Lemme Get This Straight, re: Rummy

[Jacobin]

It is now obvious to everyone that Rummy and his neo-con pals LIED to get the invasion of Iraq started on every single reason they used and LIED about the number of troops, cost ($2 billion), time it would take (weeks not months), and LIED about the reception the invading forces would receive.

And his response to congress is: "We won't leave and we won't set a timetable." In essence, we tricked you into this war and now you have to pay for it with the money and blood of americans and there is nothing you can do about it?

Unless Congress gets a backbone and the opposition party starts opposing, then Congress is simply irrelevant.

They might as well just shut it down and spare us the tearful apologies, wrangling over name calling, quoting from the bible and terrorizing of gays.

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."

I like that it and it fits him perfectly.

The silly condescending neo-con warlord needs to be knocked off his horse.
