And just for Casey, the WMDs-

Sure thing, UNHWildcats.

Rumsfeld is complicit if he disagreed and stayed on board to oversee the invasion. If you think it's wrong or misguided, then you throw a fit, and if you're overruled by the CiC, then you resign.

What a douche. Fucking neocon jewbag.

Bush was wrong about Iraq... No sh!t
How is that even news..?

This just in:
Earth is not the center of the Universe
(also might not be not flat)

I guess because his old teammate is throwing him under the bus, maybe that's why its news?

It is really passe, but given the trend of the times, needed to be revisited.

Carry on, 'specially Cleets...

Meanwhile, the CiC is backtracking again on his commitment to leave Iraq, adding another 500 troops to the 3,000 he already re-deployed plus another base.

US President Barack Obama is reportedly preparing to approve the deployment of more US troops to Iraq to train up local forces fighting Islamic State.
He is considering up to 500 additional troops as well as a new training base in Iraq's Anbar province, unnamed US officials were quoted as saying.

Chuckleheads!

Rummy is playing Monday morning QB and writing revisionist history to distance himself from the Iraq war and try to preserve a legacy. He was neck deep in it then, and should at least acknowledge his involvement and support at the time. That's a bit much to ask of a politician, however.

I don't disagree with your premise, G8, but, "preserve his legacy"?

"Salvage" was probably a better term.

.

What a great insight. Yeah, the weapons are either to the north, south, east or west of the Tikrit and Baghdad.

Gotta hand to hand it to our war criminals.

Bomb them to the Stone Age at taxpayer expense and then have them hire you to rebuild their country at taxpayer expense. The lower class supplies the blood and treasure and the elite psychopaths make money from both sides. Divide and conquer.

It's like history is repeating itself...again...and again...
