Rumsfeld's Insanity Accurately Reflects U.S. Policy

Comment by Larry Ross, December 11, 2005

People may not be aware of how deeply the criminal neocon system of beliefs have permeated the Bush Administration. It is very pervasive, very committed, criminally insane, and convinced they are right. They have also committed themselves to the potential pre-emptive use of nuclear weapons against any non-nuclear states they decide to claim are 'suspected of having WMD and suspected of plotting to attack the U.S.'

They got away with it very easily in the case of Bush's phoney Iraq war - but only using conventional weapons. Enough American people will believe extreme claims, repeated endlessly by mass U.S. propaganda media. Believing God is on his side, Bush has faith he can make anything possible and permissible - even nuclear weapons use.

With Iraq in chaos, Bush and his neocons have laid the groundwork for doing it again - this time against Iran. No wonder Bush has placed a nut in charge of the most powerful military force in history. There is more than enough evidence to show that Bush, a born-again fundamentalist recovering alcoholic, is just as unstable and limited as Rumsfeld and his other top appointees.

As yet, there seems only to be very weak and limited opposition to Bush continuing to use history's most powerful military machine to impose his destructive delusions on the world.

Donald Rumsfeld Is Mad As a Hatter

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is mad. No, I mean seriously ill. Mentally ill. Demonstrably so.

I can't say whether or not he was mad from the start, but I can tell you with some degree of certainty that he is now. And he's getting worse. Each successive news conference he sounds more and more like the character, Dr. Charles Montague, who was head of "The Place for the Very, Very Nervous" in the 1977 Mel Brooks flick, High Anxiety.

Don got so nutty during his weekly news conference last week that Joint Chiefs head, General Pace, had to reel him in; not once, but twice. The first time was when Pace used the accepted term, "insurgents," to describe the indigenous fighters in Iraq.

Rumsfeld interrupted, waving both hands over his head, to announce that over the weekend he had had an epiphany. We've been using the wrong term entirely to describe the Iraqis killing our troops over there, he pronounced from on high. They are not "insurgents," they are "Enemies of the Legally Elected Iraqi Government," or EOLEIGs. (Guess we know now why Donald never made it as a corporate jingle writer.)

It's time for someone to tell Donald Rumsfeld, "No more fruit cup for you!"
