"Donald Rumsfeld is not a competent wartime leader"

Well, you don't say! Donald Rumsfeld isn't a good leader and has turned the Iraq war into a circus, while America's corporate whores continue to rob American's blind every day of every month since this war started? And Donald Rumsfeld has ignored the insurgency and the civil war that has ensued the illegal invasion and occupation of this sovereign nation who had nothing to do with 9/11 at all? Wow! Of course, this is not news to those who have also uttered the same questions of Rumseld for years. It doesn't take a brainsurgeon to figure out when a country is losing approximately 4,000 people in a month to bombings, torture, raping, and killing, that it's time to change the leadership of the military that started this whole mess in the first place!
The Democrats, though they don't have subpeona power or the power to hold a hearing for it to be affective, did hold a hearing yesterday anyways and gave the retired Generals a chance to voice their opinion about Donald Rumsfeld and his quagmire entitled, "The Iraq War".

Here's what retired General Batiste had to say about Rummy:

"Donald Rumsfeld is not a competent wartime leader," said Batiste, wearing a
pinstripe suit, calling himself a "lifelong Republican" and bearing a slight
resemblance to Oliver North. "He surrounds himself with like-minded and
compliant subordinates who do not grasp the importance of the principles of war,
the complexities of Iraq or the human dimension of warfare. . . . Bottom line:
His plan allowed the insurgency to take root and metastasize to where it is
today."
I remember Dr. Laura before the invasion of Iraq (and before Air America Radio hit the airwaves!) saying on her radio show that she felt very safe and confident with Donald Rumsfeld leading our military into battle. Of course, Dr. Laura is a schill for the republican party and couldn't think independently even if she tried! It does make you wonder what ole Dr. Laura was thinking when Rummy said he knew exactly where the weapons of mass destruction were by indicating they were, "...north, east, south, or west of Baghdad"!!! I bet she squealed with delight at the details. Spit.

Rumsfeld needs to be fired and kicked to the curb. He has been an absolute disaster in running this war. It's not fair that our soldiers have taken the blame for Iraq being out of control and it's not their fault that there hasn't been any leadership coming from the top. Rummy & Ding Dong in the White House say they have always listened to the Generals in the field. Poppycock! For if they had, Iraq would be a different situation than it is today.

Fire the bastards this November by electing the democrats to take control of the House and/or Senate to get the party started to hold these assholes accountable for their INACTIONS!!!

Comments:
Kay, These bastards will now try to "swift boat" every general who speaks out against Rumsfeld. They have no shame and are hell bent on turning this nation into a Theocratical Dictatorship run solely by extreme Right Wing Neoconvicts.
 
How can anyone say Rummy doesn't know what he is doing?

Didn't Rummy keep the ample supply of troops out of Iraq to prolong the war?

Didn't Rummy fire a general for saying they need 200,000 troops to win?

Didn't Rummy refuse to provide body armor and the proper gear for the troops, which costs lives?

Didn't Rummy make sure his buddy Cheney had Haliburton get all the contracts, so Cheney and friends could reap taxpayer dollars for themselves?

Didn't Rummy manage the war in such a way that it will last for years, provide Bush and friends with billions of dollars meant for reconstruction?

Doesn't it NOW look like Rummy knew what he was doing for his Bush buddies after all?
 
damn u were a busy poster this morning.

and no one saw this, it was on c-span3.. but surprise they hide this as far under the rug as they can.
 
Right on Robert! And guess what? The Fascist Pigs have 'swift boated' a few of the Generals in the past. One was a female General and even John Batiste is now saying that he decided to leave his career (he was up for 3-Stars....huge, huge promotion for him) because he felt that it was either....lose everything he has worked for or leave with his respect still intact and then show his support for our soldiers by speaking out WHEN RUMMY & OTHERS COULDN'T SMEAR HIM!

They'll smear em anyways. We have the most disrespectful bunch of thieves/criminals running our government right now. Their time is coming however. Karma is in place. They'll leave DISGRACED after the November election (that is if it isn't stolen by these asswipes!).

Pigs.....every last one of them!
 
I know Chris. When the Fascists are in charge of the country, they make sure the opposition is not heard!!! Bastards. I hate them.

But....

THE LIBERAL BLOGS ARE OUT HERE and MS. RANDI RHODES OF AIR AMERICA RADIO are talking about all of this! Today, Randi played quite a few excerpts from the democrat's hearing yesterday. You can go to Air America's website to listen to live if you want: www.therandirhodesshow.com

She's fantastic!! Randi won't let these bastards squash our voice.
 
Right you are Larry! We have to remember that Rummy & Cheney have had over a 30 year relationship and it started in the Nixon Admin. These two have always wanted to reduce the dependency on soldiers to fight wars, but instead because it's much more profitable, use high tech (including nuclear) weapons to fight them instead! Employing a few pilots to drop bombs on nations is much better they feel! Disgusting.

They're fighting a war on the cheap and it's our soldiers who are suffering. I'm sure it doesn't help their attitude when they're receiving $1200/month to risk their lives to protect American financial interests over there, while the guys at KBR and Halliburton are bringing home $100-200,000 a year tax free and doing the same gosh darn thing but with the US military protecting their asses! Morale is low and we know why.

I see a public hanging in our future......spit.
 
Rumsfeld needs to be fired and kicked to the curb.

And I hope he takes that awful Dr. Laura with him!

(Feel free to add a spit here ;-)).
 
Kay, I despise Rummy. I have been trying for like hours & hours to post a comment, but Blogger's being a 'ho, so not having much luck.
My fave Rummy the Idiot quote is this:
"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."
I always read it and say "huh?"
I'm not posting under Blogger identity, it takes too long to get on site there & log off, but it's me. Here's proof. "And here's my tribute to KayinMaine. The End."
 
Hi Hill & Pam! Thanks so much for coming on my blog today.

First, Blogger has sucked for the past couple of days. Hill, I've had trouble posting too. Also, Haloscan is taking forever to download over at Americablog, but other blogs I frequent that use it I'm not having trouble. Weird. Makes you wonder if Ablog is being watched or something. I don't know, but for some reason it takes FOREVER!!!! to refresh each page on the threads!! Pisses me off.

And? You both can use "spit" and "The End" as much as you want! I don't hold any rights to either and quite frankly if I did I would tell everyone to do it anyways! So spit all you want and every comment of truth you make about the worst and most corrupt Admin. in the history of our nation...say "The End" like you mean it with all your heart!!! I do. :-)
 
Kay, I have MORE Distain for Ronald McDumsfeld, than I even do have for either the Idiot or Dead Eye. the Secretary of Defense...IS SUPPOSED to PUT the defense of this country ahead of EVERYTHING else.

1. Party Politics

2. Personal Gain

3. Political Agendas

And McDumsfeld has put each of these ahead of the safety of the troops IN A COMBAT zone, which is DERELICTION OF DUTY, if not Criminal Negligence. (both good reasons for his leaving ASAP)

He makes snide OFF THE cuff remarks as young soldiers die because of HIS incompetence.

He undercuts Generals with decades of experience, because their MILITARY judgement demands they criticize the Moron Bush backs as Sec of Def, and His incompetent planning.

He refuses to LISTEN to advice from the very people he is supposed to rely on for advice.

The man was Gerald Fords Secretary of Defense, so HE thinks HE knows MORE THAN people who have been in the military full time since then, because he had the job for a couple of years NOT decades.

The mans Hubris is astounding, as bad as his ole buddy Dead eye's. They worked in the corrupt Nixon white house, and followed on with Ford.

Both hated the fact that Congress back then reigned in the illegalities with NEW laws.


As a former military officer...if anybody in MY command preformed as incompetently as Dumsfeld...I WOULD have relieved HIM. It would be the ONLY choice I could make FOR THE GOOD OF THE TROOPS...which after accomplishing the Mission...is the MOST important consideration a commander can have.

With the NIE revelations, combined with the boneheaded moves of Dumsfeld, HE is failing the Mission and troops. Either would be reason enough to show him the door, but their combination DEMANDS his summary dismissal.

To do otherwise would be an act of CRIMINAL NEGLECT of the military by the current commander in chief.

But criminal neglect is a good meme for the Idiot, given

Aug 6th PDB

NO response for the COLE bombing, until after 9-11

Warnings from Richard Clark and the British

The under manning of the effort to actually catch Osama.

The lies and spin for the run up to Iraq.

The Poor planning for the invasion, and NO planning for the aftermath (on ORDERS from Dumsfeld).

The purposeful ignoring of the FACTS on the ground.

NOT listening to the commanders, by intimidation of them by Dumsfeld.

and domestically

Katrina, Katrina six months on, Katrina one year later.

No port security.

No border security.

Terror threats for POLITICAL purposes.

No child left behind(from corrupt military recruiters)

Medicare part D, free drug money program for BIG Pharma

Tax cuts on top of tax cuts..which have left a 8.5 trillion debt that our children and grandchildren will get stuck with.

Deliberate non enforcement of safety regulations..which directly lead to the SAGO mine deaths.

And worst of all...

Ripping up the constitution, before wiping his ass with it.


Any one of the above would have been used by the repugs in congress to go 24-7 after Bill Clinton for incompetence and malfeasance. But they just put the ole knee pads on for the neo-cons in the white house and pentagon, and get in line.(repugs have strange ways of showing loyality)
 
Right you are Mr. Clif!!! Our troops have not been cared for at all with Rummy at the helm. The man is a disgrace to our nation and to our soldiers who put their lives on the line every day for us. It's so disgusting to me what Rummy, Dummy, and Cheney have done to our military and the reputation of it!

I hate to think that our soldiers are being used as a chain gang to do the work of wealthy men. Spit, yuck, kick a neocon in the crotch, spit, upper cut to the chin!, spit.

It makes me so freaking angry.

I would personally love to kick Rummy's ass to the curb physically. Nothing would make me happier! Not even a new kitten!!! LOL
 
Rummy is Bush's goose, that squaks when told to squak, he quacks when told to quack, and he squirts when told to squirt.

He is just like Condi. He will do anything to anyone to keep his seat on the trainwreck of destruction.
 
Clif - that was awesome!! If you don't have a blog, you should start one!

Kay - I will definitley be spitting and 'the ending' from now on ;-)!
 
Pam is now officially a "Spit Meister"!!! Woohoo Pam! Way to go! :-)
 
Hey Larry, when you say he's just like Condi, does that mean he's probably having an affair with the president, too? ;)

PS - Kay, the link to White Noise Insanity is up over at Left of Centrist.
