Rumsfeld Claims Insurgent Violence Increases ‘In the Spring, Summer and Fall Months’
Rumsfeld Claims Insurgent Violence Increases ‘In the Spring, Summer and Fall Months’
Last month, Lt. Gen. David Richards, head of NATO’s Afghan security force, said the country was “close to anarchy.”
Asked about the situation today, Rumsfeld admitted there was a resurgence of the Taliban, admitted Taliban fighters were “occupying safe havens” in Pakistan and other places, and admitted that violence has increased recently. Then he blamed it all on the weather:
Does the violence tend to be up during the summer, in the spring, summer and fall months? Yes it does. And it tends to decline during the winter period. Does that represent failed policy? I don’t know. I would say not.
Transcript:
Afghanistan - um, I don’t know who said what about if the Taliban are gone [Ed. note: You did.] but, in fact, the Taliban that were running Afghanistan and ruling Afghanistan were replaced. And they were replaced by an election that took place in that country, and in terms of a government or a governing entity, they were gone, and that’s a fact.
Are there still Taliban around? You bet. Are they occupying safe havens in Afghanistan and other places — correction, in Pakistan and other places? Certainly they are. Is the violence up? Yes. Does the violence tend to be up during the summer, in the spring, summer and fall months? Yes it does. And it tends to decline during the winter period. Does that represent failed policy? I don’t know. I would say not.

Remove this man immediately, for the sake of our troops.
August 3rd, 2006 at 2:43 pmInsane M/F!
August 3rd, 2006 at 2:44 pmHoly shit.
This man's brain is pickled. Remove him before the entire military machine of America is ruined.

August 3rd, 2006 at 2:45 pmRumseld has a prospensity for saying things that might as well read: "Is the insurgency winning? Yes. Is there a vertiable Civil War? Yes. Are American soldiers in ever-greater danger fighting for objectives that are now virtually unachievable due to the numerous mistakes that have been made? Yes. Should I be held accountable? Of course not."
August 3rd, 2006 at 2:45 pmYeah, violence is like the tide -it is affected by the Moon.
On the other hand, Rumsfeld's lunacy might be due to the phases of the Moon too.
August 3rd, 2006 at 2:45 pmstill the same old nixonite
August 3rd, 2006 at 2:45 pmyeah with just 6 1/2 hrs daily electricity ,being liberated from their air conditioners in 130 degree heat probably makes them cranky
August 3rd, 2006 at 2:51 pmintersitng....
i would say just being able to determine that it increases for "most of the year" and falls off in the winter is evidence of a failed policy.
August 3rd, 2006 at 2:52 pm"oh its that time of the year again... IEDs are in the air..... time for spring killing......"
None of the foreign policy promises has been delivered.
None of the lofty goals has been achieved.
If that is not enough, violence is on the rise.
Do those facts point to a failed policy? Of course not -it's the heat, stupid!
August 3rd, 2006 at 2:53 pmRumsfeld is the face of the failed neocon policies in Iraq. What a tragedy that the GOP let these assholes get away with this. Now the GOP knows they have to oppose the war in Iraq to win re-election. Iraq is a failed Bush policy. Or should I say ANOTHER failed Bush policy.
August 3rd, 2006 at 2:54 pmSounds like the only cure for the insurgency is nuclear winter.
-Paul Wolf-O-Perle-Ledeen-Bennett
August 3rd, 2006 at 2:55 pmHoly F#CK. I wonder if the seasonal activity qualifies as a known known, a unknown known, or a known unknown....
August 3rd, 2006 at 2:55 pmUnreal...
I guess I shouldn't be too surpried...after all, this is the guy who said that the WMDs were 'in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat'.
If our only effective weapon against the insurgents is winter, then it looks like all this global warming is really going to screw us...
August 3rd, 2006 at 2:55 pmApparently, the Taliban are all out skiing and building snow forts to busy to be bothered with guns and shooting and stuff....
August 3rd, 2006 at 2:57 pmWe could have had 70000 troops in Afghanistan (1/2 the # in Iraq) with a reasonably short tour of duty, and by now we would have eliminated the Taliban and caught Osama.
August 3rd, 2006 at 2:57 pmThe failed policy was invading Iraq.
Guess he was setting his next appearance for say, winter time?
August 3rd, 2006 at 2:57 pmRumsfeld Claims Insurgent Violence Increases ‘In the Spring, Summer and Fall Months’ -- "Now is the winter of my content" - - Rummy the Turd.
August 3rd, 2006 at 2:59 pm#15 And don't forget real international cooperation.
August 3rd, 2006 at 2:59 pmWhew, glad I booked my vacation to Afghanistan in December. Thanks, Rummy.
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:00 pmGot an answer for everything. I work with a dude like this. It starts with a conversation about dogs and ends with a conversation about umbrellas...
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:03 pmReply to Jebus Loves Me:
We could have had 70000 troops in Afghanistan (1/2 the # in Iraq) with a reasonably short tour of duty, and by now we would have eliminated the Taliban and caught Osama.
Jebus, I hate to break it to you, but Osama will never be captured.
Why not? Because it's very easy for a dead man to hide.
It doesn't matter, anyway. The administration never intended to capture Osama...he's far too valuable filling the shoes of Emmanuel Goldstein.
The failed policy was invading Iraq.
Only if you view it as what the administration says it is (war on terror, Iraqui liberation, etc. etc.). If you view it as what it truly is (U.S. establishing foothold in M.E., control of Iraq's oil reserves, agitation of remainder of M.E., etc.) it's a smashing success.
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:04 pmRumsfeld sets very high standards for himself.... and he is the only one who evaluates the policy... so we must be doing ok in Iraq
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:07 pmDonald Rumsfeld is a war criminal. Period.
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:10 pmwas he even ASKED about the weather?
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:11 pmYou watch. He's going to be the sacrificial goat right before the Nov 2006 elections so the Repubs can say:
"Look we are fixing the problem so keep us in power and we will fix the rest"
Which just might distract people enough from removing the Republican Leadership out of power entirely and things will stay the same.
Mark my words:
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:11 pm1. If the Repub leadership stays, Iraq will continue as we see it and wasting the lives of our soldiers for no clear cut goals,
2. The privatization of Social Security will rear its head again
3. Oil prices will continue to rise
To pull our troops out of Iraq will be a victory for America. The only losers are the republican idiots and their supporters who put them there in the first place.
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:12 pmIf you want a good laugh, all you need to do is to listen to a few Rumsfeld's quotes. His ignorance is never ending.
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:12 pmrandi's playing a clip with his "answer" to a question about it being a civil war... it sounds more like geometry...
who takes him away? can anyone?
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:16 pmI wathced the exchange, and the one thing that Clinton should have said in response to Rumsfeld's claim that they used their "best judgement" in terms of troop strength, etc., would be, "Sir, if your decisions represent the "best judgement" this administration can muster, then clearly it is time for you and the rest of the Iraqi war planners to resign, and let people with superior judgement take the helm."
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:19 pmAs US soldiers die every day in Iraq, we have Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Bolton, and Rove making policy decisions. Same clowns, different circus. Can you imagine a meeting with these idiots? Bush looks down the table and see's Rumsfeld dosing off and asks, "What do you think Rummy?"
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:19 pmHad he just stuck with spring and summer, this quote might have almost been true. Military campaigns tend to be waged in spring and summer. with a reduction during winter. Historically this has been true. However by adding in fall he basically blew the whole thing out of the water.
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:19 pm"Let me give you a warning. If you go to Paris, 'Chapeau' means 'hat.' 'Å’uf' means 'egg.' It's like those French have a different word for everything" -Steve Martin
Rumsfeld has a different word for everything, too.
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:20 pmSo Mr Rumsfeld will be wintering in Iraq this year?
He's a half-wit, and he must resign immediatley.
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:25 pmI can imagine pulling up to a middle-of-nowhere gas station and asking this old coot directions to the nearest diner.
"Well is down the road al little north, south, east and west of here. But the it gets a busier in the spring, summer, fall times. Yep but its a dickens of a place. Where's that dog 'o mine. Time for a kickin'.
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:28 pmWinter happens only west east noth east south near Tikrit somewhat
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:31 pmI recall,
seeing footage of Bush
frantically scampering to Rove
when Rove entered the White House.
As if Bush were waiting, anticipating, urgently.
Has anyone seen this? Know what I'm talking about?
CNN, year ago or so-
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:33 pmGod Bless America, Land that I love
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:34 pmStand beside her and save her
thru the night from the knife of Karl Rove
And Donald Rumsfeld's blather
He knows where the insurgents are too - in the areas North, South , East, and West of Baghdad.
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:42 pmYou can't make this stuff up.
I mean that. I couldn't think of something like that in a million years. Just for that alone the guy deserves to keep his job.
If he can think outside the box like that, he will be a TREMENDOUS stand-up comedian.
Oh, wait, He's NOT a stand-up comedian????
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:43 pmMy name says it all.......
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:44 pmIt's time to send Rummy to the nursing home if anyone believes that bull then their as stupid or mental as Rummy. I knew he would lose it because all they had to do was go to the video tape for Rummy lies. To think all our troops dead and dying based on lies by this Administration. I wonder how the parents who supported this group feel now that they know it was all based on lies, their children didn't have to die.
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:45 pmOh if ever I wouldn't IED you,
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:47 pmNo it wouldn't be in springtime...
"dickens" (adj) -- of, or pertaining to, the work of Charles Dickens; usually trying to establish how we can be both in the best of times and worst of times at the same time.
Hence, when Rumsfeld says Senator Clinton will have a "dickens of a time," he means that she'll find him being pessimistic (worst of times!) about as much as he's optimistic (best of times!) and that, on the balance of optimism and pessimism, nothing has changed since 9/11. (And when somebody incorrectly paraphrases him to say that he told Senator Clinton that she "wouldn't be able," he'll come back and reiterate that what he meant by "dickens" was as I've listed here and not what most people expect that it means, much like the way he means Insurgency as opposed to the way everybody else in the world means Insurgency or the way he means Taliban as opposed to the way everybody else in the world means Taliban.)
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:51 pmYou think this might show up tonight on the Daily Show?
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:51 pmAt least Rumsfeld did not say that people went crazy during the full moon or thait more fighting was due to astrological factors.
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:57 pmI'm getting tired of the old "ask-and-answer-your-own-question" routine. It is one of Rumsfeld's many rhetorical crimes, chief of which was popularizing the phrase "sooner rather than later."
Hw will, however, never match beloved dead comic "Prof." Irwin Corey:
"Why do I wear tennis shoes? That's a diffficult question, so to make it easier I'll divide it into two parts. First: Why? Why is a question of incredible depth and subtlety, one that has engaged and frustrated the great philosophers from Socrates up through the modern age. To even attempt to answer would be to insult this great and brilliant tradition by suggesting that someone like myself deserves to be among their august company even for the briefest moment. Now, as for the second part of your question: Do I wear tennis shoes? Yes."
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:59 pmCould we make up a better parody of Rumseld's annoying rhetoric-by-repeated-question-and-short-answer mannerism? Hell no!
August 3rd, 2006 at 3:59 pmGood Grief ! He sounds like Chauncey Gardner.

August 3rd, 2006 at 4:00 pm[...] From our friends at ThinkProgress.org. Watch it here. [...]
August 3rd, 2006 at 4:01 pm"We know where the Peaks of Conflict Escalation are. They are in the areas around Baghdad and Tikrit, and spring, summer, fall and winter, somewhat."
August 3rd, 2006 at 4:02 pmYachts: Could we make up a better parody of Rumseld’s annoying rhetoric-by-repeated-question-and-short-answer mannerism? - - Yeah, just what the hell is that about? Is that a control freak issue where you're compelled to frame every question put to you in your own terms? Rummy should just hire Ed McMahon to stand next to him and repeat every question posed. Of course, Rummy would have to wear a turban a la Carnac and wouldn't that be rich.
August 3rd, 2006 at 4:04 pmOh..for goodness sake, why is this clown still in charge?
August 3rd, 2006 at 4:04 pmTo think the our sons and daughters are getting slaughtered for jokers like this!
Where are those damn neocons who started it all?
Send them ALL to Baghdad please..
NOW!
(The other) Jim:"Good Grief ! He sounds like Chauncey Gardner."
August 3rd, 2006 at 4:08 pm- -
Yes. In the garden (Iraq), growth (democracy) has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again. - - Chauncey Rumsfeld
good one, runningdog... i sent it to randi ...
August 3rd, 2006 at 4:08 pmwill she read it on air? who knows...
Rummy needs to be in a nursing home.
August 3rd, 2006 at 4:16 pmDoes this mean the Bush administration will formulate a policy on "terror warming"?
August 3rd, 2006 at 4:23 pmCan you imagine Rumsfeld at home?
Q: Honey where is the cereal?
August 3rd, 2006 at 4:24 pmA:It's somewhere above, to the left, or right of the fridge, either on counter, or in the cabinets.
Rumsfeld is a very deluded and despicable character
August 3rd, 2006 at 4:36 pmSpring, Summer and Fall. And its Iraq. Do they even have a Winter? So basically the insurgents are active on 3/4 of the year. And this is a *good* thing?
I guess when failure is a repeated result then ANYTHING can look like good news.
"hey, we only lost 25 guys today instead of 35. It's an upswing!"
--d
August 3rd, 2006 at 4:39 pmSo things will be just peachy in the winter? Like they were last winter?
August 3rd, 2006 at 4:46 pmDo I like being here answering your "henny penny the sky is falling" questions? No, of course not. Do I resent your implications that I'm an asshat? No question. Will I continue to reframe your queries into something I feel more comfortable answering? Absolutely. Do I think that the oversimplification of the complexities of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan to simplistic questions with one-word answers will get me through this wringer. Yes.
August 3rd, 2006 at 4:51 pmWhen Sec. McNamara completed his "dog and pony show" over Vietnam, he was thanked, given citations for his service, and bumped up to the job of Pesident of the World Bank (his salary there is non-taxable!!!!!!).
Now that Wolfy (of George Cheney Bush fame) is over at the bank, WHERE OH WHERE will they send Rummy?
Why don't we elect George and Laura "KING AND QUEEN" of the world? Let's hear from some Christian Conservatives on their solution . . . .they "blocked up" to justify their own existance. Perhaps PRAYER, . . .thought it has not worked so far.
ENOUGH -
August 3rd, 2006 at 4:52 pmdear God he makes you long for the clear Cocisness of Greenspan
August 3rd, 2006 at 4:54 pmPut this man and the White House Iraq Group in a supermax prison for life. This war criminal has made the world a far more dangerous place to live in since he has created the biggest terrorist training ground in the world.
Add the top war criminals too!
August 3rd, 2006 at 4:58 pmThe people that have authorized the use of white phosphorus, cluster bombs, incindiary bombs, depleted uranium, microwave and lasar weapons as well as the Nazi creation of "shock and awe" and torture are war criminals. It goes straight up the chain from various divisions of the defense department, to Rumsfeld, Gonzalez, Powell, Ashcroft, Addinton, Cheney and Bush. These people involved have no regard for extreme pain and suffering of the masses a "collateral" damage (killing of innocents) is far greater than the original group of terrorists. Now every male that can hold a gun in Iraq is considered a target. The people that are responsible should be routed out and put on trial. These same people have destroyed the constitution and bill of rights for their own purposes. Senators and Congressmen that have voted to eliminate American's freedoms and liberties should be identified and impeached. They have turned this country into the Secret State of America and are as transparent in their decision making as a tarpit.
and then ice hockey in the winter. I went to the championships in Baghdad once. It was very exciting, many people were killed (w.c. field, paraphrased)
August 3rd, 2006 at 5:00 pmWhat Rumsfeld is really saying is:
Am I the chosen one by the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission, UN, WB, WTO, IMF, et al?
Yes goddamnit so just leave me the hell alone because you freaks can't do a frickin thing to me and I know it.
Don't point fingers at the ruling elite and at Rumsfeld instead - he gets an A+ and he does get promoted.

August 3rd, 2006 at 5:03 pmHe was one of the liars to put America into this mess that should never have been. Lying to congress about the war is a criminal offense by the Administration and they all should be prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law. They have killed our own soldiers and have turned our soldiers into targets. The pentagon leadership should be dragged into this as well. The incompetence is far beyond moronic it's so bad.
August 3rd, 2006 at 5:03 pmFall, summer, winter, ... north, south, east and west of Baghdad. Wow. What a strategist he is.
August 3rd, 2006 at 5:05 pmSenility ravages the mind so. It's a shame they haven't allowed stem cell research. It could have offered him so much hope.
Winter is my favorite season too, I love snowskiing, it gets my mind off of wanting to kill.
August 3rd, 2006 at 5:06 pmIdiot!!!
August 3rd, 2006 at 5:07 pmWell, at least we didn't get this gem from rummy:
"Death has a tendency to encourage a depressing view of war."
August 3rd, 2006 at 5:07 pmWhat has this meathead done with $500+ billion/year spent on the military? How stupid can the US get with such an idiot amount of money and performing so pathetically. Like 9/11, the military has shown itself to be completely unprepared for anything. It is nothing more than a money pit with morons in congress and senate continually feeding it so they can pad their resume to make more money. The whole thing is a stinking scam. Almost the entire house and senate are loosers that can't keep track of anything but how much they are getting out of deals throwing a few billion here and there.
August 3rd, 2006 at 5:14 pmHow long before 5-deferment Dickhead Cheney proclaims the Taliban to be in their "last throes"?
August 3rd, 2006 at 5:16 pmYour watching the fall of the United States as the result of the incompetence of George Bush and his gang of Nazi's.
August 3rd, 2006 at 5:25 pmYes I often wonder how well the half-trillion-dollar-a-year budget is managed, and what kinds of things it pays for.
August 3rd, 2006 at 5:31 pmPart of the problem is the 50% of apathetic fools in this country have lowered the bar and set the standard that "we don't need to concern ourselves with the government's business".
August 3rd, 2006 at 5:33 pmBob Jones University is holding its Rhetoric seat open for Rumsfeld should he survive the Afghan winter and Senator Clinton.
August 3rd, 2006 at 5:41 pmIs Rumsfeld covering his ass with lies? I would say yes. Is Rummsfeld at a loss for what to do in Iraq and Afghanistan? It could appear that way. Should Rummy sit down with a shrink to see if he is well enough to be in charge of the worlds only superpower? Indubadubley.
August 3rd, 2006 at 5:52 pmMy cat is more intelligent than this person!
August 3rd, 2006 at 6:07 pmGood thing the timing of increased violence in the summer coincides with Republicans not paying attention to these depressing affairs during the summer (according to Bill O'Reilly). No wonder cooservatives think everything is just peachy!
August 3rd, 2006 at 6:08 pmWhat an Idiot! Blame it on the weather BUT not global warmingm 'cuz there is not such thing. Geezzzzz
August 3rd, 2006 at 6:08 pmI've got it -- the Dems need a recording of John MacEnroe yelling, "You Cannot Be Serious!!" everytime Rumsfeld, Bush, Cheney, Kristol, et al. open their mouths.
August 3rd, 2006 at 6:12 pm"Well Senator Clinton if you'll let me explain I am sure that eventually I will somehow get around to explaining why I need to explain the unexplainable when in reality the explained truth should reveal the explanitory truth...oh shit!!! Did I just wet myself???"..."What was the question again?"
August 3rd, 2006 at 6:18 pmMr Rumsfeld appears to be demented.
August 3rd, 2006 at 6:19 pmSenator Clinton was swinging old rummy by his gonads. Watching him twist and turn struggling for words or some of those laugh a minute catch phrases of his was pure joy. Senator Reed (Del) also landed a few good punches until referee Warner yelled foul and called him off. Senator McCain scored several good ones in the warm up round--- and then there was Senator Kennedy sitting there like a big toad patting himself on the back when he could have been chewing away on rummy's legs like a mad dog.
August 3rd, 2006 at 6:23 pmSo it's all because global warming and not a failure of Rumsfeld ??? Gosh !!!
August 3rd, 2006 at 6:31 pmRumpsfelt: "Some secretarys are violent in Iraq, they need a national secretary day"
August 3rd, 2006 at 6:37 pmDoes anyone remember Rummy's one liner when asked about the growing insurgency a year ago? It's a classic "ALL WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HERE IS A HANDFUL OF NEIGHBORHOOD THUGS" Cheney repeated it the same week.
August 3rd, 2006 at 6:40 pmI honestly think these criminals laugh their butts off at their press statements when they are behind closed doors.
Well, considering that we have been in Afghanistan for almost 5 years now, Rumsfeld has had enough time to develop this stunning new method of gauging the varied levels of insurgent violence. It must be projects like that that keep him too busy to testify before Congress. That being said, OH MY GAAAAWWWWWWWWD!!! The way he 'responds' to questions is so bloody damn INFURIATING!!! He clearly is holding information back. We are at WAR! It is to dangerous to wait for him to understand the importance of what he knows! Let's get him to Gitmo, right away, and get some of those 'private contractors' to go to work on him, until he tells us everything he knows. Lives are at stake!
August 3rd, 2006 at 7:04 pmFrom "East, West, South and North somewhat" to "Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter somewhat".
I forget, was the violence down last Winter? No? Really? You sure?
August 3rd, 2006 at 7:18 pmWas he interviewing himself? Yes.
August 3rd, 2006 at 7:27 pmWebster's should put a picture of Rumsfeld next the word "incompetent" in the dictionary.
August 3rd, 2006 at 7:49 pmWalking in a winter wonderland... Later on, we'll be waterboarding...
August 3rd, 2006 at 7:50 pmRumsfeld is in the last throes of sanity. It's only a matter of time before he is relieved of his responsibilities.
August 3rd, 2006 at 7:57 pmTo mongo,#61 that is the funniest post I have ever read on any topic I almost cried myself sober.Swamo
August 3rd, 2006 at 7:59 pmYou am not on Bizarro World!
August 3rd, 2006 at 8:02 pmTripMaster Monkey (#13) brings to mind an image of Rumsfeld holding Captain Jack Sparrow's wayward compass and saying let's go "that way direction."
August 3rd, 2006 at 9:04 pmIt would be dismissive of us to assume that Rummy is either insane or stupid. He's actually neither. It is the people who buy his bullshit that are one or the other or both. And believe me, there are a ton of them out there. And they vote. But hey, thank god elections are in November. When it is cold enough to not have so much violence at the polls. Goodness knows, when it gets hot out, I just wanna sock someone in the mouth.
August 3rd, 2006 at 9:28 pmWinter is my favorite season too, I love snowskiing, it gets my mind off of wanting to kill.
Comment by For Truth
I hope you ski as often as you can. :}
August 3rd, 2006 at 9:38 pmthis idiots ability to answer questions with asking his own and then answering them makes me want to puke each and every time I hear his bs. Do we need another secdef? I guess thats a rodger. Are we going to ask for another? maybe. Probably not.
August 3rd, 2006 at 10:15 pmGoddamnit you stupid old man, answer the questions.
Well well....now it seem a bit to late to see the now transformed Arabian full bloood for what it is dear American brethren and sisters of mine. AN UNDRESSED DONKEY! LOL! LMAO! Yes, I am lauighin so much that it hurts. Why? hey look here now. One...#1: You shoosed to let be a man who acually infornt of the whole world had the "guts" to defend several things that out here in the rest of the world is seemed as going back to the middle ages, Torture (put a nice label on it and maybe them so and so aducated Americans may still believe that it is something else then what it really is) Then he went on the defesive on Falluja and Ramadi before actually contradicting him self??? ROFL! and when he took those soldiers that planned and killed more then twenty people (plus a whole family with a bunch of children in their livingroom) Talking about "Hadita", I felt that the time had come for someone to just walk in there and get rid of that bug, I mean just spray it off just like it likes to do with what it seem to see as lesser people from other placers in the world. He repeated the defence before it got to obvious that it had happend again, now in the place where the Muhad=jedin took revenge on those who had planned and commited the horrific rape and murder of a preteen girl and them executed her whole family. THAT my dear fellow Brethren was OUR OWN SONS WHO DID THAT! AMERICAN SOLDIERS RAPED A FOURTEEN YEAR OLD!!! DOn't any one of you who dare to appologize for these mosters ever come clean infront of me and call your selves Cristians. Because these here underdogs for the Devil him self are NOT! I tell you all what. the day that these rotten bastards all are gone and burning in that very exclusive hot place that they with 100% certenty now have gotten reserved for thwem selves, yeah, that day will be a day of celebration for mankind. And if you do not like my words...then go F**K yo selves...for you others that's been thinking about the courage to be ready for the deffence of the Constitution of America. SEMPER FI!!!!!!!
August 3rd, 2006 at 10:20 pmI don't want to hear anymore from this administration on what their next estimates are. I would like them to own up to the incredible mistakes and recognize the undo tragedy that they have caused. Any CEO would have been fired by now. Football/baseball coach axed a long time ago.
Own up to your mistakes and hand over the keys. We've seen how you drive and we don't like it.
August 3rd, 2006 at 10:24 pmrummy's on C-SPAN right now.
August 3rd, 2006 at 10:26 pmSen. Clinton says Rumsfeld should resign hours after excoriating him at a public hearing over what she called "failed policy" in
Iraq - from the Assoc. Press
Damn, I knew she had some cajones under that dress of hers.
August 3rd, 2006 at 10:31 pmCould someone just go and piss on his hat the next time a bomb blasts off and takes away valuable Civilian and American soldiers lifes? baybe that way he will start to listen to the experts and not only have the "yeeeaaaaah Siiirrrr! kiss his old ass and smile" sayers standing around ready for the standard handjob that comes with their sellout jobs. And then he might re-think of what weather exact it might be that it goes up or down..what an immensly sick idiot they have as their fourth in command don't they??????
August 3rd, 2006 at 10:34 pmWhat an arrogant ass. He thinks he has all the answers. Therefore, he asks and answers his own questions. Why is he still around? He lies like there is no tomorrow.
August 3rd, 2006 at 10:45 pmWolfowitz the big badass Lobo said in his Key Quote: “We are dealing with a country that can really finance its own reconstruction and relatively soon.†[Wolfowitz, 3/27/03]
And that is the A-hole who is runnin the world bank...ROFL! Talk about a missplaced head of CEO to be managing something like THAT. Is it just me or does this look lie a movie script written by Mel? Now Gibson your morons. Mel Brooks...LMAO!
August 3rd, 2006 at 10:56 pmnow whatabout the super idiot number one, and one of Americas most celebrated and immoral thieves. The so called “Prince of Darkness,†had this screwed up quote to add to our neverending shamefull bag of hippocracy and that only proves that even these handbags actually do smoke pot, or whatever else it isa that can make one spew out this kind of "truthiness"...Key Quote: “And a year from now, I’ll be very surprised if there is not some grand square in Baghdad that is named after President Bush. There is no doubt that, with the exception of a very small number of people close to a vicious regime, the people of Iraq have been liberated and they understand that they’ve been liberated. And it is getting easier every day for Iraqis to express that sense of liberation.†[Perle, 9/22/03]
You all wondering why the gasprice is up? guys like this one has your salery in their pockets stupes....He he he!
August 3rd, 2006 at 11:16 pmLol in Iraq the best weather is in winter > summer is a hellish 110+ zone, so does Rummy ever say anything that makes sense?
August 3rd, 2006 at 11:31 pmwell Jay, I guess that your question is quite simple to answer....to an intellectual person as I think that we and most of us in here screaming bloddy murder and foul, he doesn't. But to what must seem to be a huge number of Americans he seem to actually do just that. Why else is it the fact that not once have the rest of a very confused rest of the world seen but one pubicly and profound outcry against the continuation of this man on that seat?
August 3rd, 2006 at 11:55 pmThis finger waving, grimacing old bastard, had the look of kill when Hillary was giving him the shaft of his incompetence, he wont step down because the Bush family owe him. Rummy's poll numbers are taking a dive, as are the rest of the lying bastards.
August 4th, 2006 at 12:01 amNow is the time for every man and woman who is repulsed by the inanity of this man to e-mail MoveOn.org and volunteer to staff the phone banks. To do anything less is to become an enabler of this drunken policy.
August 4th, 2006 at 12:25 amSo, the whole problem can be traced to non-existent global warming.

August 4th, 2006 at 1:26 amI TRULY BELIEVE THIS BASTARD RUMSFELD IS SENILE AND THE EMBODIMENT OF EVIL,it it's blissfull stupidity,OUR MEN DIE FOR NOTHING,AND GUESS WHAT FOLKS,THEY SAY IT'S "CIVIL WAR",stay the course,STAY THE COURSE ,THEN STAY AND DIE,WE ARE SACRIFICING OUR MEN FOR WHAT "RUMMIEASS".bastard lying,spying,murderers,bush,cheeney,rummie,ALL AMERICA AWAKES TO THIS HIDEOUS LIE AND ENDLESS "VIETNAM".
August 4th, 2006 at 2:01 am[...] Two top generals fear that Iraq is on the brink of civil war. Senator Hillary Clinton calls for Rumsfeld’s resignation. Confidential memo to Tony Blair warns of Iraq civil war. Rumsfeld blames increased insurgency violence on the weather. Bloodiest day yet for Israel and Lebanon. Six U.S. Marines charged with assault for injuring Iraqi civilians. A suicide bomber rammed his car into a NATO convoy in Afghanistan’s southern Kandahar province on Friday, a day after raids there killed 21 civilians and four foreign soldiers. [...]

August 4th, 2006 at 5:01 amGLOBAL WARMONGERING??????????
August 4th, 2006 at 6:23 amWell, you don't go to war in the season you want to, you go to war in the season you've got!
Sheesh!
Umm, Rums, ole buddy....War History....It's a little harder to wage war in the winter, what with the cold weather, lack of supply, slippery terrain (mountainous?)...
Then, in the other 3/4 of the year - there's a bit of a pickup...
What is your F(*&!*(!&!( ing JOB?
Surprised that a leader of a military operation might take into account the WEATHER?!?!?!?!?
Deliver us from Bush and lead us not into temptation.
August 4th, 2006 at 6:59 amI was trying to find some post defending Rumsfeld. There is always someone...not in this case.
August 4th, 2006 at 7:34 amIT'S THE "I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE" SYNDROME WHICH HAS ITS ROOTS IS FALSE cHRISTIAN DOCTRINE WHICH ABSOLVES ITS FOLLOWERS[FOOLS] OF RESPONSIBILTY BECAUSE EITHER "THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT" OR "GOD TOLD ME TO DO IT[ALA bUSH]. THAT'S THE APPEAL OF THESE PRETEND cHRISTIAN PREACHERS[HARLOTS] AND THEIR PHONEY DOCTRINES[FORNICATIONS] WHICH TEACHES THEIR CONGREGATIONS[FOOLS], GATHERING PLACES OF SATAN,TO WORSHIPE THE ANTI CHRIST. ANTI CHRIST DOES NOT MEANS AGAINST CHRIST BUT SATAN PRETENDING TO BE THE CHRIST. THE "LEFT BEHIND" SERIES[WHICH IS FICTION] IS THE EDUCATIONAL ARM OF THE ANTI CHRIST. THE FIORST ONE'S TAKEN ARE GONE TO WORSHIP THE ANTI CHRIST AS THIS IS WHAT HAPPEN FIRST. THIS IS WHAT THE BIBLE DECLARES.
August 4th, 2006 at 9:34 amCan we replace Rumsfeld with someone who does not respond to a question by asking and answering his own question?
We probably should.
August 4th, 2006 at 10:02 amGuess there ain't no cure for the summertime blues. . . .
August 4th, 2006 at 10:34 amHow about moving all the population of Iraq to the North Pole? (or whatever is left of it, thanks to "climate change")
August 4th, 2006 at 10:35 amAccording to Rummy, that should take care of the insurgency problem right away and it's probably cheaper and more environmentally friendly that launching mortars and dealing with IEDs!
Without in any way endorsing the war plans of SecDef for Afghanistan and Iraq, I might wish to mention to everyone in here that he's right about the insurgencies peaking in the warm months.
The nice thing about Anbar in the spring, despite the ongoing violence, was the cold rains that kept more insurgents from venturing out. This is a reality. Violence does ebb in the cold months, and surge as the weeks get warmer and drier.
To condemn him for pointing out what every grunt in Iraq and Afghanistan knows kind of make you look, well, stupid.
You can make very persuasive progressive points against the strategy and prosecution of these conflicts, but you lose credibility when you fail to grasp something so basic as the role climate plays on combat operations.
As for the canard that if we had every soldier in Iraq instead in Afghanistan we'd have located and captured Osama Bin Laden, one might wish to suggest that, perhaps, Osama is in Pakistan, across the border and beyond the reach of our military.
Unless, of course, you advocate the invasion of another sovereign nation -- this time an ally -- in order to grab a man who no longer heads such a devastating transnational terrorist organization.
You make the choice.
August 4th, 2006 at 10:56 amSend the man love, he feeds on fear and hate.
August 4th, 2006 at 11:38 amRummy needs to be locked up! This NUT JOB has an BullSh@$ answer for everything. Is this one of those known unknowns with the known known? WTF? Is it 2008 yet?!

August 4th, 2006 at 12:02 pmsiri
Rummy must be watching reruns of The West Wing on Bravo!!! President Bartlett said the problems in the Middle East were because it's hot and there's no water friggin YESTERDAY!!!
August 4th, 2006 at 12:15 pmConsider: that the murderous racist fart, Neocon attack dog and war criminal par excellence Rummy (ie, Rum-Dumb?) is a shrewd player. I assert that he is feigning dotage to elude culpability/prosecution in the same way that the "Chin", Vincent Gigante reportedly wandered drooling in a bathrobe in Greenwicch Village for 20 years, dogged by cops.
This approach would make sense when one acknowledges that the illicit Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld (BCR) junta is essentially a criminal syndicate, not only by MO (drugs, assassination, prostitution, intimidation...) but by association--contact with the Rev. Moon/Bo Hi Pak messianic cult dyad and other far-right schema-ridden, ideologically-driven proxies--with Asian and US orgainized crime players, networks, intel and cash.
So...what of it? The sweltering, thirsty and dispossessed "subhuman" folks of Palestine, Iraq and Lebanon, those motley unwashed statistics in the Neocon-Moon and Zionist "Heavenly Dispensation" footnotes, don't amount to a rat's ass.
Corporatist Neocon and Congressional Quisling daily checklist: kill Arab poor, clean the pool, water the lawn, another Magarita, call whore No. 4... . Life is good.
August 4th, 2006 at 12:32 pm[...] Rumsfeld’s slippery slope continues as he now blames the Iraq insurgency on the weather. Not only that, but he can’t remember what he’s said before about Iraq as he claims “I’ve never painted a rosy picture about Iraq.” Oh no, Donnie…I’m afraid you’ve painted galleries worth. While I may not care much for Hillary Clinton, she did manage to slam Donald Rumsfeld pretty good. [...]
August 4th, 2006 at 1:20 pmI want him to score some of whatever it is he's smoking.

"You watch. He’s going to be the sacrificial goat right before the Nov 2006 elections..."
and then Joe Lieberman will be appointed Interim SecDef... no hearings required AND he gets to stay in D.C.
Oy vey!
August 4th, 2006 at 3:29 pmHe is essentially correct.
The seasonal nature of warfare in Afghanistan is a result of it having exceptionally harsh winters, the fighters being mostly foot bound (tough to move in snow drifts) and it being a tribal society with an agricultural econmony which has historically viewed summer as the time for fighting. Planting and harvesting cause decreases in military activity in the spring and fall and in most of the country the winter weather at those altitudes is harsher than you can imagine.
Fanantical are not, the Taliban clothed in light cotton clothing and shod in flip flops prefer to winter over in Pakistan.
August 4th, 2006 at 5:02 pmMother Nature strikes again! Three out of four seasons produce a surge of violence in Afghanistan.
Please someone, put this guy in a padded cell for the sake of the entire world!
August 4th, 2006 at 5:06 pmThere are plenty of legitimate criticisms of Rumsfield to be made, but this is not one of them. It is a fact of military history that all fighting practiced by every military group in the world has been and is effected by weather conditions, such that each group's fighting behavior falls into predictable patterns. This is undeniable and it is directly relevant (and absolutely necessary) in assessing the success or failure of any given military policy. In the context of this meeting, Rumsfield was countering that laying the recently increasing violence at the feet of policy is overly simplistic, given the rather large number of factors that cannot be controlled by even a perfect policy. Again, I have plenty of criticisms of the "Iraq plan" and our lack of effectiveness there, but yanking this comment out of context and deliberately misunderstanding it is purely masturbatory. It shows a primadonna-ish demand for perfection, rather than a real interest in finding out wherein Rumsfield is actually wrong.
Most of the comments I've read on here are overly simplistic and self-inflating. Bank on it: there isn't a human being on this planet, no matter how much you dislike him, who can be reduced from his complexity to a convenient, easily dismissable simplicity.

August 4th, 2006 at 5:17 pmDear Punchy,
Sorry to be picky but on the record it's "Known Knowns", Known Unknowns" and "Unknown Unknowns".
August 4th, 2006 at 6:04 pmDear Punchy,
It's "Known Knowns", "Known Unknowns" and "Unknown Unknowns"
You twisted it up a bit.
August 4th, 2006 at 6:19 pmWhat says it all is the statement "I don’t know. I would say not."
He admits he doesn't know but that has no affect on the claims he will actually make. The facts are irrelevant.
August 4th, 2006 at 6:25 pmHOT AND GRUMPY IN BAGHDAD
Ahmed, (getting a drink from the luke cool fridge in his family’s apartment) mutters, “It’s just too blasted hot to go out setting up IEDs today.â€
(the lights blink, the whirr and gurgle of the air conditioner ceases and we hear a door slam, then silence followed by an explosion in the distance)
August 5th, 2006 at 9:30 am#79 why do you hate your cat so much?
August 5th, 2006 at 2:50 pmthey are going to keep giving us these bonehead answers because they are never challenged by anyone but us. The MSM cowers in their presence. Do you really think he was bothered by what Hillary had to say? She asked the right questions but where was her backup? These criminals know they can do and say any kind of mumbo jumbo w/o needing to worry. It will be forgotten about tommorrow when the senate brings up whether public urination should be written as a crime against nature. You are witnessing what happens when the president is allowed to spy on anyone he chooses. All the dissenters are smacked down. Do you really think honest true blooded Americans would allow this type of incompetence to prolificate. Everyone is scared to death of these nazis. It is just about over for this country. If they are allowed to manipulate this next election, if the neo con nazis maintain power in both houses , you will truly know that a dictatorship has taken over. This election should not even be close, only 20% of Americans approve of this Congress. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the elections are fixed. How in the hell did this incompetent fool win by a majority in the last election. Everything he touches turns to shit and he still managed to get elected. And whats up w/ not even challenging these results. Spying thats whats up. They got something on every dissenter.By the way what do we do except sit on our asses in front of our pc's bitching about everything

August 5th, 2006 at 3:28 pmIt averages a whopping frigid 50 degrees F in the winter months in Iraq. Hardly a detriment for suicide bombers and planting IEDs. This is for all the asshats who agree w/ this moron.
August 5th, 2006 at 3:32 pmpurely masturbate that MF.
August 5th, 2006 at 3:34 pmRummy's just showing his ass to people for whom he has nothing but contempt.
I look forward to the arrogant prick's fall from power.
August 6th, 2006 at 2:15 amPhillyfan, I get the feeling I'm probably the only one in here who actually has been in Iraq in the winter. Trust me, it gets cold and wet AND insurgent activity goes down.
If progressives want to be taken seriously, part of the solution might be to actually know what you're talking about. One can make many, many, many criticisms of this administration's prosecution of the war. I'd be the first to make them.
But you can't come off as an incompetent, which is exactly what Think Progress did with this selection.
August 6th, 2006 at 7:10 pmYou forgot to include "unknown knowns". That's when they know that Iraq had WMDs, because they've got the receipts to prove it, but forgot to mention that most of them were deployed during the war against Iran, or destroyed during the first Gulf war (after getting the green light from Glaspie), or deteriorated during the decade of sanctions against Iraq. All of the above might establish a (barely) credible pretext for the occupation of Iraq, in order to reduce the production and consumption of petroleum and forestall an economic meltdown generated by the approach of peak oil. Of course, Israel is the wild card, with all those nukes aimed at all those oilfields, which provides it with a preferential right to exist
August 6th, 2006 at 10:53 pm[...] Did anyone catch this last week? Rumsfeld Claims Insurgent Violence Increases “In the Spring, Summer and Fall Months” [...]
