Rumsfeld: Civil War In Iraq is Unlikely....
I am watching CNN right now and they asked Rumsfeld how the war could go on without the support of the American people. His reply?? "I think it will have their support". Huh?? WHY does he think that??

Freak.

1. Damn the reality based community
Civil war in Iraq isn't UNLIKELY, it's happening RIGHT NOW.

7. He hasn't been right about anything yet.
Why would he start now?

He reminds me of a guy I used to work with. Couldn't figure out a bet on a football game. Ask for his pick, and bet the opposite. You'll win a lot of money.

8. Why would anyone believe what that senile old
man has to say? He hasn't been right or honest about anything yet.

so he can write fairy tales (his memoirs). I had to edit. I'm starting to smell (I mean spell) like a Freeper.

10. WHY does he think that??
Don't forget the neocon philosophy. They are inventing history. Say something enough and it becomes true. AKA "magical thinking".

13. Is he BLIND?
no more please....I refuse to think today on how STUPID this man is.

I have no more :banghead: left in me...I am running out of steam right now on my outrage, my anger, my DISBELIEF in the amount of absolute, undeniable LIES this administration and its minions tell...AND GET AWAY WITH TELLING! NO ONE calls them on it....,MSM is IMPOTENT...should we all start sending pictures like this:

to the MSM...because they NEED TO GET ONE!

One person, can ONE person in the MSM stand up and say it? Outloud? With conviction please?

The sad thing is, probably not.

I need to lie down now.

14. Everything he has said has been wrong, why should he be right now?
Other than stating the blatantly obvious all the time or pointing out the obvious after the fact, everything he has tried to feed the American public over these past 5 1/2 years, (god has it been that long!!!) has been wrong.

He is probably the worst of the worst when it comes to trying to spin something. He can't spin, he is without spin, he's spin-less, he got no spin.

colossal failure*

16. And he thinks the war will suddenly start getting more support?
Okay, that crosses the line from wishful thinking to delusional in my book. Certainly I think we all want the best possible outcome from this ginormous clusterfuck in Iraq, and we're all looking at the situation and adjusting our hopes accordingly. Rumsfeld, however, seems to think that the war in Iraq will somehow start generating more public support the longer it goes on. Does he plan a mass resurrection of the folks killed already? Magical healings of missing limbs, organs and psyches?

Somebody put that old man in a rubber room. He's a danger to himself and others.

17. "Oh-fer" Rumsfeld gives another prediction...
This pretty much guarantees civil war. Hasn't been right yet.

18. Then why can't we leave?
Just wondering why someone didn't pose this as a follow-up question to Herr Rumsfeld.
