Okay you weak-kneed, left-leaning media elitists, what part of this don't you understand or comprehend? Thank goodness there are adults in charge!

[lawgirl]

RUMMY BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Give them Hell Rummy!!!

[Constitution Day]

BTTT!

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

Bump with warm regards!

[eureka!]

Memo to Clymers: Stick this in your teletype you bunch of wimpy, empty suits...

[Clintons a commie]

This guy is the best! Take this, ABC, CNN and PMSNBC! Screw you, UK leftist press!

[Blueflag]

Good read, well-said bump

[Vauss]

Yes indeed the adults are in charge, and with this statement we clearly see that our primary leaders and their major advisers (Bush, Cheney, Powell, Rumsfeld, Rice) are totally determined and focused on complete victory. As Rumsfeld says, this is about determination of the spirit. We haven't seen this for so long due to the Clinton years that some of us have forgotten what it looks like.

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

People forget that Rummy was a naval aviator. With this release, Rummy is taking it to the eunuchs in the press and telling em where to go! When is the DoD briefing. I want to see the look of the sissies as they wet their pants.

[The Vast Right Wing]

RUMP -> RUmmy buMP.

Man I like this guy, especially when a stupid presstitute asks him an incoherently stupid question and responsds with "I don't even comprehend the nature of your question, the answer seems so apparent that a third grader wouldn't ask it" or something like that.

[RippleFire]

BUMP

[goodieD]

The leftist media is pressuring the US to fight faster and harder? You know darn well that if we had gone in with a nuke and ended the thing that day, we'd get crucified by the media. Hell, we're being careful and we're still getting skewered. Screw them and the camels they rode in on.

[habs4ever]

In case the press corp had forgotten, the Rumster just told them all it isn't the Clintoon DoD anymore.I like this new sheriff named Don Rumsfeld!!

[goodieD]

BTW, Excellent speech!

[Dog Gone]

Let's see....who do I like better in this job....

This guy?

or this guy??

After the December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, it took four months before the United States responded to that attack with the Doolittle raid of April 1942.

Pardon my extreme right wing hawkishness, but after the December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, it took one day before the United States Congress responded with a formal Declaration Of War on Japan.

"... the President is hereby authorized and directed to employ the entire naval and military forces of the United States and the resources of the Government to carry on war against the Imperial Government of Japan; and, to bring the conflict to a successful termination, all of the resources of the country are hereby pledged by the Congress of the United States."

51 days after WTC, we've yet to see an equivalent from the United States Congress, and we cannot successfully fight a "war" that is not a War.

[ladtx]

Note to: CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, Washington Post, etc etc... You have just been taken to the woodshed. Too bad you're not smart enough to realize it.

[RummyChick]

Does anyone know what paper "Charlie" works for who is always allowed the first question? Watch him next time there is a briefing. He always sticks his hand up to his throat/chin and plays around with his "waddle" as he asks his questions.

[b4its2late]

Thanks. Copying, pasting and emailing. Also printing for office reading.......

[headsonpikes]

"...the projection of will..."

That is, indeed, the secret.
