Creepy?

He looks a little like the preacher from Poltergeist II...

"You're all gonna die in there!"

The line works too for some.

ETA: ah...i guess he doesn't look like him, but I got the same feel...

And they say cats don't have lips. Bah!

I can say he reminds me of the Grinch without the benefit of graphics.

Why don't you post your pick for Secratary of Defense. And a short strategy as to what he or she would do given the same responsibility as Rumsfield was given under the same circumstances?

Republicans just LOOK evil.

Was this thread really necessary? I get it. You guys don't like Rumsfeld. Or the rest of this administration. Do we need 100 threads about it though?

"like" is too nice a word.

he disgusts me.

I could probably run this same exercise with Madeleine Albright, Janet Reno, or Al Sharpton...

But I'm too nice.

OK, same question for all:

Once again, a vile conservative rises up in defense of an even more vile conservative and attempts to silence well-reasoned, deep, and valid criticisms and opinions of a known scumbag, fairly offered by those of us on the left.

The revolution will be broadcast! No more war! Death to all tyrants! Up Eros, down Mars! All the best cowboys have Chinese eyes!

Either way, posting a pic with the caption of "Eww, creepy" is rather juvenile, don't you think? At least for TIO. Where's the thought-provoking, controversial discussion?

This would have been better served as a "Caption this photo" in OP.

Maybe I'm missing the point? An old, tired man who looks like an old, tired man? Umm? The secretary of defense should be grinning and cutting up at all times during a war instead of looking grim?

I don't get the point. Sorry.

Show me some pictures of Hollywood Babes caught without make-up or their hair done. Now THAT's entertainment.

You know him too, huh?

Um, my father-in-law, I mean.

Or maybe we share a father in law.

I don't think you'd want to.

unfortunately, been there done that too many times.

but here's a cliff notes version:

take a look at everything rumsfield & co have done since 9/11.

and then look at the constitution.

look at the geneva conventions.

and look at the UN Human Rights Charter.

and then follow something that doesnt break those laws and commitments and youll have someone who is actually defending this nation.

thank you.



and just in case you want to argue that the ends justify the means here's just a few of the mistakes (read blatant lies and criminal acts) he's made and done since he's been in power:

http://www.motherjones.com/bush_war_timeline/


and hows this?

In a sworn statement to the inspector general, [Lt. Gen. Randall] Schmidt described Rumsfeld as “personally involved” in the interrogation and said that the defense secretary was “talking weekly” with Miller.

Rumsfeld developed an interrogation plan that required the Gitmo detainee to “stand naked in front of a female interrogator, was accused of being a homosexual, and was forced to wear women’s underwear and to perform ‘dog tricks’ on a leash.”

http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2006/04/14/rummy/?source=whitelist

and a nice sum up quote:

According to Brig. Gen. Mark Scheid, in 2003, Rumsfeld said “he would fire the next person” who talked about the need for a post-war plan. “The secretary of defense continued to push on us that everything we write in our plan has to be the idea that we are going to go in, we’re going to take out the regime, and then we’re going to leave,” Scheid said. “We won’t stay.”



yea he's a regular war hero.

How about someone who actually has a defense background and understands things like troop strengths and body armor and preparedness and simple things like that?
