Sounds eloquent to me.
I appreciate this whole administration, all of whom need our prayers.

Dear Honorable Secretary Rumsfeld,

Having to sit in front of the worst senatorial rebrobates today is enough to make me shudder in revulsion. Sheets Byrd is salivating over "black hooded men" perhaps remembering fondly his good old days as a KKK member.

And, how can I forget that slob Ted Kennedy demanding an explanation on why wasn't the Geneva Convention used for those bastard murdering terrorists that want to kill us when he didn't even give that poor young woman, Mary Jo an ounce of Geneva Convention as she died in his crashed car, while his cowardly slimey self saved his own fat arse and hid while his family could plot a defense for this scumbag.

Too add further insult, the scheming and grasping wife of the worst and most despicable co-criminal who ever occupied the oval office sometimes naked and cavorting happily chasing young thonged intern with his cigar intent to do vaginal humiliation, dares talk about being "revulsed" just from the report. This is the woman who asked us, the American people, to move on and blamed Ken Starr for unzipping her husbands pants and sticking his penis in a the intern's mouth in our Oval Office? Humilitation, indeed.

God, how I wish all of these democrat scum were pushed out of office by the ire of the American People who have had enough of this partisan witch hunting crap and allow us to get on with the war on terrorism and defeat the murdering terrorist bastards before they have a chance to do more harm to us.

Secretary Rumsfeld give 'em hell! We are depending on you. Damn straight we are, by God!

Donald Rumsfeld should have told the Whale from Taxachusetts that the members of our military, who are involved in this issue, have shown infinitely more concern and respect for the Iraqi prisoners than Teddie showed to Mary Jo Kopechne!

[aragona]

We love you Rummy! Those weasel Democrats are racking up major bad karma. Stay strong! We pray for your continued wisdom and strength.

God Bless you.

HAVE OUR DETECTIVES REVEALED THE IDENTITY OF THE IRAQ TAPE LEAKER???
Do all clues lead to blot on American society Michael Moore as the man responsible for leaking Iraqi "torture" tapes to US and international media?
Several weeks ago Michael Moore bragged he had cameramen in his employ who were sending tapes everyday from Iraq via FedEx. He claimed these tapes were going to "tell the truth" about the situation in Iraq. Is it a coincidence that Moore claimed to be having Bush-related distribution problems with his upcoming treatment of the science fiction classic "Fahreinheit 451"
It fits perfectly within his publicity timeline and Moore's views and vows to bring Bush, Cheney, Rummy and administration. Finally, knowing President Bush would react with honor and compassion in a way that would hurt his conservative base by eventually apologizing for the actions of these soldiers and the Bush haters calling for the head of Secretary Rumsfeld.
Could Moore have believed it to be a win-win situation. Could this have been Moore's baby all along?

God bless Rummy!!

[Alamo-Girl]

Buuuump! Great letter!

[Two-Bits]

I think Donald Rumsfeld is a blessing from Heaven. My son is in the Navy and I thank God every night for President Bush, Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, and Vice President Cheney.

Rummy stay the course, this country can not survive another Democrat Viet Nam.

[GOPJ]

Rumsfeld -- a national treasure bump.

[MeekOneGOP]

Yes, I agree. If Dole were in my voting district, she would get my vote. (See
tagline, yall).

Another thing was a comment by Rumsfeld that he didn't feel his ability to run
his department was compromised and that if he felt it was, he would step down.
He made a POINT that, paraphrasing here, he would not resign for political
reasons. Take THAT, snakes, worms and vermin !

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

I may not love him but I'm extremely glad he's SECDEF.

I think he gave as good as he got yesterday on the Hill. The useful idiots are in high dungeon.

This too will pass

[MeekOneGOP]

Excellent post of Rumsfeld's background and pics there. Thank you !

[MeekOneGOP]

I love it, regardless. ;^)
