Larry...make sure you keep bashing the CINC and aiding the terrorist in any way that you can. I am sure the troops on the ground are very proud of "Americans" like you.

Trav :

I don't aid terrorists. 'Nuf Sed.

Well from where I sit, that is the only thing you are doing, and have for quite some time.

Trav :

You know, in your book, we all have to stay in lock-step with what goes on with this administration, disregarding Freedom of Speech and the Bill of Rights. >> You can call me a Nazi, a terrorist, a Commie, a Leftist, or any one of a hundred different other names. << If that floats your boat, then by all means do it. I think for myself, and I don't mind expressing my views..here or in person. I point out errors of judgment and government wrong doing, by whomever does it. As a career federal government civil servant, I know how your tax money is spent and wasted. We have done a lot of good things in Iraq, but most Iraqis want us to leave soon. We have to try to begin to see where it is all headed, and be able to engage in some sort of dialogue with each other about it, or we all lose... The above interview on the ABC news show, which you never even mentioned by the way, is very disturbing, as has been Rumsfeld's attitude all along. When I post stuff, you will not find fiery little devil icons, big red lettering, blue italics, large print fonts, or any of the other attention catching devices that some folks on here use. When was the last time I called someone on here a name ? What is the point anyway ? There is none, it is just a device to say I cannot deal with something, so here let me throw this label at you so you can deal with that instead of the original argument. Again, we are doing a lot of good things in Iraq. Our troops deserve all the kudos we can give them. But in what shape will they be in after their 6th, 8th or 10th tour ? I don't know. I hope I made myself plain enough.

P.S. : This "terrorist" will begin doing volunteer work at the Memphis VA hospital next week, 3 days a week. As veterans rights are constantly being assaulted, I want to be of help in some small way, if I can.

"On This Week, Stephanopoulos asked Rumsfeld, had he known the intelligence concerning WMDs was inaccurate, if he would have still advocated going to war with Iraq. Rumsfeld responded by stating that he was never asked. Imagine that, Bush never consulted the Secretary of Defense regarding the case for war."

Let's see if I have this right: Everyone in the previous administration, Congress and foreign governments up to early 2003 pointed to SH having WMD's. Yeh, I can see no one asking the question, I mean, after all, WMD's were the only reason for going to war.

So, who is stupid here,

Rummy for not anticipating a question that would be asked more then two years later?

Gorgeous George for using his myopic 20/20 hindsight in formulating the deep, intellectual question?

Anyone who thinks this is significant?
