Kiss Your Rumsfeld Goodbye!
I mentioned on the other blog that I don't like talking politics, but I'm making an exception today. After all, it's not every week that one of America's Greatest Villians removes himself from office.
Donald Rumsfeld was a villian's villian. He had his own goals, his own agendas, and he didn't care who got hurt in the accomplishment of those goals. He was one of the pointmen for selling Congress and the American people the Iraq War, use Lies, Fear, and good old fashioned Paranoia to convince the good citizens of our pretty damn good country to jump in feet first into the most ill advised war since Vietnam. The joke, of course, is that we won the war without any real trouble and a minimum of casulties. It's been the occupation and restructuring of Iraq that's led to the slaughter of more US Troops and Iraqui citizens than I'd care to count. And yet, time and time again Rumsfeld's told us to stay the course or the terrorists win. Bet he wouldn't think that if he had to drive a Humvee through the Desert while continuously being on the lookout for RPGs or crazy guys with bombs strapped to em...
And the worst part is, Rumsfeld's paranoiac warmonger may be the LEAST of his crimes. There's been a certain degree of evidence pop up that suggests that old Rummy's been planning an invasion of the Middle East long before 9-11 (which, as we all know now had absolutely nothing to do with Iraq). If this is true (and there's a part of me that almost hopes it's not, cause I don't wanna accept that someone could be this evil) then Rumsfeld isn't just a Villian. He's a damn Supervillian.
Is it a bit of an anticlimax that he just resigned out of the blue? Maybe. But who cares? A win is a win. Personally, I'm gonna try to set a little time aside this weekend to celebrate the departure of one of the nastiest bastards to set foot in the White House. Woo-Hoo!
