Rummy Is On The March
February/03/2006 04:49 PM
Mr. President,
People may complain about the Iraq war junior, but it seems to be good for promotions in the Army. This year 97% of all eligible captains to the rank of major but unfortunately they are happening because of the large numbers of Army officers getting out of the Army at the highest rate since the Sept. 11, 2001. For example 13.8% of lieutenant colonels have left. This is the highest in more than a decade. That plus lowering the bar to allow felons and drug users could make the Army a group of incompetent officer corps and God-knows-what manning those guns.
Tie this into the fact that the U.S. Army has forced about 50,000 soldiers to continue serving after their voluntary stints ended under a policy called "stop-loss,” just goes to contradict Rummy's PR campaign. It shows how badly the Army is stretched and will further complicate efforts to attract new recruits.
Your buddies are not helping Rummy out either by bailing out. Australian Japan and even Tony are talking about pulling their troops out as soon as this summer.
Rummy has also been in the news a lot lately because of Lawrence Franklin, 59, who previously worked as one of Rummy's analysts and worked closely help to "filter out" just the right information" to support your justification to invade Iraq, in the office of the secretary of defense, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge T. S. Ellis. Franklin had pleaded guilty in October to sharing the information and also to illegally possessing classified documents. He has been tied to Iran-Contra and stove piping information for Cheney. It seems like the army is not the only ones who hires people with criminal pasts.
The separate Iraqi intelligence group Cheney set up is in the wind now but some of them like Franklin got caught anyway. It was a sweet deal. They cherry picked and distorted information they obtained from the CIA, ignored any CIA information that disagreed with the party line, then blamed the CIA afterwards for "bad information" they gave you as the "cover" you asked for start the war. After the lies were uncovered, the CIA gets the blame, gets reorganized and subjected to sign loyalty oaths as Cheney's group quietly steps out of the picture.
What's with Rummy this week? He seems to have a Hitler complex going on. He trashed Chavez at the National Press Club in Washington and said "He's a person who was elected legally, just as Adolph Hitler was elected legally, and then consolidated power...” He then described the Iraq war as the "long war," and likened al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden to Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Lenin" In psychiatric circles they may refer to this as "projecting."
As of 9:12 p.m. CST I have not received their standard "Thank you for taking time to write" automatic response.
