Thank God for Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and for his distinguished service to our country in this time of war.
We all want you to know that we enthusiastically support you and our troops!
Apparently many of these same leftists in the media and in congress were asleep during Waco, Ruby Ridge, Bosnia, the sale of sensitive missile and satellite technology to China, criminal perjury, obstruction of justice, Vince Foster’s murder, offenses against Kathleen Wiley and Juanita Broaddrick, Haiti, Monica-gate, Whitewater...
You have a rare talent for distilling a disorienting tornado of conflicting ideas down to the essentials.
The media could care less about immorality, they just want to "get Bush", and "get Rumsfeld". ...and to sell advertising, of course.
Having been in the Army, I can only imagine the position that those guards have been put in against their will. They are away from home and loved ones, unappreciated (thanks to the American media), and bored. They were trained for other occupations, but true to the long-standing military tradition of misusing all talent, were assigned as prision guards. Their Iraqi charges were incarcerated for killing Americans or wanting to, and who can blame these pi$$ed off twenty-somethings for wanting to get even with what life had dealt them?
The explanation for this behavior may be just as simple as a desire to do something to help their comrades in any way they could. Or it could be as simple as the behavior of a bored child seeking attention.
Mike pointed to a post the other day written by the former supervisor of some of those guards. I deleted it by mistake, but the supervisor said that two of the people who did these things should not have been promoted to positions of authority.
Rummy is a great man, and I'm glad to have him in charge of our armed forces.

The one thing I really appreciate about him is that he is a real person not a political butt boy.
The Big Picture is not encouraging...
If the truth be known, the AINO Democrats would have it NO other way than to have America's future combatants merely looking very pretty in their white gloves while abiding by Queensberry Rules during firefights.
Great rant. You've struck a number of targets as usual.
The Big Picture is not encouraging, is it?
As a by-product of this phony, disproportionate outrage, I expect AINO Democrats proposing that America's future combatants merely look very pretty in their white gloves while abiding by Queensberry Rules during firefights -- IF at that time they are allowed to use guns.

Amen ! Amen ! Amen !I think I will include a link to this thread in my email of support to Rumsfeld.
That should help out, I think !
Thanks for the post, the ping and to all, for the comments here !
