    Who would take advice from him anyway? He’s a complete failure.

    #2: Dammit, that’s exactly what I was gonna post.

    Advice, uh, you don’t always go in to the job of Sec. Of Def. with the advice you want, just the advice you have.

    That’s a bitter man…..ok, that’s ok.

    Oh, Robert Gates, you gun and drug runner. You founder of mujahadins all across asia who later became al qeada. You’re perfect for the job. Thank god all those liberal senators voted for you. Even our good pal Russ Feingold, can you believe it? Can you believe that Santorum voted against this guy? Russ, you shoulda called this monkey out. You didn’t. I am very disappointed in you.

    Shame on you Senate. AGAIN.

    Jake, who was the other Senator who voted against Gates? I remember thinking that Santorum and whoever it was made an odd couple.

    Ouch, Rummy. You got the short straw, that’s for sure. Of course it was your fault for burning the broom in the first place…

    Donald, Donald, Donald…

    Bush lied his way into Eye-rack, but he seems to be having trouble lying his way out of Eye-rack…

    One of these days the Iraqis are going to get really pissed off at having a bunch of foreign-speaking, foreign-religioning foreigners occupying their country. The foreign-run green zone and the twelve giant foreign-run military bases may become thirteen Little Big Horns…

    Back in 1776, the mad King George the Third of England wanted to achieve “victory” and “complete the mission” in colonial North America, but he became bogged down with fighting the French on several other fronts. Our very own mad King George will be facing his own set of problems: 1. a repeal of the 2002 Resolution to Authorize the use of force in Iraq, 2. a cut-off of funding for the war on the Iraqi people and 3. Impeachment, Trial, Conviction and Removal from Office.

    Cheers.

    Rumsfeld’s advise to Gates:

    “You go to war with the Secretary of Defense you have, not the one you wish you had.”

    Awwww, come on Rummy, you can at least tell him to go fack or shat himself?
