Some humor for your day...
RUMSFELD UPGRADES IRAQ FROM QUAGMIRE TO MORASS

Situation Disastrous But Not Catastrophic, Defense Sec’y SaysSecretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld told reporters at the Pentagon today that the conflict in Iraq had improved to the point that it could no longer be considered a quagmire and should now be thought of as a morass.

“After taking a look at what is going on there on the ground, it is my judgment that it is time to upgrade Iraq from quagmire to morass,” Mr. Rumsfeld said, adding that he was “very confident” in making the new assessment.

The Defense Secretary said that the decision to invade Iraq could no longer be considered “a boneheaded mistake of unthinkable proportions” and should now be thought of as “a colossal error we will regret for years to come.”

read the rest, it's a good laugh.

1. Morass is what we need in this hodgepodge

2. Derailment rather than train wreck? It can't be a derailment ...
Rummy said that rails wouldn't be needed and refused to send them.
