Ah yes, there is wittism and truth in what Yogi says! The only laughable thing in a Bushism is at the clown who says it!

Rumsfeld: It's not Nam
Compares Iraq to early America

By RICHARD SISK
DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU




WASHINGTON - Iraq is not a quagmire for U.S. forces - or a guerrilla war - and it's nothing like Vietnam despite the mounting casualties, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld insisted yesterday.The situation in Iraq is more like the U.S. in the "period of chaos and confusion" after the American Revolution and before the adoption of the Constitution, Rumsfeld said.Rumsfeld said the aggressive sweeps and home searches by troops eventually will quell the unrest as Iraq makes the transition to democracy, but he again declined to give a timetable. Attacks that have killed at least 23 U.S. troops since President Bush's May 1 declaration of an end to major combat will "go on for some time," Rumsfeld said. "If you want to call that a quagmire, do it. I don't."

Dr Strangelove is at it again

After the American Revolution, we weren't occupied by a conquering force. Unless one is talking about the American Indians as compared to the Iraqis. Oh no, "Manifest Destiny" - USA, Middle East version is starting up.

This guy is absolutely nuts-o!

Mistrust Mixes With Misery In Heat of Baghdad

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Two soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division were killed and one was injured in an ambush Sunday when their convoy came under rocket-propelled grenade and small arms fire in northern Iraq (news - web sites), the U.S. military said.
The deaths brought to 151 the number of American soldiers killed in action since the March 20 start of the war, four more than the total killed in the 1991 Gulf war (news - web sites).
Also Sunday, a U.S. soldier was killed and two others injured when their vehicle crashed and flipped over near Baghdad International Airport, according to a statement from U.S. Central Command in Tampa, Fla.
An angry confrontation developed to the south of Baghdad, meanwhile. In the holy city of Najaf, 10,000 Shiite Muslim demonstrators were blocked by U.S. troops from entering the American headquarters. Some clerics urged demonstrators to turn back. Soldiers used Humvees to barricade the building. There were no reports of shooting or other violence.

Oh, Dys, that can't be happening.

Don't you know that George Bush has indicated that the war is over!

Well, all I can add is what I heard on the radio just now: patriotism is waning in Albuquerque...

yeah Frank, i forgot

MoDo hits the nail on the head:

What we are witnessing is how ugly it can get when control freaks start losing control. Beset by problems, the Bush team responds by attacking those who point out the problems. These linear, Manichaean managers are flailing in an ever-more-chaotic environment. They are spending $3.9 billion a month trying to keep the lid on a festering mess in Iraq, even as Afghanistan simmers.

The more Bush officials try to explain how the president made the bogus uranium claim in his State of the Union address, despite the C.I.A. red flags and the State Department warning that it was "highly dubious," the more inexplicable it seems. The list of evils the administration has not unearthed keeps getting longer ?- Osama, Saddam, W.M.D., the anthrax terrorist ?- as the deficit gets bigger ($455 billion, going to $475 billion).

After 9/11, this administration had everything going for it. Republicans ruled Congress. The president had enormously high approval ratings. Yet it overreached while trying to justify the reasons for going to war.

Even when conservatives have all the marbles, they still act as if they're under siege. Now that they are under siege, it is no time for them to act as if they're losing their marbles.
