I forgot to ask you earlier - did you catch this one last week?
"It was Rove, according to UPI, who stiffed Rumsfeld in April in a Roosevelt Room meeting where Rumsfeld put the Kristol-Perle "attack Syria" proposal on the table. According to UPI, Oil-baroness Rice said, "No more wars until after the election." Rumsfeld, knowing power, immediately asked Rove, "Is that true?" Rove nodded, whereupon Rumsfeld pushed back his chair and left. The power-broker had spoken, no use arguing. "
I was on vacation last week (tamed the mighty rapids of Wyoming's Snake River) and missed this one--sounds like our Rummy, for sure though.
Thanks for this 'snip' as it bolsters the case for us palace watchers.
"Oil-baroness Rice"-- I read two weeks ago that Chevron actually named one of their tankers after her, but renamed it when she was moving to the DC.
