I'd like to hijack this thread a little, if I may.

In my previous post I was uncertain if I should post:
Rumsfeld, OFTEN in error, never in doubt - or
Rumsfeld, ALWAYS in error, never in doubt.

So I thought this would be a good time for all of you Busheviks out there (you know who you are ) to tell me:

-----------------------------------------------------------

ON WHAT HAS RUMSFELD BEEN PROVABLY RIGHT?

-----------------------------------------------------------

I'd really like to know. I can't think of even one thing, so I must be missing something.

Rummy is on record as saying that Saddam was a very bad man- he was right on that one by gosh.

I'm morally and intellectually confused... is that a bad? seems to me a much more sensible response than moral and intellectual certainty *shudder*

anyone who claims they know exactly what's going on is either lying or not very bright... (I kinda pinched that line )

I don’t know what Rumsfeld was talking about specifically, but morally and intellectually confused sounds about right to describe many of the anti-war arguments. I’ve been telling people on this board for a long time that the kind of stupid comments that the anti-war and the anti-Bush camp uses make themselves look stupid. From the pointless and childless ad hominem, like arguing that Bush is “evil” or a “terrorist,” to flat-out fantasies like arguing that a foiled terrorist attempt wasn’t a terrorist attempt all, but the evil work of Dr. Bush and his “neocon” minions. It’s not that there aren’t some good reasons to disagree with Bush or the war, but the anti-war and anti-Bush types often don’t use them, preferring instead for elaborate fallacies and fantasies. I can’t really disagree with Rumsfeld on that particular phrase.

you know when we get a bomb dropped on us or the next big terror attack I wonder if you will be singing the same tune...just keep doing what your doing and thinking what you think....

You bet I will. The irrational Bush haters do nothing but help to legitimize the bigotry and hatred against this country that drives terror attacks against us.
