The Madman of the Pentagon Spins OR Rumsfeld Blames Iraq War on Clinton
I turned on CNN this morning just in time to catch Pentagon madman, Donald Rumsfeld, performing his part in the Bush Administration's lastest opera entitled, "We Will Rewrite History While Accusing Everyone Else Of Rewriting History Until The Truth Disappears Entirely". Donald sputtered the spin Donald-style and marked the rhythm of his lies with the beat of his fist on the podium.
According to Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld.... Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and Madeline Albright, are responsible for America's illegal invasion of Iraq and the continuing quagmire! The (blameless) Bush Admininstration was hopelessly trapped and then tricked into blowing up Baghdad which they did reluctantly and dutifully with noble courage.
Rumsfeld, armed with cherry-picked quotes, built his case against Clinton much like the case that was constructed for the attack on Iraq by the members of the Neocon organization, Project For The New American Century. It is surprising that Rumsfeld, one of the founders of PNAC, forgot to mention the January 26th, 1998 letter sent by PNAC to President Clinton urging the removal of "Saddam Hussein's regime from power" by taking "necessary military steps to protect our vital interests in the Gulf". Mr. Rumsfeld himself signed that letter which is easily found on line. Just Google "1998 PNAC letter to Clinton" and it comes up.
Karl Rove is back on the job. This latest spin-song assult employing the catchy, oft-repeated, talking point "rewrite history" is getting plenty of news play and reeks of Rove. They are all on message singing the same tune. The "attack those who ask questions and blame it all on anyone who disagrees" White House strategy is not working this time, Baby Huey (my name for Rove). You'd better put the Secretary of Defense back in his padded cell and feed him his meds.
Donald Rumsfeld not only lobbied for the war against Iraq for over a decade prior to the strike, but within the first five hours following the attack on the Twin Towers in New York, on 9/11, he instructed his staff to find his notes that supported an invasion of Iraq. During the two weeks following the aggressive "Shock and Awe" assult on Baghdad, Rumsfeld repeatedly spoke, on camera, of expanding the military action into Syria. Iraq, Syria, and Iran have all been targeted by PNAC as the first steps toward total control of the Middle East by "The New America" and it's proxy, Israel.
Rumsfeld is also famous for generating the new torture methods being used by American interrogators and soldiers. The buck stopped at his desk. In December of 2002, Rumsfeld authorized the use of nudity, stress positions, and dogs against prisoners taken by American forces. Just imagine, now that the Geneva Conventions no longer apply, prisoners or hostages from any nation are in danger of Rumsfeld's torture methods being used against them. How would you feel if you were hooded, stripped naked, and snarling attacks dogs were held so close to your genitals that you could feel their breath on your privates? Please relay your appreciation to the Madman of the Pentagon, Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld.
All of the above information is readily available on-line. You can Google for the truth. In addition, Rep. Henry A. Waxman has collected "The Bush Administration's Public Statements on Iraq" for review on a webpage titled "Iraq on The Record". The address is as follows:

Rumsfeld was in fine fussy form this morning.....he even shushed a reporter! "Shhhh, Shhhhhh", he said, in answer to yet another direct and uncomfortable question. Hey, Rummy, we're grown-ups out here in America!
Geez, What Next..................?

Rummy has been surprisingly nutty-I remember the days when he seemed like a reasonable man, something I can honestly say I never thought about Crooked Lip.
But Jesus tells El Shrubbo every day that these are righteous men, so do not expect any change.
It reminds of me how the Administration's appologists (pundits) always dig up Clinton's rotting corpse everytime someone mentions malfeasance (Scooter, DeLay) in Republican ranks.
"Well, yeah, but Clinton did..."
Pretty sad that now the actual Administration is resorting to those tactics.
What next?
Impeachment is what's next. How could things possibly get better for this administration? It's a slippery slope to JAIL for these bastards.
Yup, Rove and Rumsfeld are in full spin mode again. Hopefully some voters have wised up and there won't be quite as many gullible Americans falling for the same shit again. (Hey, I can dream, can't I?)
JollyRoger...
I have always seen Rumsfeld as a total war-hawk nut. He loves playing at war and is closely associated with the development of weapons. Maybe he's trying to create a bigger market for "Made in the USA" weapons! (You can always get a job in America making weapons or using them!) And Cheney is as sick and twisted as any of Hitler's high command. Maybe Cheney was inspired by them.
I don't expect a lot of change but at this point we are able to slow down the amount of destruction thesse men are cabable of.
PAT...
Yep, heck WWII is probably Clinton's fault, too! Have you noticed all of the attempts to cover-up the use of White Phospherous? This Administration will do anything to get what it wants and use any type of lie or retaliation to cover their reprehensable actions when they are caught red-handed.
BRAD...You are right, IMPEACHMENT is next and hopefully jail....and make that a jail with torture!!!! Oh, I forgot...we don't torture....but we support it.... or at least we want the option.
Tom...
I'm dreaming too. I hope that some have wised up. Rove's methods are so glaring!! He's baaaaaccccckkkkkkkk!
And it's a slap in our faces. Rove has been exposed yet the Bush Administration keeps him on!
