Donald is quacking again--this time about Iraqi corruption:
Continued corruption in Iraq could damage efforts to create a democracy there, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Tuesday, adding that it is up to the Iraqis to seize control and take more responsibility for their country.
Ah, just three years, not quite 2260 dead and 16,500 wounded soldiers, at least 30,000 or so Iraqi civilian deaths, $239 BILLION dollars, and an entire US region in ruins, from
"Free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things."
It's also a tacit admission that Operation-They've-Reduced-It-All-To-Being-About- Saving-Chickenhawk-Face is beyond damage control mode and is now...pretty much solely about saving Chickenhawk Face, i.e., dead soldiers, dead Iraqis, severely wounded news anchors, a country devastated (and a toxic cesspool) mean...
...not a goddamned thing to these assclowns. Their ONLY concern is maintaining the fiction that Mesopotamia isn't a total, long-term nightmare thanks to their incompetent meddling. So, we have Rummy announcing that "corruption"--something he knows all-too-well--threatening "Iraqi democracy," as if there's an Iraqi democracy to threaten.
Hmmm...passing the blame buck is about the only thing Team Bush really takes seriously. In turn, they've blamed 9/11 on the Clinton administration, Hurricane Katrina on Blanco and Nagin, and now their abject failure in Iraq...on the Iraqis themselves.
So much for "personal responsibility."
