So for Rumsfeld, Iraq today became “that place”. As in:
- “Any implication that that place needs to be peaceful and perfect before we can reduce coalition and U.S. forces would be unwise… ”
I guess that’s the kind of self-distancing locution one uses when one hates being pestered with questions about the subject at hand? Perhaps, because one has some flickerings of shame or uncertainty about one’s past decisions with regard to it?
As in this January 1998 statement:
- “I’m going to say this again. I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.”
Well, as they say: Clinton lied, and no-one died. But as for Rumsfeld and his buddies?????
Maybe “that place” will continue to haunt Rumsfeld for some time to come…
Do you think his conscience is starting to get to him?
“Do you think his conscience is starting to get to him?”
In a word, no. Sociopaths don’t have consciences.
I think that what hasn’t been commented on is Rumsfeld’s idea of democracy. What if there were riots next week in Watts, LA, for example? Should there be no voting there during November? Or what if there were huge anti-Bush protests in New York? Should NY residents then be disenfranchised?
It throws more light on the backers of this administration’s true idea of what democracy should involve. Already African-americans have been systematically disenfranchised in parts of Florida, and possibly elsewhere also. Democracy can only be valid, or legitimate, with a universal franchise.
This is a lot easier then you might think. The first time I went to a poker site, like most of you, I was very eager to get started immediately.
