#1 I notice the lack of mention of Saudi Arabia in Rumsfelds comments. Perhaps they are really trying to help the war on terror now.

#2 Re: #1 - Or maybe he's really, REALLY understating.

#3 There was no doubt that "the powers that be in Syria and Iran are not wishing the Iraqi people well," Rumsfeld said, adding, "Sometimes I understate for emphasis."

I disagree, Rummy. The Syrians and Iranians have been sending lots of fruit baskets to Iraq lately, heavy on the pineapples...

#4 "Lot of menace in that word"

I can imagine Darth Vader saying this: "You have been...unhelpful". Of course, Rumsfeld would deliver it with that menacing grin of his.

Not to mess with Rumsfeld. His fighting technique is very strong!

#6 "We've threfore decided to return any captured jihadis to their countries of origin - of course, sine the governments of Syria and Iran refuse us permission to land, we've been delivering them from about 15,000 feet..."

#7 "Rumsfeld in '08"

The mere possibility of that happening is probably worth a division or an air wing.

#8 Hmmmm... In 2008, Rummy will be 76 yrs old. Reagan, the oldest man thus far to take office as President, was just 17 days short of his 70th birthday on Jan 20, 1981 - and served for 8 yrs. Rummy's obviously tough as nails and seems fit as hell... Maybe, just maybe. Assuming he has no health problems / medical misadventures in the next 4 years, I'd be honored to support and vote for him. Who for Veep? Condi, perhaps?

#10 If not Condi, then Rudy Giuliani or how about Paul Bremer?

#12 Oh, this could be fun! Can you imagine the massive heartburn of Donk Party officials? Especially if Dubya sweeps... Lol! Cool idea, Jennie!

More, more!
