+--- Thread: So will Rummy get shit canned? (/showthread.php?tid=8942)

Bush is in a tight spot right now....
so far there have been GROSS failures in Intel,
in apparent pre war planning,
in diplomacy
in so many areas,
and yet, no one has lost a job yet,
ponderous.

agreed, you would think after these pics were leaked - and more were leaked - that someones head wouldve been cutoff by now.

I don't think Rummy will be fired simply because it would show Bush made a bad decision having him in the first place and could hurt his re-election.
- Ken'sPen - 05-07-2004
It goes far beyond that....
Iraq has been mismanaged from the start,
not all can be put on the SofD's lap...
but.
The over reliance of Chelabi,
the underestimation of troop strength needed,
the attack on the general who pushed for more troops,
the utter lack of a postwar strategy.
and the cavalier attitude toward all the miscalculations.
- Keyser Soze - 05-07-2004
All this is true, but in the eyes of the public it would be an admission of failure on Bush's behalf to fire him.
- Ken'sPen - 05-07-2004
Which is why he won't get fired,
Bush is in a no win situation.
His failure to admit any error to date,
makes it impossible for him to fire someone based on an accumulation of fuck ups,
but if he does nothing, it is a tacit approval of incompetance.
- Keyser Soze - 05-07-2004
Its not just Bush, nobody in his administration has the ability to even acknowledge they may have made a slight miscalculation or mistake. Its pathetic actually.
- JimmyBlueEyes - 05-07-2004
It was funny listening to those people heckling him and calling for him to be tried for war crimes.
- The Jays - 05-07-2004
Ugh, who cares? The government is totally fucked, everyone hates us, we obviously suck at everything we do in this country. I'm just not in the mood to be fucking jumping up and down for joy because some douchebag got canned.
- Keyser Soze - 05-07-2004
im not happy about it, i dont derive joy from rummy having egg on his face. i just wish we had a more competent administration.
