Now all my lies are proved untrue

And I must face the men I slew.

What tale shall serve me here among

Mine angry and defrauded young?

- Rudyard Kipling

Perhaps Secretary of Defense Don Rumsfeld, the Mr. Potter of the Pentagon, thought he could cow and bully and shuck and jive the troops just as he has the Eddie Haskell of the West Wing all these years.

But when you're stuck out in the middle of where Moses lost his knickers, among people who hate you and who are trying to kill you and you are expected to fight a war with hand-me-downs, you're probably going to be a bit annoyed with the condescending, ideological windbag who sent you into harm's way on a lark and a lie.

Heritage Centerfold

So it was that the J.R. Ewing of the Situation Room found himself in Kuwait answering questions from reservists and National Guard troops about to be sent into Iraq, that terrorist/insurgent winter wonderland of body bags.

It's entirely possible, the Mr. Dithers of the Beltway thought the soldiers would bow and scrape in deference to the centerfold of the Heritage Foundation

1. Again I ask...

why is the chimp off the hook on this issue? The media seems to be glad to both start and end this problem, with rummy as the lone scapegoat, but I really wish they would remember who really started this strategic blunder of a war.

2. Rummy is just a YES MAN

but the problems of armor is all his. He hates the Army. He is all Space Wars and hi-tech stuff. Bush wanted this invasion but it was Rummy who directed the spending and telling Bush what to spend money on. IMHO.

3. Because Iraq is a Cheney-Rumsfeld production

The Chimp is just there because he knows how to get elected. He takes his marching orders from the neo-cons. The media understands this but refuses to let the rest of us know.
