Fareed Zakaria covers the Rumsfeld memo where Rumsfeld asks his undersecretary Doug Feith to fix complex issues in four different countries in a single four sentence memo.

1. I'm sure Neocon war criminal Feith had no problem coming up with

equally simplistic military solutions to all the problems.

2. reminds me of a previous boss asking me to fix all problemswith no deadlines or priorities set

One and the same kind of boss. A-holes

[NCcoast]

3. And he gave that list to Dougles Feith....

Whom General Tommy Franks referred to as ""the f*king stupidest guy on the face of the Earth". How'd that work out for you Rummy?

4. coercive diplomacy" -------->

“We need a more coercive diplomacy with Syria and Libya… “

Doesn’t coercive come from coerce?

Isn’t coercive diplomacy the language of an invader/killer as he proved he is and is now in the process of documenting it all? How arrogant. He is a master of arrogant evil.

Correct me if I’m wrong, please.
