Where does one begin with how absurd the notion that Rumsfeld could ever be considered as the Best Defense Secretary "ever" over real American honorees such as Knox and Stimson is disturbing in the face of the disaster he has created for us now. Certainly Knox was not fired by Washington, nor was Stimson fired by Rooselvelt. Why would they be ? Why would you fire the person in charge of military operations at a time when we are in very bad trouble with a war that was declared "accomplished" nearly four years ago ? Well friends, we all know the emporer is not wearing clothes at this point but really, it should be a law that no Defense Secretary will take that office without a significant record of combat experience. Both McNamara and Rumsfeld would have been rejected if that were the case, and hundreds of thousands would have been spared their agony. But alas, the nut that uttered those absurd words of praise last week was himself a failed defense secretary with no combat experience. You see, Dick has managed to make a life for himself off the misery others, a role played countless times before by men who have not seen first hand the true hell of war up close, for only they are true warriors we need to lead the defense of this still very fine nation we call home. How could a this all be ? I'm having a nightmare that I'm in a Fox news episode. You too ? OK, wake me up now... please. How could we they have underestimated the fact that with oil averaging $65 -$70 pb over the past couple of years, that the Middle East is awash in cash, and a good portion of this absurd misbalance fuels this war - the explosives used to blow up our troops on the roads every day. You think it comes from selling honey ? Rugs ? Cut the crap. The best defense strategy we could employ would be to rip the rug right out from under them - orchestrate a massive strategy to bring down the price of oil to say back to $10 dollars a barrell. Take 25% of the "Defense" budget that has been working for us so well (sure) and put it into domestic incentives, conservation, smart and aggressive alternative programs. The we would surely have more support globally. This is something that would have been seriously considered by Stimson and Knox if they were serving us today. Take out their supply lines, right !!! OK. Now I am dreaming pleasant thoughts of eventual peace. Don't wake me please... Sunday, December 17, 2006

His endorsement of Rumsfield was a slap in the face of us citzens and the soldiers . They think we're all stuipd! Bush isn't on a listening tour once again he's seaking out those who has the same opinion he has. To at least look like he has sucess in Iraq he's finally realized we need to either send more troops or bring them home . Its totally to late. Years to late.
