Rumsfeld stealing headlines....Iraq trip is obviously political

[spanone]

There is no reason for Rumsfeld to be in Iraq other than to have a 'news cover' if bush* really blew the debates. Am I getting paranoid????

[endnote]

1. With him there they'll have to cover the bombings as well!

[Cha]

2. Of course, he's there to make it seem

like they're doing something about the killing.

6. I think Rumsfeld

should go to Baghdad and ask the Iraqis personally how they like their "freedom".

[Shoeempress]

3. Maybe that last misstatement was too much and they are trying to

kill him, after all, no one gets fired by Chimpy

4. Kerry should do a commercial that features the "handshake" n/t

5. did anyone notice that rummy had a summit....

with 18 of his counter-parts yesterday onboard the USS John F Kennedy? Didn't bush say that "a summit never solved anything" in one of the debates? Oh, by the way this also was unannounced. Are they trying to hide something or are they going to say "we've tried it already doesn't work."
