A'gin Rummy

Today's American Progress Report goes apeshit on Rumsfeld. "Apeshit," of course, in the Unabridged Tassava Dictionary sense of "providing numerous powerful and substantive criticisms leading to the conclusion that Rummy needs to get fired." A sample:

Conservative columnist Bill Kristol stated the case against Rumsfeld most succinctly: "These soldiers deserve a better defense secretary than the one we have." Let's review: Rumsfeld said he knew where the WMD were, he said the conflict would not last more than six months, he downplayed the initial security vaccum in Iraq by saying "stuff happens," he asserted that we would be greeted as liberators in Iraq, he failed to properly equip the troops for the war, and then he famously said, "you go to war with the Army you have, not the Army you want."
