Rumseld Calls Obama the "So-Called Commander in Chief"
Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld referred to President Obama as "the so-called commander in chief" and also said Obama didn't need to seek Congressional authorization to strike Syria, The Hill reports.

Said Rumsfeld: "Now, did he need to go to Congress? No. Presidents as commander in chief have authority, but they have to behave like a commander in chief."

1. Why isn't he in prison?

why the fuck does anyone care what he says???

[GeorgeGist]

24. Those are both excellent questions.

The fact that they need answering is the punch line.

[SummerSnow]

2. Someone slap him please...

I would do it myself but I'm busy slapping Cheney

[BeyondGeography]

3. Guess he doesn't look like one either, eh Rummy?

[NuclearDem]

4. Goooooooooooooo fuck yourself, Rummy.

5. Donald, The Irrelevant ...

crawl back under your rock.

6. Still trying to manipulate Americans into siding with one of two evils.

Still trying to manipulate us into believing that the two parties are offering us a choice, when they really aren't.

It's dangerous when the country starts to wake up and realize that both the Red and Blue Teams are playing the same corporate, for-profit warmongering game. It's dangerous when the people start to unite across party against what the warmongering oligarchy wants to do. It's dangerous when the scenery starts to fall down and people realize that the warmongering is bipartisan, and that the real game isn't Red versus Blue, but the corporate neocon/neoliberal One Percent against the rest of us.

What desperate propaganda to counteract the spectacle that has united the country in disgust: the stark, ugly truth of Obama and Pelosi and Cheney and Graham and Lieberman all standing together, pushing another war for profit. It's a pathetic, transparent, manipulative attempt to make us believe, once again, that the two teams are mortal enemies instead of in collusion, so that we will rally in outraged defense around the Blue Team's BOMBS, as the lesser of two evils.

It's okay to BOMB Syria as long as we do it Obama's way.

No, you transparent warmongers. The world is on to you. We don't rally around a new war in Syria from either party.

8. phasers set to full woo

[woo me with science]

13. I knew you wouldn't like that post.

Lords and oligarchs don't like posts like that.

[LordGlenconner]

14. I actually love all of your posts

[Capt. Obvious]

7. From the "so called person who doesn't belong in prison"

[beerandjesus]

15. Perfect!

Hahahaha!

[Precisely]

9. Funny coming from a "So-called human being."

rotting from the inside

[groovedaddy]

10. Well, Rummy, at least this "so called" commander and chief

was actually elected, un-like the idiot you worked for.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

11. IOW: "Damn! He won't act like George W. Bush did and just start attacking other countries!"

Republicans can't seem to make up their minds. They threaten holy hell if he doesn't ask for their approval (for pretty much everything, including playing golf and putting his feet on the desk in the oval office) but then they get all irate and disappointed when he DOES ask for their approval. Let's just all agree that President Obama is pretty much damned if he does, damned if he doesn't no matter what he does (or doesn't do).

12. In Rummy's defense...

consider who was his Commander in Chief... it may explain why he thinks it is an honorary title

[Bake]

16. Is he still alive?

Bake

[The Second Stone]

17. Really?

This is the same Donald Rumsfeld who can be seen shaking Saddam Husein's hand?

[olddots]

18. Rumsfeld is an Ultimate Turd Maggot

he makes the world into a big turd so his maggot assed sub being can live off of it .

[JHB]

19. Say, Don, who didn't put enough troops into Iraq to maintain order...

...because doing that would have stripped away any pretense of "quick and cheap" for that neoconservative joyride you and your pals took our armed forces on?

Who lied to launch it in the first place?

Who didn't have a "plan B" if their string of unlikely assumptions about what would happen didn't pan out exactly the way their wishful thinking said it would?

Why do you think that a former so-called Secretary of Defense (rather than an actual one) you have anything worthwhile to say?

[LibGranny]

20. Rummy is fungible!

[blueknight]

21. why in the fuck

doesnt he and cheney die already? are these fuckers going to live to be 100? they all should be in fucking prison

[PennsylvaniaMatt]

22. This remark just pissed me off!

One of these men won more than 50% of the vote in both his election and his re-election...



Can't say the same about the other...he was the REAL "So Called" Commander in Chief!

[GeorgeGist]

25. Same shirt, same suit, same tie , same flag pin ...

who looks like the sap?

[msanthrope]

23. He must have been reading DU. nt

[KamaAina]

26. This Rumsfeld?

The one who's shaking hands with someone who indisputably used chemical weapons on his own people?!

[JHB]

32. And will again, in a brimstone-scented place.

[MNBrewer]

27. Fuck Rumsfeld... however, NO WAR EVEN IF RUMSFELD IS A MEANIE TOWARD PBO

[Octafish]

28. As opposed to an election thieving coke whore.

[Renew Deal]

31. What happened to Swamp Rat?

Didn't he stop posting after some big storm?

[Octafish]

34. I miss him, too.

Don't know why. One of a kind person, TOPS in every way.

[fadedrose]

29. Rumsfield doesn't know what he doesn't know

and that is unknown and knowing the unknowns is unknowable.

He's a jackass, no, sorry, jackasses are nice animals.

He's a decrepit human being who is too dumb to know how dumb he is.

[Renew Deal]

30. Rumsfeld is criticizing the president in a time of war.

Why does he hate America?
