[...] Think Progress, the blog of the Center for American Progress, has an interesting tidbit about Rummy calling the anti-war movement a bunch of Commies and Stalinists. [...]

Yeah? Is that right? Rummy compares Iraq critics to “Communists” and “Stalinists”??

Well, Rummy, I compare you and your boss to Hitler, Goebbels, Goering and the whole Nazi organization.And it isn’t just flaming words either. This country’s Bill of Rights has suffered some major hits and under the guise of security. If that be so, then why are you and your pals doing nothing down on our Southwest border?

Excuse me people, didn’t 9/11 happen during the Bush watch (vacation)? haven’t all the Bush bunch said under oath they didn’t know it was coming.? Isn’t the Bush and BenLauden bunch closely related through big business dealings and large BarBQ’s.? Do we forget Bandar Bush to name one and what about all the jet’s that left full of the foreign dignataries when American family members coulden’t get off the ground. Let’s see we now have over 1870 of our best killed, en excess of 10,000 wounded and fighting for medical care at home, over 100,000 men, women and children in Iraq killed and add to that 3,000 from 9/11. Our country is devided with shouts of war and kill from the extreme right, some profesed christians and peace justice, freedom and tolerance from some of the left. Our verbal in fighting is just what the politicians want as they creep around taking away our rights and emptying our pockets to fill their ever demanding greed for wealth and power. All the while people of great value are dieing. Our country is in financial ruen, job’s and fuel are dwindeling and the foreign powers own us. Instead of fighting and name calling each other how about standing up to the people that cause the problems and demanding full accounts, when we don’t like the answers, boot them out of office. How about a common cause, caring for our troops even when we don’t want this dreadful Bush war would be a good start. And stop condeming people in grief for their views. They have the moral high ground here, not a person who ducked out on their service with lies and influance.

Remember what started all this Iraq stuff? (supposedly)

9/11 ?

Remember Osama bin Laden?

Remember this –
“The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him.”- G.W. Bush, 9/13/01

How about this –

“I don’t know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don’t care. It’s not that important. It’s not our priority.”
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02

Where is Bin Laden?
Why doesn’t Bush care about the leader of Al Qaeda?
Whu did Bush lie when he said “It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him.”?
Why do you support this Dickhead. (You know who you are)

No matter how you want to justify it going there and killing all those people and getting saddam out of power in the end got you absolutely nothing. Where are the WMD’s that they said he was sitting on. When this war started there were 2 agenda’s free the iraqi people from the clutches of the tyrant Saddam and find the WMD’s he was hording. Well saddam is not a moot point rotting away in jail. No WMD’s found. I’d say the mission is done unless there was something else that needed to be done but was never disclosed.

Why is questioning this war such a bad thing? President Bush is hardly a perfect man that can do no wrong as is the rest of his cabinet. We become better by questioning and asking why where how and when (I have no idea why this would be a Stalinist stance).
If it weren’t for our curious nature we’d still believe the world was flat and that the sun revolved around the earth

#38 Blue State Red said :

“With one exception (Vietnam) that has been true. Iraq will not become â€œanother Vietnamâ€ unless we cut and run, as we did 30 years ago.”

Wow, that’s dynamite, Blue! Do you mean to say that that we could have actually won Vietnam? Well, we might have run the risk of losing another 55, 000 kids over there, but if we just employed the strategy of unadulterated genocide, we might have won…

Seriously, do you think mass murder is a religious duty? Let me remind you that if the Lancet is even remotely close to the amount of people we’ve so far killed in Iraq (100, 000+), we’ve already killed a third of what Saddam had. AND in under a tenth of the time! You’re right, Blue, we’re winning!

He wont go ex-hippie, he’s a chickenhawk and promotes murder, torture and rape. Exactly the things he claims Saddam Hussein is guilty of.

Actually, Steed. The people who predicted failure (and I wasn’t among them until 6 months into the occupation) are so far correct. Those who predicted success (weeks, not months, remember?) are so far wrong.

But hey, things could still turn around for you. I think you should go to Iraq and receive the thanks the Iraqis so desperately want to give you. Take lots of pro-Bush banners to display.

Steed, you need to be a man and go to Iraq. Whats your problem are you a chickenhawk? Dumb question. Your moron breeds insanity and terrorism. Have you forgotten Abu Graib you loser? Wait until the horrific tapes and photos are released. I suppose you will be proud to support the rape and torture of human beings. Something you whine and complain that Saddam has done. You’re a moron, I hope you choke on a pretzel and do our world a favor and disappear. You are useless, you serve no purpose.

I hope that was entertaining you freak!

I sense the paranoids here are feeling guilty. You are the people predicting failure every day. Is that not true? And when you can’t defend your position you call us who point it out names like asshole, POS, etc. You hate Bush. You’ve shot your mouth off. You can dish it out but cry foul when it comes your way. This is SO entertaining!

Rumsfeld has a history of being spot on in both his analyses of things that have occurred and predictions of what is to come. With a record like his I am sure all the usual suspects will find more than enough blog fodder contrary to the facts on the ground.

Rummy’s farcical. He’s always talking nonsense, a real empty suit. He’s silly and dangerous at the same time — brought us torture, poor support for our troops in the field all in complete loyalty to King George, whom he compares to George Washington.

Catch 22. Dr. Strangelove. Has Bush&Co.taken us back to the 60’s? In more ways than one, it appears.
Yet, we see them also in Orwell’s 1984.
They are a mutation.

The fact is, they can’t defend their decisions so they have to resort to calling us commies.

There’s no pretty way to debate these clowns. If we went along with the program like they say they want, then they would blame us for the problems. Remember the force resolution? As soon as Kerry criticized the war, it was all, “He voted for the use of force!” WMDs? Their answer is, “Look at everyone else who thought they were there!” Nevermind the decision was Bush’s and his alone. Nevermind Bush directed the intelligence and presented the selective findings.

If we agree, then we share blame. If we disagree, then they claim we want America to lose and are to blame for the enemy’s will to fight.

See how that works? Catch-22.

The fact that Rummy and the other criminals have to make an effort to gain support for the war, proves they have little.

I’m glad Rummy is acting like Pat Robertson. They become targets when they shoot their mouths off.

Hmmmm…. name calling 101. Iraq critics are Stalinists and Communists, not free Americans exercising their right to free speech. I wonder if I can possibly give them some of their own medicine.

Well, lets try it out. Anyone that believes in a war based on 100% lies is an ass-licking nazi! How’s that? Passing grade?

More? Yes, more, more!! Neocons are the equivalent sadistic kiddie rapers (just read about the as yet to be released extra Abu-Ghraib photos and videos to get that one)!

Why does Dick Cheney always seem to be hunched over? Why it might be from Rummie the Rump Roaster!

Admirers of Karl Rove are like prison bull queers, they just love that chubby butt of his.

Anyway, I thought I’d give it a try. Name calling is just a childish cover up for one’s own deficiencies and being human I’ve been guilty of it from time to time also. But I don’t think my name calling ever caused thousands of deaths or did anything to destroy the Bill of Rights.
