Given today's techno age, if Rummy said it they should be able to give date, time if not audio. They can't do it. This will go down as urban legend.

Q & A now. HelenHag is strictly WH. This is Camp David. Too much of a wilderness for her.

Plus he emphasized that the Iraqi people need to know this. We will fight however long it takes to win. We will remove Saddam Hussein, and liberate Iraq, and we will take however long it takes for victory.

Pres. Bush first US president to commit to a 2 state Israel/Palestine solution---Blair quote

Would that be a slam at Clinton?

No, Rummy didn't. The media and their retired "experts" made up this idea that we could waltz in there and take over a country in a few days. Now the press is upset that the real world is not living up to their nintendo view of things. Media expected a sanitized war where Iraqi people embrace us as liberators and the Republican Guards throw their hands up and surrender. Since it is not quite turning out that way it must be the military's fault, right? (sarcasm)

I also disagree that S&A has failed. Who ever said that the result of that would be that the whole gov't would immediately fold? Not Rummy or Franks or Bush, I assure you. They have maintained from day one this would be a longer conflict than some believed.

Really, there are indications that large parts of the Iraqi military have folded and we have not had to deal with the entire "might" of the Iraqis, and if there were some way to get rid of the thugs in the military/paramilitary who have shown themselves willing to slay their own comrades-in-arms, many more would have folded. To maintain that this is not an act of this play just waiting in the wings for now is premature.

But then, I've always been an incurable optimist of the "Polyanna" degree...

It's feared that Helen might follow her genetic programming and run snorting, off into the woods.

It's quieting down a lot now - it's difficult to discern the horizon, except for the intermittant flashes from ordinance going off. Still now sound.
