Today's bonus post - classic Rummie. Scaring the shite out of rational people since before Vietnam was a political liability...

You'll need to scroll down to the near basement of this story to catch the buried lead. On Iraq, Rummy is entirely out of the barn and unrecoverable for the Bushies. Craziest bastard anywhere NEAR power since Alexander Haig had a cubicle in the West Wing early in Reagan's first term. No wonder so many with so much are now doing everything possible to jetison this guy with 5 years of garbage barnacled to his backside. I'll just pull that buried lead to add the emphasis to my lament. This is what Rummy said yesterday in response to a question about...oh hell, no one knows what he's saying or why anymore. Just read it and weep:

"There’s no doubt in my mind but that some of those projections we won’t make; it will be later, or even earlier in some instances. And in some cases, once we meet the projection, we may have to go back and do it again.”

Hope the progress you're making today has a handful less caveats attached. Rock on.
