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.

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!
