Rummy is certainly not going to fall on his sword for this mess.

That female general is!

Lighten up FRiend, this is just political backstabbing.

Rummy is in great shape, nationally and within the admin.

He does have a responsibility to assure the president that these people will be punished and that this situation will not happen again. The facts are that those changes have already been made.

The only thing left is the trial(general Courts Marshal) and that will take what time it takes. The defense has a right to discovery and the thing will take several months to set up. There are multiple perps and there will be a huge effort to get it done as soon as possible.

There is a chance however, that it will not be done before the election. That is the only thing that I see as a problem, but the American people will know and understand that the very few people who were involved are the ones to blame and punish.

From January 15th or so, when the complaint was made by one of our soldiers on this base, the military has pursued this forcibly and in a timely manner. No one could have known the effect of these pictures which never should have seen the light of day, they are evidence, and how they got out is some smelly business.

We can deal with that later.

I am not outraged. I am not even surprised. Disappointed with those guys and girls who did it, yes. Shocked they acted like they did, yes. But quite willing to wait and let the military take care of them in their way and not willing to have our President go out and apologise for something he, we, his administration and the huge majority of our military had nothing to do with.

Gezzz tex, I figured you would have dropped this last night. Apparently you're own words have come back to ring you're bell hard.

Now, do you want to make it 16? Come on Joe accuse me in your OWN words of hiring illegal aliens. Please do that Joe.

More threats? LOL! And why use my words, when you're OWN words speak loud and clear.

To: Texasforever

I also know someone that has bigger issues than illegal aliens on his mind.

Yeah, we heard, you want cheap illegal labor to mow your lawn, wash your car, and cook your meals.

People come here to express their views and opinions. Just because you're own words came back to bite you should be no reason for you to threaten people with bogus law suits and freep mail me with threats.

Just like you accusing me of hoping we lose the war in Iraq. That's absolutely false, not true and very offensive to me, as American's are actually *dying* there. But I understand that's your opinion, even though it's incorrect, and ludicrous, and I'd bet you don't believe it yourself. You only stated it because I don't march in cadence to anyone's political party, and I prefer to put country before party.

Now please, stop with the juvenile threats.

Let's hope by election day this will be over. I think Bush is caving to the Dims pressure. There was no reason to apologize, in fact it will do more harm than good.

"Are you F'n nuts?"

No, I'm not F'n nuts. This country, and the entire world, has survived all sorts of F'n calamities, wars, and brutal leaders. America survived FDR, LBJ, Carter and F'n Clinton. And, if it has too, it will survive John F'n Kerry. Nitwit.

If it was up to me, I'd bury them, dismembered, with bacon.

Us or them.

Then again, I don't lose, in a time of war.

Did you happen to catch this?

...he was unflinching in his support of Rumsfeld, whom he called back to the Pentagon in 2001 for his second tour of duty as secretary.

"He will stay in my Cabinet," the president said.

If we were really at war then Bush would have the mandate to suppress the media on issues like this in order to prevent aiding and abetting the enemy.

Are we really at war, or not ?

And if we are why doesn't Bush use the War Powers Act to stifle the media ?

I think that would just further incense the media and the left.

I want the Washington Post to release photographs of the "piles of blood" at the bottom of the Twin Towers. The bloody aftermath of those who jumped.

Why are these pictures not being shown?

Sorry, but what does that have to do with POWs in Iraq?

I think that this is a test of Bush's character. If he continues to test the wind and give way to the media then he is no better than Clinton.
