"How can I miss you if you won't go away?" Rumsfeld is in IRAQ!

[Bluebear]

"Saying goodbye to the troops."

Oh, now I am wondering, I DO hope he remembered to take the piece of the jet that crashed into the Pentagon that he took as a souvenir... ("The Justice Department investigation that criticized FBI agents for taking souvenirs from the World Trade Center site also found that Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and a high-ranking FBI official kept items from the Sept. 11 attack scenes.")

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Outgoing Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld made a secret farewell trip to Iraq, ABC News reported on Saturday.

Rumsfeld's trip, his 13th unannounced visit to the country, came one day after he gave a farewell address at the Pentagon and nine days before he is replaced by Robert Gates. CNN also confirmed the Iraq visit..."

Not much detail. I wonder how it went? Was he greeted with parades and flowers?

9. Wow, he looks like he could be Rumsfeld's son!

Of course, that would be impossible.

7. Thought he'd mosey around the Green Zone . . .

. . . for some Christmas shopping.

What a strange, strange lot these neo-con fuck-ups are . . .

:crazy:

8. Please stay there, Rummy:

I would have liked to see the prick stand trial, but having him live out his days in the hell he created would be an excellent form of justice as well.
