3. Rumsfeld is not the top felon

His Chimperial Majesty chose Condi to manage post-occupation Iraqi affairs.

Rummy is culpable, truly, but I don't want any of these other creeps to escape responsibility and pin all the blame on him. There have been indications all along that while Rummy is bad, there are people, like Condi and Wolfowitz, who are a lot worse, and who are so bad that they make Rumsfeld himself gag, and that they have been pressuring to go to extremes beyond which he was originally prepared to go. For all his villainy, Rummy may have more in common with the amoral Colin Powell than the clearly stupid Condi and the clearly depraved and immoral Cheney, Wolfowitz, Perle and Woolsey.

Yeah, for the sake of politics in an election year, there will have to be a blood sacrifice in the WH, and they just have to find the felon who is most convenient to blame, and let the public concentrate their ire on him, and BELIEVE that a significant change has occured, when REALLY the Bushistas fully intend to continue to carry out the PNAC program.

6. So . . . should Condi get fired

Someone will need to be fired. Will it be that woman who was running the prison?

[chookie]

20. Condi SHOULD go, but won't be the one

Personally, I think Dr Rice is incompetent. We hear so much about how "smart" she is, but she is not exercising any wisdom or understanding of neither US foreign policy or the Middle East. She has made breathtaking errors of judgement. I would have sacked her ages ago.

But they can't get rid of her, because they need this bit of female African-American window-dressing. When cornered on his policies that adversely effect either of these groups, His CHimperial Majesty's defense has been to point at Condi.

Ha ha -- we hear so much wind from the RW about how affirmative action has raised blacks with poor qualifications into positions they do not deserve to occupy. And look at their Condi -- she is only where she is today because she has made a career telling the old white men what they want to hear..

They may choose Rummy for the fall. He seems to be the most dispensible.

[The Magistrate]

4. Of Course Not, Ma'am

He is far too useful a target....

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

[Catherine Vincent]

5. I did already.

But I think some of the people that voted no, would like for him to be fired.

"Yeeeeeaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!"--Howard Dean

[Pallas180]

7. Vote Yes......the no's are winning....make a statement.

:kick:

[Ficus]

8. yes

but it will be sad if his press conferences aren't able to be sung by Opera singers.

I hope Wolfowitz wouldn't get bumped up to #1. Ouch.

[AgentLadyBug]

9. isn't it strategically ok for dems to wanna keep rummy?

but isn't the idea of keeping rummy on, so that he's there in november to "poison" the ticket, a perfectly fine strategic idea?

In general, "yah, bush, keep all the idiots and incompentents on board; we'll fire the lot o' yah come november"

no?

i guess, however, there is the flip side - rummy around = our kids dying, so that's definitely not so cool.... otoh, it isn't clear that anyone else BUSH WOULD BE INCLINED TO PUT IN RUMMY'S PLACE would do any better than rummy....

i'm just not sure...

[Guaranteed]

10. Sounds like Bush is pissed.

Wouldn't be surprised if he got fired. Of course, he'd resign first.

Edited for clarity

[Guaranteed]

11. Of course Bush isn't REALLY pissed

but if that's the idea they're sending out there....

[OneBlueSky]

13. the only thing Bush is pissed about is that they got caught . . . n/t

.

[can_of_sprite]

17. That is so true.

The Bush administration only ever apologizes when they get caught. That's why they knew about this months ago and didn't do a thing about it until CBS and Seymour Hirsh.


I am putting this in all of my posts, I am sorry if it's annoying. If you read this and you want to go to a message board where you can fight with good, red-blooded, total asshole, racist, stupid, neocon fucks, go to bighuskerfan.com/phpBB2/ and argue with the people on the general discussion board. For one thing, they consider du.com a "hate site" and they're also really big on calling people unamerican. I am currently banned for being unamerican. I think you'll really enjoy it. It's free and the people are so stupid it's like shooting ducks in a barrel.

12. Should Rummy resign?

Not yes, but HELL YES!!!

[nonconformist]

14. done. 47% Yes, 53% No. nt

[JHBowden]

15. For not planning for the occupation?

Yes. For the torture, no.

[doni_georgia]

18. Wonder how many of the No's

are people who don't want him to resign, because he really should be FIRED!

[hippywife]

19. Well, I voted Yes

but No did cross my mind because I want to see them all sitting together before the ICC. :mad:

[bobbyboucher]

21. Hell no, let him waller in this mess of his own making.

It's only going to get worse, he should be held accountable, not let off the hook into semi-retirement, making millions in the private sector from the very defense contractors that he delivered billions of dollars of contracts to.
