Rummy visits the scene of the crime
On his way out the door, Don Rumsfeld visited the troops in Iraq one last time to give them an "attaboy" and say goodbye. Having disposed of proper planning and execution in this greatest disaster of American foreign policy, Rummy just had to go and tell the troops one last lie as if this would earn their forgiveness.
And so more people will die, day after day, until only God knows when.
The outgoing secretary of defense, Donald H. Rumsfeld, paid a surprise visit to Iraq this weekend and said American troops should stay in the country until the insurgents were defeated.The military is already suffering the consequences of failure, what Rummy was talking about was the hit that his reputation and ego would take if he or Our Dear Incompetent Leader or Crazy Dick were to admit that their Glorious Little War was anything other than a success that needed one last push to go over the top.
“We feel great urgency to protect the American people from another 9/11 or a 9/11 times two or three,” Mr. Rumsfeld said on Saturday, in remarks that were posted on the Defense Department’s Web site, in the Anbar province west of Baghdad.
“At the same time, we need to have the patience to see this task through to success,” he said. “The consequences of failure are unacceptable.”
And so more people will die, day after day, until only God knows when.
