Rumsfeld says Iraq Killings Reflect Human Nature

If you click through the slide show that goes with this article you will see what George W. Bush means when he says he is a "war president." He and his friends have fun while others pay the price. It's just so very tragic and inhuman.

11. Wait until next year
after the Bush gang steals another election.

Car bombs in Houston will be the least of the problems.

Martial law will be a very ugly thing.

20. Animal Rumsfeld says U.S. Killings of Iraqis Reflect Human Nature
"We must cleanse them from the earth", he said.

He is truly a sub-humanoid type.

2. Human beings hate to be opressed.
Similar to why Americans with brains hate the Bushler mob.

15. killing people
must be Rummy's nature -

sure not mine -

I don't even wish him dead - merely in prison for the rest of his life - no parole and a guard that calls him "dollie"

7. That seems to be the excuse for every kind of evil
Edited on Tue Feb-10-04 07:30 PM by camero
including indiffference to others suffering. I'm getting shades of Ollie North's "It's always been a barbaric world" excuse for Iran/Contra.

8. More proof that Rumsfeld is an evil robot from outer space
This is all part of his plot to encourage us to kill each other off enough so he and his minions of death can take our planet in a cakewalk!

9. Not surprising from Rumsfeld.
If you exclude money, power, and killing, what else does Rumsfeld know? Not much.

14. Human beings who hate Donald Rumsfeld --
-- hate him because human beings don't like being lied to. The Iraqi human beings who hate Donald Rumsfeld hate him because they don't like their friends, families, and neighbors blown to smithereens by Rumsfeld's bombs.

Rumsfeld should have been sacked a long time ago. His legacy will be the heartless assault on a sovereign nation, the considerable damage to a culture, and the spectacular and deadly mismanagement of the subsequent occupation.

16. Some reports say over 10,000 Iraqi civilians have been killed in our
bombardment, invasion, and occupation of Iraq. I have just one question: just who's human nature do those deaths depict?

17. This says all we to know about the mentality of these people
They believe human beings are inherently evil sinners, therefore the unwashed masses need to be controlled and brought to heel by their moral "superiors" i.e. right wing Christians. It's their twisted completely undemocratic interpretation of Old Testament scripture.

19. "Bestie Mensch"
The first commandment of all right wingers of all times.
Must be what Rumsfeld says to himself, whenever he has to face himself in a mirror.
You stupid german nazi-schwein, Donald Rumsfeld, please stay in your american exile!
I'm allowed to say this, 'cause I know my buddies:-)
Hello from Germany,
Dirk

18. So for Rummy car bombs are just everyday "street crime"?
Gee, Rummy, your capacity for denial and rationalization has actually surprised me once again, and I thought that was impossible.

21. Another little cute Rumsfeld turn of a phrase
Nice, Don!

He is famous for these cute little understated quips, for which he should be tried, sentenced and boiled in oil.

Edited on Tue Feb-10-04 09:07 PM by The_Casual_Observer
With any luck, someday, if I have the spare time and nothing better to do, I might like to go and piss on his grave.

Edited on Tue Feb-10-04 09:41 PM by Mari333
Rummy is projecting his own denial outwards and trying to justify the blood on HIS dirty hands for all the dead and wounded he is responsible for..
what a total piece of shit.
