"METRICS" Rummy's Fav Word |
|
Just another word for "Body Count"?
Anybody else getting a sense that Rummy is doing his Bob MacNamara imitation?

applied to the tragic death of thousands of people (US and Iraqi).
THIS is the apex of corporate control. Everything is reduced to a metric - a measure completely removed from humanity.
FU rummy! FU republicans and corporatists.

Listen to what the Gen was saying, he could have benn talking about fortified villages, Iraqi Army kills=SVN Kills.........It's all the same as Vietnam, but with different words.
