Ed points out that some generals endorse Rummy’s handling of his job as Secretary of Defense. They think he is doing a good job. It’s more than obvious these guys need more shore leave to catch back up with reality. Just about 3 years ago Rumsfeld when asked how long he thought this war might take said,  “It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months. Well here we are 3 years later and there is no end in sight. That is certainly a sign of success, adept planning, and careful stewardship of his office on the part of Rumsfeld. But were the Captain and his crew miss the boat is that just because a general or two endorse Rumsfeld does nothing to mitigate the fact that any general at all has broken ranks and opened his mouth to speak out against the Secretary. When was the last time any secretary of states was openly denounced by his own generals? The fact that any general, much less six of them, have called for his resignation says it all.

He's telling you that the U.S. dollar is worth as much as his word of honor. Get it? Oil will be priced in Euros next spring, unless the US invades Iran and prevents them from opening their competitive market -- and people with Euros will be able to buy more than people with dollars. Even the dollars being printed in North Korea. Remember, the Federal Reserve quits reporting the "M3" -- overseas "dollar assets" -- starting early in 2006. Rumsfeld's telling the truth again -- you can take his word to the bank. It's worth the same thing as the full faith and honor of the United States. You know what Rumsfeld was saying to Saddam in that famous handshake picture of a few years ago, don't you? "Don't do anything I wouldn't." And he didn't, apparently.

The high and mighty neo-conservative geniuses that gave us this war have never had the slightest grasp on the social and cultural realities that their actions would put in motion. They are prime representatives of their class, willing to tell folks they'd never mingle with socially how they ought to think and act.
