Rumsfeld thinks this is only the beginning, what the hell is he planning?
he told a military crowd that we are not preparing to leave iraq, but preparing to really start the plan off in earnest. he suggested that we are only beginning the 'job' in iraq, what ever the fuck that is.

while others in bushco suggest that we are winding this atrocity down, rummys says it's only just getting cranked up. as if we have no say in it whatsover, just like the war itself.

is the plan to have troops there for fucking ever? when will we physically stop these monsters? drastic times call for drastic measures.

2. Probably planning World War 3.

Reminds me of a quote Einstein made. "I know not what World War III with be faught with, but World War IV will surely be fought with sticks and stones."

4. Einstein would naturally think that...
He invented nukes.

He was very intelligent, in many ways, but he should have left the nuke-making to somebody else.

5. You can't blame Einstein for nukes
He was not part of the Manhatten Project which built the Bomb.

10. True...
I was going to originally say something else as a response, but given how often humanity prefers what it often says is horrible... I won't be terrified the day somebody nukes this planet into a gigantic radioactive mushroom.

3. It's all going according to the plan, and Iraq is only the start.
Juan Cole recommended Joshua Landis' Syria blog.
I read on his Neocons' Plans for Syria the following:
(emphasis mine)
"Richard Perle has been a leading advocate of action against Syria. He said he "hope(d)" the United States would itself take action against Damascus, particularly if it turned out that Syria was acting as a financial or recruiting base for the insurgency in Iraq." http://faculty-staff.ou.edu/L/Joshua.M.Landis-1/syriablog/2004/05/neo-con-plans-for-syria.htm

Then on the more recent entries I saw this:

"In the same vein, Bill Gertz of The Washington Times has "accepted with hardly any scrutiny" the dubious reports of unnamed sources in the Defense Department.
The Pentagon is investigating reports that Iraqi weapons are being sent covertly to Syria and that they are fueling anti-U.S. insurgents training there, The Washington Times has learned. The shipments include weapons and explosives sent by vehicles that were detected during the past several months going to several training camps inside Syria, which has become a key backer of anticoalition forces in Iraq, according to defense officials familiar with reports of the shipments." http://faculty-staff.ou.edu/L/Joshua.M.Landis-1/syriablog/2004/05/more-dubious-def-dept-allegations.htm

We have to flush everyone of these guys out of power. They've insinuated themselves like cockroaches in every crack and crevice through PNAC offshoot "organizations" and "committees".

7. Syria bombardment?
I strongly suspect that BushCo is itching to get that
started. Maybe they will do so in July after they declare "Mission Really Accomplished" in Iraq. Of course, that will be a total lie but hey, lying is what they are best at.

6. This is Rumsfailed S.O.P. and he's a blowhard gasbag
A civilian talking tough to the military. "Yeah, gentlemen, we're going to make sure as many of you are killed as possible before we call it quits."

Quagmire. Quicksand. Good money after bad. Vietnam redux. STFU, Rumsfailed, you make me sick.

11. PNAC....Iraq was the first step.
The axis of evil....remember? This will never stop as long as these warmongers are in control of our government. I think Iraq is needed as a base so they can attack Iran and Syria. Syria was just in the news the other day. Supposedly, Al Qaeda are getting arms and training in Syria. :eyes: That's what the cabal wants the world to think anyway. That story was released last week and I'm sure it's just going to be used as an excuse to attack them. We have to get these animals out of office. We HAVE to.
