Anyone See Rummy Spining like a Top This Morning?!
I just saw him interviewed on both cnn and msrnc. He was outside NBC after his MTP interview (I thought Zell was supposed to be on). He was asked about the Helicopter being shot down and he proceeded to say we don't have enough information to know if it was shot down but it certainly crashed. Asked about the dead he said not enough information to know how many. NO fucking words of sympathy to the families! The man is INSANE! They all are INSANE! Bring the Troops Home NOW!!!!

:grr: :grr: :grr:

1. Dear Rummy,
Even Fox News says it was shot down and there are 13 dead and 20 wounded.

7. Well it is filted through the back end of some war Hawk.
Did you ever see the word chart that came around in the Vietnam war? All sailors saw it and had it. You wrote a report and used DOD words not the real meaning.I am sure their is a tech wording for this that makes it sound good.After all as Bush said Terrorist bring terror.I love it when he speaks so clear.

This is a much better way to spend your time. Those shows are bad for you brain. I can only stand small doses.

10. me too
I don't even watch TV news. I turn to DUs Latest Breaking News to find out what's happening in the world. I turned the TV off during the 2000 presidential campaign because the spinning for Bush was driving me nuts and manifested itself by my cursing at the TV. Man, I could put together novel combinations of expletives.

But when my son overheard me yell: "you're all a bunch of motherf--king assholes" and confronted me about my language, I knew it was time to part company with the network and cable 'news' propaganda.

I have been on blackout ever since unless given the heads up here or by a friend about a debate or Dem appearance. And I tell ya, TV blackout has been good for my blood pressure, equanimity, and gutter mouth.

8. Bring them on!
I guess they are bringing them on, as asked. Rumsfeld should be tarred and feathered.

9. his attitude was "it's just another day in
Edited on Sun Nov-02-03 09:00 AM by nomaco-10
Baghdad, business as usual". He couldn't be bothered with such mundane questions from the press, he had one of those plum appointments with MTP so he could spin, spin, spin for the cabal.

16. So now, by his own admission,
there are NO answers to ANY questions about Iraq.
It's all just "unknowable".
So it's useless to make guesses.
We invaded another country having absolutely no idea what the outcome would be (after "victory").
We didn't know before we went and we still don't know now.
Aw shit.
:-(

millions to run the propaganda operations, ie Iraqi Media Network, if there is no US propaganda?
