From Maureen Dowd's column...

After leading the charge for months that there were ties between Iraq and Al Qaeda, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld chastised the media yesterday for expecting dramatic, explicit evidence from Mr. Powell. "The fixation on a smoking gun is fascinating to me," he said impatiently, adding: "You all . . . have been watching `L.A. Law' or something too much."

And this...
Rumsfeld says "no sane person" wants to see nukes used in Iraq

They really should change the name back to Secretary of War just for ol' Rummy.

Somehow, i think that title would fit Mr. Rumsfeld very well.

he should visit the forum and see all the insane people here ;)




Rumsfeld reminded the committee members, many serving for the first time on the panel, that the United States does not have a "no first-use policy" when it comes to nuclear weapons. In fact, the United State's long-standing policy is to reserve the right to respond with nuclear weapons if the United States or its allies are attacked with weapons of mass destruction or overwhelming conventional forces.

The DPRKrackjeads should take notice.
