Cheney and Rummy: 31 years of listening only to each other
In case you haven’t noticed, we’re not winning in Iraq. It’s not the military’s fault, unless you fault them for not rising up, deposing Bush and Rumsfeld, and restoring the democracy that was taken from us in 2000. At any rate, the military has finally had enough, and is at least speaking out about what a boob Rumsfeld is.
An old friend, who was an actual combat soldier for years, said to me two years ago that Bush and Rumsfeld were idiots. “Anyone who’s ever been in combat would never say ‘Bring it on,’” he told me. “Anyone who’s ever been in combat wants the enemy to take it somewhere else.”
One day, Bush will wake up and realize he’s been duped by Rummy, Cheney, and the rest. Or maybe not. In the meantime, our soldiers continue to pay the price. Bush buries his mistakes. America buries its sons and daughters.
