Gen. Batiste: Rumsfeld ‘Served Up Our Great Military A Huge Bowl of Chicken Feces’

Today on MSNBC, retired General John Batiste — former commander of the First Infantry division in Iraq — said that it was “outrageous” Rumsfeld was still in charge of the Pentagon. Batiste added, “He served up our great military a huge bowl of chicken feces, and ever since then, our military and our country have been trying to turn this bowl into chicken salad. And it’s not working. ”

1. ouch-- that'll leave a mark....
Not that it will do much-- Rumsfeld is one of the primary insiders of the neocon administration and is untouchable, but it will certainly worsen the political situation for them a bit.

11. :Help!
What is "occipital occupant?" Head job? Little critter living in a part of one's skull? His next door neighbor iis named Parietal? I love jokes and witty constructions but I can't quite figure it out. Tnx.

12. Alliteration gone mad, I guess - his head's up his ass.
A head job.

More cerebrally, it's an allusion to his Narcissism, so named due to the 'reflection' dependency rather than some innate sense of self. (The occipatal lobe is so-named due to the functions of vision in the visual cortex located therein.)

It's my typical right-brain-fart - more symbolic and figurative than literal or rational.

6. Sorry general but the great military has been eating chicken feces
since we invaded Korea. Americas military has been abused for over 50 years.

10. Rumsfeld is on his way to Alaska as we speak.....
He must've hopped on the plane after his press conference this morning where he claimed violence is down in Iraq.

He'll be doing a big PR event with the families of the 172nd Stryker Brigade at Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks. (They're the ones that just came home, only to learn they had to head right back...) http://www.ktuu.com/cms/anmviewer.asp?a=6148&z=1

19. Batiste is a breath of fresh air.
Rumsfeld should be fired for sure, but the brunt of blame lies at the feet of the vacationing AWOL Chickenhawk zipping around on the ocean in Maine. Remember, Bush is the "decider." He`s the one responsible for the horrific mess in Iraq. Be gone, Junior!
