Rumsfeld’s Folly

Keith Olbermann did a pretty good imitation of Edward R Murrow the other day on his MSNBC Countdown.  His take down of Rumsfeld was exquisite.  Here’s more evidence that mainstream media types  are getting the picture.

This Minneapolis Star Tribune article makes excellent points and is much more civil than I could ever be when discussing the pieces of shit running our governemnt.  (See what I mean).  Two of those points deserve a highlight.  If Rumsfeld is honest about the World War II level threat of the terrorists , then he should call for a universal military draft and a real war against terrorists instead of carrying the Bush family’s water in Iraq.  Since he won’t do that, he’s just carrying more Bush family water in engaging in Rovian politics.  

Rumsfeld has no integrity towards his office as Sec’y of Defense and he must go.  Of course he won’t because he, as Olbermann so eloquently put it, is the Harold McMillan clone, the one whose arrogance and imcompetence, along with Bush and Cheney and their cronies, have put our country in moral and physical danger.
