Donald Rumsfeld: Major League Asshole

[mburbank]

Good for Kristol, and I agree with everything he said.

Now if he has any balls at all (and a wolf jumping on a fallen animal doesn't need balls, just teeth) he'd follow this line of reasoning.

he just decribed Rumsfeld as incompetent , irresponsible and arrogant. The President says Rummy is doing a "marvelous Job" and when he asked him to stay on as sec. of defense, he was really glad Rummy said yes. Rummy is the civillian in charge of the Pentagon. W is the commander in cheif, responsible for Rumsfled. If the boss doesn't fire but in fact praises a manager who is incompetent , irresponsible and arrogant, that makes the boss incompetent , irresponsible and arrogant.

It's all well and good to pile on Rummy. Who doesn't like jumping up and down on a bag of shit? But every instant W keeps Rummy at his post is an instant he is not just AS bad as Rummy, he's worse.

Kristol needs to read the text of yesterdays presidential press conference. If Rummy thinks it's okay to refuse to accept responsability for anything, well you know where he gts that idea? All W told the press was "Don't ask me" "That's not my department" "I'm not going to answer that question."


So what's it going to be, conservative pundits? Now that the terrifying prospect of a Kerry presidency is over, do any of you have the nads to state the obvious, that W is doing a lousy job? Or is going after Rummy as high a standard as you care to support?

I agree, "These soldiers deserve a better defense secretary than the one we have." There's only one person who could give them what they deserve, and that's W. But I guess you go to war with the President you have.
