Ongoing now....

[Keith]

Rummy Rox!

[Keith]

"Paramilitary forces seemed determined to die for this regime. We intend to accomodate them."

[flashbunny]

Wow. Note to Syria: You just made the list.

[Arkinsaw]

We will hold the government of Syria responsible for shipments of night vision goggles. The United States views these acts as HOSTILE.

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

Just sent a shot across Syria's bow.

[dfwgator]

We've intended to go to war with Syria all along, it's Disneyland for terrorists. Now we can put our troops right on their border.

[Keith]

yes, I would expect them to feel the heat almost immediately.

[rpierce]

Sec. Rumsfeld just threw down the gauntlet wrt Syria. It was clear as a bell. The Syrian government will be held responsible for any military assistance and it will be treated as a hostile act. (Maybe he can take a turn at Sec. of State after this is all over ;)

Gotta love this guy. Good job.

Aaaah, "hellfire missile", one of my favorite war phrases. The other one is "carpet bombing".

[bolobaby]

A Predator delivered that missile. If they can fly Predators over Baghdad, I think we can guarantee that Baghdad's air defense systems is pretty much done.

Bashir Assad's jaw just dropped.

Now the little weasel has a chin.

[Keith]

first video I have seen from a predator...nice way to take out a dish in a parking lot. hehe.

[Keith]

"If they can fly Predators over Baghdad, I think we can guarantee that Baghdad's air defense systems is pretty much done."

yes...that is also why the buffs are now flying over Baghdad...SAM is no more...hehe.

[hispanarepublicana]

Rummy: "headlines that don't fit articles" ROFLOL!

[LizardQueen]

What about stuff the Russians sent (or is it Russian stuff coming through Syria?)? We don't have the resources to take on the entire world, so I hope we're limiting who's bow we shoot across to nations we can successfully take on while we're engaged in Iraq.

[hispanarepublicana]

I keep waiting for Rummy to stare for a minute at the press (that squint through his glasses the way he does), and ask, "Can any of you people pour pi55 out of a boot? Did your mother have any children that lived? Are you people for real?"

[A Texan]

Rudy and Rummy in '08

[rpierce]

Ouch! Did he just dis' Gen. Wallace like I think he did?

[When asked about Gen. Wallace's remarks about unexpected foes] "Seems to me anyone that has read Amnesty Intl. reports would have been prepared for this kind of combatant... (rough transcript from memory)

!

[x1stcav]

Why should somebody, with the responsibility on his shoulders that Rummy has, have to put up with such silly, inane, banal, etc. questioning? These reporters are idiots.

[Tennessee_Bob]

These reporters are idiots.

I always thought that went without saying.
