SOS CDQ: Rummy on the Titanic
FEARLESS LEADER g.w. Bush has so got the back of his main war-man, The Rumsfeld.
"Secretary Rumsfeld's energetic and steady leadership is exactly what is needed at this critical period."
[Cultural interlude, to demonstrate that MoB isn't entirely a hard-edged agitpolitsite.
His nickname is "Rummy." Wasn't that the name of Walter Brennan's pickled character in To Have and Have Not, featuring Bogart, Bacall, and Hoagy Carmichael?
Brennan: "Ya ever been stung by a dead bee?"
Bacall: "No, have you?"
Brennan: "She's all right."
We (k)now return to our regularly scheduled programming.]
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't The Rummy ignore expert opinion telling him 3 times his optimal military force would be needed to conquer and PACIFY Iraq?
Isn't this The Rummy who, when confronted with the nihilism and looting caused by a lack of US Empire troops, which was his idea, said: "Stuff happens."
[The Rummy: [said in a mournful and reproachful tone] you were a peace-time US Navy fighter-driver. An old Salt(ine). Why had you not the guts to say: "Shit happens; get over it."]
Today is the anniversary of the sinking of the Tintanic in 1912.
God grant us "energetic and steady leadership," straight to the Rummy bottom of the sea.
Happens.

"Stuff Happens" play sears Rumsfeld
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A play that skewers U.S. Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld as arrogant and war-mad has opened to a largely favourable welcome in New York this week, even as former generals turn against him in Washington.
In "Stuff Happens," by playwright David Hare, Rumsfeld is described as a "velociraptor" and at one point his character says "I could eat a baby through the bars of a crib."
The growing number of retired U.S. generals who have called for his ouster has not gone that far describing Rumsfeld, but the arrogance and failure to heed military advisers that they accuse him of are given dramatic life in Hare's play.

"The play superbly captures the decision making, manipulations and miscalculations that have by now been thoroughly documented," the New York Post said in its review of the play.
