Rumsfeld ATTACKS Bob Woodward -- On FACEBOOK!

[Segami]

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


The long knives are starting to come out. Et tu Brute?



Taking a page from Sarah Palin, the former defense secretary strikes back after Woodward blasts his book.



" This morning Bob Woodward let loose with a fierce attack on Donald Rumsfeld's "Known and Unknown," the former defense secretary's 832-page exercise in covering his own behind. Based on his own reporting, Woodward pinpoints Rumsfeld's deceptions about his role in hustling us into war with Iraq. In a book filled with evasion and deception, Rumsfeld's effort to shed blame for the war is breathtaking. I recently watched him pretend to NBC's Andrea Mitchell that he was unfamiliar with the term "stove-pipe" -- as in the notorious term "stove-pipe intelligence," widely used to describe the way Rumsfeld's Pentagon funneled only the information that bolstered its case against Iraq to other decision-makers, and kept different intelligence players in the dark about what others were doing. (Rachel Maddow's staff later found that Rumsfeld had used the term himself.)

Rumsfeld's memoir has come in for plenty of criticism, but Woodward, a writer and Beltway player known for deference to the powerful, eviscerates it. He calls "Known and Unknown" "one big clean-up job, a brazen effort to shift blame to others -- including President Bush -- distort history, ignore the record or simply avoid discussing matters that cannot be airbrushed away. It is a travesty, and I think the rewrite job won't wash."

By mid-afternoon, Rumsfeld had replied: Not in an Op-Ed, or a statement to reporters -- but on his own Facebook page, à la Sarah Palin.

It's sad to see he's never even been charged for his crimes.

6. I believe it was on a single point.

And to think this war-mongering blockhead was our Secretary of Defense.


" Like Palin, Rumsfeld is known for holding grudges and settling scores, so it makes sense they'd both take to Facebook. But it makes them both look a little bit like vindictive high schoolers; I'd have to give this round to Woodward..."

8. Rummy can cover his ass, but can't wash the blood off his hands

Now that they are done using the troops for photo ops and power grabs - they throw the troops under the bus. And the bastids laugh all the way to the bank too.

9. Rumsfeld is a traitor.

And a war criminal. Just like Bush and Cheney.
