Anyone else hear this? CNN said * will go to the Pentagon in the a.m

be briefed by Rummy and then have a press conference...sounds like a departure to me.

incredibly damaging getting ready to emerge. Videos or photos even worse than we have been led to expect. Something so dreadful that the Chimp is trying a preemptive move on a Monday morning. Unheard of for this administration.

by dogs.

incompetent than you, which, much as I think Rummy is an incompetent ass (or, perhaps more precisely, a psychotic morally bankrupt POS who's actually quite smart, just an evil fuck), imagine being told to resign by someone who is obviously, evidentally, and utterly clearly entirely incompetent at his own post. By that I mean, of course, our Idiot Freeloading Freebaser In Chief.

Anything's possible in bizarro world.

9:00am - Arrive in Iraq
10:00am - Present fake plastic turkey to troops. Photo op.
11:00am - Morale speech to troops.
1:00pm - Visit to Abu Ghraib prison with Bremer. Photo op.
3:00pm - Depart Iraq

...followed by "take nap, wake up feeling refreshed, yell at Rummy again"

geriatric stud muffin will be going anywhere. But boy would I love to be wrong.

Something is in the wind.......
:eyes:

for Mother's Day..pops told him what to do.

* makes me sick.

Do you really think he'll fire him?

I think he has a big problem, because deep down inside he knows everyone around him is smarter than him. That probably makes him easy for people like Rummy to manipulate.

Cheney will make the decision and then tell bush* to do it

Cheney will make the decision and then tell bush* to do it

:hi: see ya! In HELL!

Time to cut our losses, sez Rove. And the line will be:

"Rummy's resigned now; it was all his fault. Let's put this behind us. No need for investigations or 'politics.' Those isolated few individuals who done bad will be punished and that's all that needs to be said."

If they do it, it means they think they've got the Congress sufficiently in the bag that the hearings for a new appointee will be controlled and not allowed to get into a rehash of the whole Iraq policy.

How I read it, anyhoo.

This time to the Dominican Republic.

Maybe they'll get the official apology postcard.

When you can't stand up and apologize to the people you've harmed, why not another apology in absentia?

And I needed a good laugh!

practicing his concerned, tough leader who make the tough decisions looks. It wouldn't do to be caught smirking right now.

inside his shorts.

with the old bastard as a show of strength.

Boo$hie's gettin' a war briefing....you know where they tell him how great everything is going and to ask when they can expect to see that extra $25 billion he just requested!

about it so they can say, "See, it's all about partisanship. The Democrats want to play politics.." Personally, I don't give a damn if he stays or go but General Clark was right...it would be the patriotic thing to do. Democrat should not permit Bush to make this a Democrat vs Repub issue...if they were wise...

They are not wise. They will continue to step on it and dazzle us with busllshit all the way until November.

support for Rumsfeld, the two of them standing side by side is supposed to "tidy" everything up and stop the demands for Rummy's resignation.

He really is a fuckwit, isn't he?

There would be no better way to show he is in charge, and he's going to blow it.

Well, I am going to reserve judgment. I think he's being advised right now to fire Rummy. He would be so stupid not to do it. He needs to make a clean break, and this is the biggest move he could make in that direction.

Bush will go to the Pentagon.
They will close the door and look at the photos.
Beer and pretzels will be served.
* will enjoy seeing the pictures. Pictures are his strong suit.
He can only laugh at words because he can not read them.


He will step outside,smirk and tell CNN that "My pal Rummy is doing a "good" or "wonderful" job." Then he will say ,"I am the President and I know that he is the man that can get the job done. I am in charge and he is staying."

End of story, He will take no questions.

See you both at the Hague!:puke:

When he gets carried away, he keeps saying "Fabulous".

Weird.

Insert assorted blah blah blah thereafter.

... Wasn't that a revealing statement about W himself.

I think it might be good for Kerry if Bush does decide to keep Rummy on until the public starts howling.

Hekate

What a good idea.

ANOTHER FUCKING PHOTO OP
ANOTHER FUCKING PHOTO OP
ANOTHER FUCKING PHOTO OP
ANOTHER FUCKING PHOTO OP
ANOTHER FUCKING PHOTO OP
ANOTHER FUCKING PHOTO OP
ANOTHER FUCKING PHOTO OP
ANOTHER FUCKING PHOTO OP
ANOTHER FUCKING PHOTO OP

that's all they've ever had

If it were any legitimate business, Rummy would go to the White House, just like Defense Secretaries USUALLY do.

It's all "show," isn't it? Who CARES if he stands "shoulder to shoulder" with Rummy? That doesn't say anything to me except that they are both idiots.

Bush going to the Pentagon and then giving a press conference... sounds an awful lot like a firing.

If it's not, Bush is as big an ass as I think he is.

they can ride out this action until after the elections.

Rumsfeld should be there for every single press conference and have all the guns turned on him. He should stay there until more of the media turn.

Tumsfeld going is a cop-out and a stall and makes it easier for them to regain poll numbers.

Bad move for us.

FURIOUS BUSH DEMANDS TO SEE ALL PRISONER ABUSE PHOTOS, VIDEOS
A furious President Bush has demanded to see all photos and videos showing abuse of Iraq detainees, a senior White House source said late Sunday.

"The president was blindsided by the first TV images, he will not be blindsided again," the source, who demanded anonymity, explained to the DRUDGE REPORT.

The president has instructed Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to present him with him all known images that could further deepen the crises.


http://drudgereport.com/rcpp.htm

It looks like they don't have a VCR at the WH.

Bush just doesn't know how to use them.

They do things in the dead of night, or late Friday afternoons or Saturday mornings. They WANT to be noticed this time. It has to be to show the world shrub can sit at the adults table. "Look how presidential little shrubby is being! What a big CIC!"

In their opinion, fire Rummy and the "terraist" have won. Stay the course. No more rape rooms. They hate our freedoms. Must defeat the evildoers.

but then hey, could be a lie

on edit, have we ever heard of bush going to the pentagon or anywhere else to do work

Bush will sacrifice someone else before Rumsfield. And the best sacrifice is a big overkill sacrifice, to appease the people.

Myers, Kimmit. Someone like that, maybe. Myers was just criticized by a senator (Hagle?). May have been the setup for tomorrow.

Rumsfield and Bush will emerge and announce that Rumsfield has decided to fire x, and both Bush and Rumsfield can look like the victims.

Anyway, just another possibility.

Military, not civilian, heads will roll, and Shrub and Rumsferatu will show solidarity.

Is it too late to bring back General Shinseki? At least he had a plan...

Probably be a FAUX analysts - joining the CR should make Myers happy.

:)

I know others have pointed it out but I wanted to reiterate it because I think people are getting their hopes up.(actually, I prefer that rumsfeld stay and bring Chimp down in the elections) Chimp is going to the Pentagon to stand shoulder to shoulder with Rumsfeld, before the media and the world, in a public show of support for the demon. I actually welcome this because there are more photos coming and the growing anger for Rumsfeld's crimes will intensify. So, Chimp will have wed himself, in a grand fasion with Rumsfeld. It will be to late to fire him later because then that would make chimp A FLIP FLOPPER.

Which is what we've all come to expect from Chimpy and Co.

Cheney made news late last night by warning Americans, and Congress, essentially, to "get off Rumsfeld's back," and he even went on to call him the greatest Secretary of State, like, ever. Earlier in the week, Condi told the media that she and the President were both "strongly" behind the Secretary of Defense.

No way does Chimpy have the balls to hang Cheney and Condi, his two most loyal master/servants, in front of the press corps tomorrow.

Near the end of the article:

http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/world/ny-usprison0510,0,3358776.story?coll=ny-homepage-big-pix

Bush is expected to reiterate his support for Rumsfeld when he visits the Pentagon today for a briefing on the Iraqi conflict and other military matters.

"I'll continue to stand tall,
You can trust me,
For I promise,
I shall keep a watchful eye upon ya'll,
Ooo I love to dance a little sidestep,
Now they see me, now they don't,
I've come and gone,
AND Oooo I love to sweep around the wide step,
Cut a little swathe and lead the people on."

- "The Sidestep," The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
(Lyrics used for educational purposes only)

And I think of it every time I see Rumsfeld do his thing on tv.

I hope and pray Bush* is going to do a photo op of support for Rumsfeld. That would be sweet, because Rummy's going down, and the more it embarrasses Bush* the better.

Who was it who said on Friday that if Rumsfeld couldn't put this thing to rest by Monday, he would have to resign? I read that somewhere. And it is certainly not "at rest". Sy Hersh's appearance on tv today describing the pictures of the man bitten by dogs was devastating. He revealed that there are two different groups of pictures of two different battalions taking part in torture. He told of soldiers loosing an attack dog on confined Iraqi civilians, including women and children.

Hersh also spoke of photographs of soldiers having sex with each other. The whole thing is hideously sordid and almost beyond our capacity to take in. But it is clear that there is serious disorder, failure of training and discipline, and improper and unseemly behavior going on.

Someone must be held responsible for this, and it should be Rumsfeld.

They gotta pay me for leaving my pretzels."

The boss NEVER goes to the subordinates office to fire him! You always do that on your own turf to maintain total control.

I can't imagine why he's going to the Pentagon. I can't ever remember hearing of a President going there! All I can imagine is a photo opp, but WHY?

at the news conference * is going to claim he was shown the as yet undisclosed photos and videos and has decided their publication would harm the ability of the US to fight the war on terrorism, and then * will use his authority under the War Powers Act to censor the media and prevent their being published.

But * is about to find out that the international media is not a lap dog like the US press.

Welcome! :)

kentuck

is * supressing the photos so the American people can't see them, or to remove fuel from the rising anger in the rest of the world? I think his REAL worry are his election numbers...the fundies could care less about these Arabs being tortured,a few of the crazier nutjobs like Limbaugh are actually cheering it, but a lot of those fundy church ladies are horrified at the sexual perversion aspect of this.

Maybe the media will try to challenge the constiutionality of such an order.

thanks for the welcome Kentuck

It will be a cold day in hell when Bush's Repuke Fundie Lemmings get to see blurred anal rape photos on the Today Show.

Bush will censor the photos. I'll wager.

JB

..looking out the big front window..looking out the back...changing seats..flushing the bus toilet..pressing his nose to the window when cars passed by..napping.

..and now he's gotta go to the Pentagon.

and extra batteries for the Gameboy.

LOL

He'll be staying through the weekend. Perhaps Cheny can send over some popcorn from his undisclosed location.

Is this what caused the urgent Pentagon meet-up?

The Swiss foreign minister has summoned the United States and British ambassadors to Switzerland to demand that the two countries respect international law in the treatment of Iraqi prisoners.

so * and his thugs will tell her to MYOB. (While * is thinking "Stupid bitch can't push me around. My country is bigger than her little tiny country.")

...a press conference. He's gonna be roasted unless they hand pick every question in advance. "Mr. President! What do you think, sir: less filling or tastes great?"
