If General Pace has "doublethink malfunction" then that is of no concern to Pentagon Pops. When will Bible loving Americans realise that rendition, torture, murder and the slaughter of innocents are the Bush administration's way of bestowing god's gift of democracy upon Iraq, while crippling the US economy,boosting arms sales to whoever has the cash, and making shareholders in Carlisle Gp, Halliburton, Kellog Brown Root etc. exceedingly rich? The light bulb that occassionally flickers in Rumsfeld's skull is Donnie's idea of global warming. It's time Americans flipped his switch, permanently. Relentless high-powered bullshit from Pentagon Pops can only be countered when enough citizens are unafraid to speak truth to power. Polls are one thing, but actions speak louder than words. The last chance we have to salvage what is left of American democracy is by takin' it to the streets in our millions. Even this mob will hesitate to slaughter and maim American citizens in front of hundreds of thousands of video cameras duct-taped to demonstrater's crash helmets. These swine are incapable of playing by a constitution that they have effectively trashed. If we want our country back we are going to have to stand up and be counted. Since the stolen election of 2000, US Democracy has been doing a Terri Schiavo. Good night,and good luck, Columbia.

Pace contradicts himself as much as he contradicts Rummy. Rummy has lost his mind -- he contradicts himself, Pace, the troops, not to mention facts staring him in the face. I have come to believe that he remains in place because he has the ability to contradict himself, lie, and play role required without flinching. Rumsfeld, meet Dr. Strangelove.

One fine day in the middle of the night
two dead men got up to fight
one blind man to see fair play
one mute man to shout hooray
a legless donkey came running by
kicked the blind man in the eye
knocked him through a nine inch wall
into a dry ditch and drowned them all

It’s very, very old. This was told to my father 75 years ago by his uncle who knew it when he was young.

As a consumer of an obscenely disproportionate percentage of the world's oil production, a U.S. attack on Iran would be tantamount to national suicide. Production and shipment from the Persian Gulf would be disrupted for the foreseeable future precipitating the collapse of the already shaky U.S. economy.
