such bullshit!
ok. so ... several retired generals are calling for rumsfeld's ass ... hmmmm - telling, isn't it? don't really think anything more needs to be said ... here is where you can read the story, in full.
here's another sickening tidbit ...
"The Pentagon has also found a novel way of recovering some of the $240 billion it has spent to fight its losing war in Iraq: charge soldiers for gear destroyed in battle. First Lieutenant William 'Eddie' Rebrook IV, a 25-year old West Virginian, found out about this new military income stream the hard way. He was riding in the turret of a Bradley Fighting Vehicle last year when it was hit by a roadside bomb. Rebrook's right arm was wounded and he was picked up by a Black Hawk helicopter and taken to a combat hospital in Baghdad. When he returned his gear in early this year, prior to heading home, he was ordered to pay nearly $700 for the equipment that was destroyed in the attack, including $570 for the Kevlar vest he had been wearing. Not really knowing what to do, Rebrook borrowed the money from his pals in the First Cavalry Division and paid the US Army." (Graydon Carter, "Editor's Letter" in Vanity Fair: April 2006, pp. 69-70)
and ... apparently members of the CIA get fired for leaking classified information. read about it here so, why don't those 'leakers' in the White House get fired? is this yet another example of the goddamned double standard at work here? likely ...
ok. so Osama has put out a new tape. unfortunately, a lot of what he says in this latest tape makes sense ... too bad he thinks the way to solve this issue is with bombs and using planes as weapons of mass destruction ... there must be some other way?
FOR FUCK'S SAKE! isn't there anything good going on in the world?
