That worked so well for the Weimar Republic, didn’t it?

The real interesting thing is that the spy unit has been doing covert ops in Iran. Wonder if this could mean Bush is quietly backing down there.

Thank you for continuing to cover rummy’s part in this.
He absolutely cannot be allowed just to ride off into the sunset with a fat pension and a gratuitous medal or 2.
The world is left with this horrendous problem, and he had a huge part in producing the quagmire we all now face.

The implications of this little tidbit of information contained in Rumsfeld’s leaked memo is tremendous…especially when you consider the cost to maintain 55 military bases in a war zone.

However, my main questions revolve around the sub-contractors that Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld hired to provide services (food, water, laundry, augmented-security, etc) for members of our military stationed at these bases.

55 military bases in Iraq.

Incoming Democrats in Congress had better hold intensive and comprehensive hearings into every aspect of the Iraq debacle…including a complete accounting into the Republican, crony-run corporations to whom Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld outsourced military functions, military support services and huge amounts of U.S. taxpayer money.

55 military bases in Iraq.

Incredible.
