War Criminal Carnival!

The Hudson Institute is hosting Paul Wolfowitz talk about Doug Feith's new book.  Neither Paul nor Doug, psychotically, are at all repentant or sorry.

Wolfowitz closed his remarks with the kind of historical ignorance which dominated his entire sheep-in-wolf's clothing existence.  He said he'd never heard of an insurgency where foreigners were brought in to kill locals.  Does he smoke crack?  I don't think he does.  I think he was just born stupid.  Can you picture this "Look, we'd like your help overthrowing our oppressors, but you aren't a local, and if you killed one of the overlords, it would be a case of us bringing in outsiders to kill locals."

Were any Chechens killed in the First Chechen War?  My research shows "1,500 Dagestanis , 1,000 Georgians and Abkhazians , 500 Ingushes and 200 Azeris , as well as 300 Turks , 400 Slavs from Baltic states and Ukraine, and more than 100 Arabs and Iranians" were involved.

The French were brought in to help fight the American Revolution, and undoubtedly Americans fought with the British against them, perhaps 50,000.

I charge George Bush, Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld, Condi Rice, Colin Powell, Paul Wolfowitz and Doug Feith with a million counts of involuntary manslaughter.

Don Rumsfeld, fuckwad

No one more than Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz should be blamed for the Iraq War. They were directing D Feith and W Luti, who were also cognizant of their role. The Defense Intelligence Agency, controlled by the Secretary of Defense, and not the Director of Central Intelligence (Head of the CIA), is 80-85% of the total US intelligence budget. DCI Tenet probably made some complaints, but apparently not enough. Secretary of State C Powell wanted to fight again in al-Iraq, according to someone I heard before the Bush administration took office. It's in the last couple minutes of the 40th anniversary of Eisenhower's Military-Industrial Complex speech, which, since our elections are regularly timed, was a week before Bush took office. It was hosted by the Nation magazine.

Rumsfeld Memo HOAX!

Update (Friday, Oct 24): Looks like someone on the Editorial/OpEd pages at the NY Times saw things the way I did. I wonder why such a huge percentage of the rest of the press just bought it. I guess they are sheep! --- I can't believe that no one in the media seems to even question the legitimacy of the fully-formed sentence memo that was supposedly "leaked," authored by Donald Rumsfeld. It's just propaganda, folks, it was obviously (to me) WRITTEN TO BE LEAKED. It basically just echoes the company line, more money, more time, more bold moves, more creative thought, we need more to pacify these recalcitrant Iraqis. It's also a bit of a stab at Condoleeza Rice and, not pointedly, at President Bush for putting Rice "in charge" (without overseeing anyone) of Iraq. And not a single news agency seems to have picked up on it. This snippet from the Charleston shows JUST HOW LUDICROUS the allegation that it was really "leaked" is...

The memorandum was sent to Gen. Richard B. Myers and Gen. Peter Pace, the chairman and vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; to Paul Wolfowitz, the deputy defense secretary; and to Douglas J. Feith, the undersecretary for policy. Rumsfeld wrote that the document was a compilation of thoughts previously shared with regional combatant commanders.

Is someone actually suggesting one of those 4 guys leaked it? GET REAL! IS THERE SOMEONE OUT THERE WHO ISN'T A MORON! PLEASE DROP ME AN E-MAIL!
