Rumsfeld takes aim at Iran, Russia, China

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

SINGAPORE - U.S. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld branded Iran as the world's leading terrorist nation yet hoped Tehran seriously would consider incentives from the West in exchange for suspending suspect nuclear activities.

Rumsfeld, attending an annual security conference, also took aim Saturday at Russia and China for allowing Iran's involvement in a group that he said has stated opposition to terrorism and extremists.

Iraq was on Rumsfeld's mind, too, as he expressed concern the war could alienate Muslims in Southeast Asia. Upcoming stops on his trip include Indonesia and Vietnam.

The U.S. and five other world powers decided last week to offer incentives to Iran if it gives up uranium enrichment. Under that condition, the Bush administration said it would join talks with Iran.

2. Rumsfeld is insane if he is considering war against China

(Rumsfeld) believes China will become more open about its military buildup. This issue dominated last year's military conference. He said other countries have a right to understand why China is expanding its military and there could be repercussions if China does not explain itself.

A dying empire threatens a rising power!

9. Yeah, Rumsfailed is worried all right.

He's worried about Venezuela (a "Hitler"), South American countries speaking up for themselves, he's worried about Russia, China, and naturally Iran.

Don is also beyond upset that we've been kicked out of some bases in Uzbekistan. The 'stans' are treading on shaky ground right now.

He's got deep grooves in his forehead, just thinking about it.

Face it, Don Rumsfailed. The world is moving forward IN SPITE of what you think, you dried up incompetent old man.

The fact that the US uses you as a spokesman, even worse a POLYMAKER tells me the US is on FAR shakier ground than these other countries.

33. Just another day in senseless warmongering....

Seriously, who doesn't Rumsfeld and Co. take aim at these days?

Iran as a leading terrorist nation? Doesn't he understand terrorists are not forming nation states? Quick answer: no, but he needs a scapegoat.

[President Kerry]

34. Rummy, you got no credibility even in your country, much less with the

world. But maybe you're too dumb to know it.

[oioioi]

37. RESIGN!
