Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld yesterday demanded the "unconditional surrender" of Saddam Hussein as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff called criticism of the U.S. war plan in Iraq "bogus."

"The only thing that the coalition will discuss with this regime is their unconditional surrender," Mr. Rumsfeld told reporters at the Pentagon.

Unconditional surrender? How can that be? How can the side that's losing the war demand unconditional surrender? Hasn't Rummy been listening to the NY times, the LA Times, the Washington Post, and Peter Arnett, all of whom have revealed that the Iraqis are kicking our butts? Boy, Rummy sure is out of touch.

I think that the Iraqi's might be willing to go along with with an Unconditional surrender as long as we let them call it "A Glorious Victory" in Arabic.
