From your #19:President Bush: There are some who feel like the conditions are such that they can attack us there. My answer is, bring them on.
Amen ! Bring 'em on !!!
Gotta love Donald Rumsfeld !!"Can you remind us again why this is not a quagmire?" asked one wag. "And can you tell us why you're so reluctant to say that what's going on in Iraq now is a guerrilla war?"
A fellow wag followed up. Could it be that Secretary Rumsfeld, that Gen. Richard Meyers, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, are loath to concede that Iraq has disintegrated into a guerrilla war because it "begins to bring to mind the last one that the United States had, which was Vietnam?"
"Which," the wag added, sarcastically, "I think most people can agree was not a resounding success."

Rumsfeld suffered the anti-war wags more gladly than they deserved.
Take that, Wag !!
