Let Me Put It This Way. Have You Ever Heard Of Plato? Aristotle? Socrates? Morons.

Bush is keeping Rummy.

If ever you had a textbook example of A Man Wrong For The Job -- and BushCo is rife with them -- Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is it. Wrong on tactics, wrong on strategy, wrong on budget needs, wrong on troop strength, wrong on post-war circumstances, wrong on every fuckin' thing. And it's not just that he's wrong; he's arrogantly wrong.

The money quote, of course, the one that sums up everything about Rummy, BushCo, and this whole misbegotten mess we're in, is:
Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns - the ones we don't know we don't know.
God help us.


Comments:
The Rummy-Cheney team remains the remnants of the Nixon team, vainly trying to redeem the legacy lost in Vietnam. With all the same mistakes that lost that one.

OT: What, no email, Filkertom? Okay, could you drop a line my way?

Kahlil-AT-despammed-DOT-

and add a 'com' to that.

I'd like to know the state you blog from, to list in our States dorectory at The American Street.

Thanks;
