Just saw a John King CNN package run on our local news here in Los Angeles - about what a great time Rumsfeld is having visiting the troops in Iraq...
aka Rumsfeld trying to rescue his free-falling approval rating...
Rumsfeld starts out by telling the Troops (aka YOU in America) that the SCL "MEDIA" isn't talking about the clinics, freedom, and just plain old "good stuff" that's happened in Iraq...the tortured logic of this would have led Nazi Historians to write about how well average Germans ate under Hitler, as opposed to the life under the Weimar Republic - and leave the story of the Third Reich at that.
- How about the SUNNY WEATHER happening in California - forget the Winter Storm hitting the rest of America, that's bad news!
- How about my wealthy neighbors eating a big Christmas dinner, who wants to see a bunch of Homeless people getting fed on Skid Row?
Next we see Rumsfeld accepting a cigar that was once part of Saddam's collection. He laughs "I love that!" as he places it in his pocket...then he got a branding iron - what the fuck?
Wow - what a regular guy, he bashes the liberal media, smokes expensive cigars, and brands cattle - just like YOU!
The PR/Ad/Marketing Industry runs the WHITE HOUSE press machine, and the mainstream press eats it up...that's why Rumsfeld has his job...
He's incompetent, corrupt, and responsible for the death of our troops because he chooses to handover taxpayer money to Defense Industry Contractors over soldiers on the ground.
Merry Christmas and may Rumsfeld burn in Hell - here's hoping one day Rumsfeld will get branded by Satan while smoking Saddam's cigar...
Dedicated to those who died in Mosul - they and they're families are in our prayers tonight:
