Will Rummy Survive?

  1. keep in mind, these same things were permitted to happen in afghanistan back in late 2001 and thru 2002 when the taliban's opponents (northern alliance) were allowed to torture the captured taliban troops, including letting them die in the desert inside locked freight cars.

    Depends how bad the next set of photos are. IMO he'll go within a month.

    This is no scandal. Imagine if there were no photos but only press reports like the following,"human-rights activist's charge that Iraqi prisoners were subjected to humiliation including nude twister and being led around on a leash by a 21yo woman." Yawn.

    Compare the "outrage" over humiliation to the massacre of 119 civilians by Lt.Calley at My Lai in 1968. This shits like a sit-com compared to woman and children being slaughtered in Nam. Neither Rummy nor anyone else in the admin will lose their job over this BS.

  7. IMO, there is no reason other than to solve a political problem that now exists for Bush's reelection.
