Rummy throws in the towel

Recommended Posts

YES! One more Neocon thrown out the window. This was overdue a couple of years ago. Now, what kind of moron will replace him?

The BBC is saying Robert Gates, former head of the CIA, is who Bush wants.

Actually, Rumsfeld is pretty liberal as far as Republicans go. However, it remains that he totally sucks at running a war, so out he goes. Bye-bye Rummy, we hardly knew ye.

It was predictable because the invasion sucked in the first place. The rest was pretty much him putting his face instead of someone else. Had the elections gone somewhat differently, he would have stayed, regardless of a little more or less personal skill in management.

as a matter of fact I think it was not too long ago that bush said rummy would stay with him untill the end of his administration. I this was a pre-emptive strike to prevent major waves from the the power change in the legislate.

*edit* yeah... and there goes fox news with the brilliant "fair and balanced" reporting they do. LOL

He will forever be remembered for his delicious

Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns - the ones we don't know we don't know

While a bit awkward, it does make sense. I think his most memorable quote was this disaster:

Freedom's untidy, and free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things.

Hey, who needs to watch the news when you have Doomworld forums?

This oughta be the icing on the cake for the midterm elections. And they thought they could win by pulling the Saddam verdict out of their ass.

Nobody really gave a damn about the Saddam verdict. He's already deposed, so as far as a lot of people care, they could ship him off to some Caribbean island where he could live out the rest of his existence in luxurious house arrest. It has very little impact on the real world. Iraq's not gonna get better because of it, especially not when Saddam was calling for peace between the various sects. That'll probably just make them even more rowdy.

Did anyone ever read that thread on Something Awful where some guy was claiming to be a White House aide and posting all kinds of random secrets about the people there? I remember he said Rumsfeld had some kind of bladder problem that prevented him from ever sitting down. That's why you always see him at a stand-up desk and such. He also has some condition that makes it painful for him to laugh so if anyone makes a joke around him he kind of stares at them with a weird grin for a moment before wheezing out a creepy laugh. There were tons of other weird-ass factiods about the people there, like one of the older guys who has like psychotic-level OCD. Dunno if it was true or not, but the factoids were so random and mostly non-security breaching the fact that a couple had been rumors floating around fora bit gave a bit of credance to it all.

Oh yeah, and:

Shame he just resigned and did not kill himself. He'll be back in some shape or form. Nasty little shit.

In 1971 President Nixon said:

".. at least Rummy is tough enough" and "He's a ruthless little bastard. You can be sure of that."
