Iraq war and it would be a mistake to set a timetable for American troops to leave the country.

My question is, I thought Bush* said the war was over when he played fighter jock on the air craft carrier.

But now his Sec. of Defense says we are not losing the war Today June 23, 2005.

SO what gives?

:shrug:

Oh that is right Bush* is just a liar.

1. Rumsfeld himself said
that the war wouldn't last days or weeks; probably months, but not years. He's forgotten that statement.

I wish these clowns had the chuzpah to stand up in front of a group of Iraqi vets now in peace groups and make these claims-how long before they'd be booed off the stage?

6. This is what Rumsfucker said

666

Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld on Feb. 7, 2003 said, "It is unknowable how long that conflict will last. It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months."

"Operation Iraqi Freedom was carried out with a combination of precision, speed and boldness the enemy did not expect," President Bush said Thursday night.


ABOARD USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN (CNN) -- From the flight deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln, President Bush announced in a nationally televised address that "major combat operations in Iraq have ended."

I mean when Major combat ended in WW2, people stopped killing each other, on purpose. Same with WW1, the Korean War, Vietnam, Grenada, The Faulken Island, and the Civil War.

3. So what you are implying here is..........
Edited on Thu Jun-23-05 06:48 PM by johnnie
The administration is saying one thing, and then saying something else? Like they are lying or something? I am gonna have to let this soak in before I make a comment. It just doesn't seem like them at all.


On edit: :sarcasm:
