More stupidity exposed - Rumsfeld wanted to turn Iraq into a laboratory for military theories
He, against the complaints of the Generals, wanted to try out the "Rumsfeld Doctrine" in Iraq which would have meant less troops securing the country, just a lot of air assault.

1. Hitler tested his weapons and military theories in Spain, aiding Franco
during the civil war.

You've got to get up early to out-Nazi the Bush Crime Family.

4. And once again, the US media would ignore the broken
and bloody bodies of the Iraqi men, women, and children that were too poor to be able to leave Iraq.

Send Rumsferatu and drop some nasty shit on his ass, please.

5. "Bombs Away LeMay"----
"My solution to the problem would be to tell them frankly that they’ve got to draw in their horns and stop their aggression, or we’re going to bomb them back into the Stone Age."
