Comments on: Rumsfeld Shopping Memoir On Iraq Failures For ‘Large Cash Advance’ http://thinkprogress.org/2007/06/27/rumsfeld-memoir/ Thu, 26 Nov 2009 19:54:44 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Whistler http://thinkprogress.org/2007/06/27/rumsfeld-memoir/comment-page-2/#comment-3890820 Whistler Thu, 28 Jun 2007 11:42:31 +0000 http://edit.thinkprogress.org/2007/06/27/rumsfeld-memoir/#comment-3890820 Hey! Does anyone know from what location where Don Rumsfeld is authoring his memoirs that he is shopping? Guess? Right -- US Government offices in Crystal City, VA, just a few steps away from the Pentagon. WHy is that. Why is he still on the DOD payroll? Why does he still have a DOD paid staff? Who approved this? Who knows about this? Write your Congressman, Senators, and the President. If you were to "leave" your job, would you expect to be given an office, a staff and pay so that you could write your memoirs? Isn't this an abuse of taxpayers? Hey!

Looking ahead, the current administration will likely try to sell us a continuing occupation of Iraq—or an attack on Iran—in much the same way. I examine these warmongering appeals and how to counter them in a new 10-minute video entitled "Resisting the Drums of War."
