Anyone put any thought to this question: Where's Rummy?

[Wiley50]

Back in the Nixon years he was Cheney's mentor

Thoughout this nightmere it was Rummy who was really calling the shots

Remember these guys use multiple cut outs

So in 06 the Dems took congress

and demanded an end to the war

So instead we got a Surge

but got Rummy to slip behind the curtain as a consolation prize

Anyone ever wonder what that sub-human monster has been doing back there?

I wonder.

and funny thing, I can't find squat

Funny huh?

1. Good question, I'd like to know too.

[SmileyRose]

11. Wiki says he's teaching at Stanford.

I don't think he'll be hanging out in France any time soon. :)

13. Wouldn't be the first BJ the Hoover Inst has given us

"n September 2007, Rumsfeld received a one year appointment as a fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University,<74> joining (among others) retired Army Gen. John P. Abizaid, former commander of US forces in Iraq, and fellow conservatives George Shultz and Newt Gingrich. He will participate in the institution's new task force studying post-September 11 ideology and non-state terror."

I've got a real problem with that word "ideology"

at least when it is theirs

3. Preparing his escape before the shit hits the fan, probably.

[Wiley50]

5. Not a chance

He's the most senior Neocon

That slimy M'F is still calling shots

He's just gone underground

[Hydra]

4. Funny you should ask

I think Rummy still has an office at the Pentagon. He's probably helping plan the Iran attack.

[Wiley50]

6. BINGO! Give that man a Kewpie Doll!

He's not dead until we drive a stake through his heart

[Hydra]

18. All of Cheney's people have been dragged though the mud

But I bet they're still invited to the VP's office every week for their strategic meetings.

Btw, thanks for the Kewpie doll!

[Amonester]

7. Is rumsferatu still pulling strings at the Pentagon?

I saw DU posts last year about a "secret" office in there.

(to "harass" Fallon until he called it quits??)

[proud2BlibKansan]

8. He refused to endorse McCain

There was an article posted the other day.

[Wiley50]

12. Did he now....?

Maybe he knows something we don't?

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. I doubt we would agree with him on many other issues

LOL

[Wiley50]

Maybe in his mind the situation is moot

I'm still not convinced this will be over on 1/20/09

But even if it is

Obama is gonna have to prove himself by his actions

Right now we are dealing with traitors in both parties

Remember the Gang of Eight is too complicit

to do the right thing now

[defendandprotect]

9. I think I read that he hung around the Pentagon a long time after leaving . . ..

who knows what's going on --- a close knit group!

Maybe he's counting his bird flu money?

[Earth_First]

10. I heard he has a futon in "Storage Closet 21-B" at the Pentagon. n/t

[Gabi Hayes]

15. actually, he's looking for work:

[Wiley50]

16. Aw Gee! Poor Guy! I couldn't be more moved

if I had taken an overdose of Exlax 12 hours ago

somebody run that vagrant in

17. Planning Oil War II: South America...

"The Smart Way to Beat Tyrants Like Chávez," by Donald Rumsfeld, 12/1/07
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/30/AR2007113001800.html

In para 1, he shows that he is watching a certain event very closely (the hostage release situation in Colombia), and, from internal evidence in that para, I gather that he was orchestrating a plot to lure Hugo Chavez into negotiating with the FARC guerrilla rebels over hostage releases. The plan was to hand Chavez a diplomatic disaster, with dead hostages. The Bushite tool, Alvaro Uribe, president of Colombia, asked Chavez to engage the FARC in these negotiations, then, when Chavez was successful, and the first two hostage releases had been arranged, Uribe suddenly withdrew his support for the negotiation, and the Colombian military bombed the location of the two hostages, as they were in route to their freedom, driving them back into the jungle. This occurred on the same weekend as Rumsfeld's op-ed, 12/1/07. In para 1, Rumsfeld says that Chavez's help getting hostages released was "not welcome in Colombia," though it had been days before. Chavez got those hostages out a few weeks later, by a different route--and got a total of 6 hostages released, at which point, Colombia/U.S. forces bombed the location of the chief FARC hostage negotiator, blowing him (Raul Reyes) and 24 of other people away. Uribe then claimed to have retrieved the FARC hostage negotiator's laptop computer, and started leaking what he claimed was "evidence" in it that Chavez was somehow supporting the FARC. (Chavez, of course, had had a series of contacts with FARC at Colombia's request!)

The whole thing smells of Rumsfeld--as do the recent plots in Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia, for the oil rich provinces of those countries to secede from the national (leftist) governments, and create fascist-run mini-states that will turn control of the oil back over to Exxon Mobil & co. Venezuela and Ecuador control some of the biggest oil reserves in the western hemisphere, are both members of OPEC, and have governments that believe in using the oil profits to help the poor. Bolivia's Bush-supported secessionist movement is the most advanced--it is in progress--and involves gas and oil reserves and a white racist oligarchy that has already conducted an illegal election basically declaring their independence. Further down the WaPo op-ed, Rumsfeld urges "swift action" by the U.S. in support of "friends and allies" in South America. I think he's talking the secessionists in these three countries.

The Bushites have reconstituted the 4th Fleet (nuclear fleet) which will be roaming the coast of Venezuela by mid-summer. This coastal area is the state of Zulia, where most of Venezuela's oil is, and is the Venezueulan state with the fascist plot to secede.

Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia will not let this happen without a fight, which could involve the whole continent in turmoil and war. All the new leftist government in South America (in addition to Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia, there are Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, Nicaragua and Paraguay) will back the Bolivarian democracies (Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia). Colombia (adjacent to the state of Zulia--and larded with $5.5 BILLION in Bush/U.S. military aid)--a country where they chainsaw union leaders and throw their body parts into mass graves, and have slaughtered thousands of union leaders, small peasant farmers, political leftists, human rights workers and journalists--will side with the Bushites, of course, and have already been involved in plots against Venezuela, including an assassination plot against Chavez.

Things are not going well for the Bushites in South America, to say the least. Paraguay just elected its first leftist president after 60 years of rightwing rule. The new president wants the U.S. military out of his country, as does the president of Ecuador.

I expect trouble before our November election. In fact, I think this may be the "October Surprise," not Iran.
