Rummy To Critics: Back Off Me, Man! Back Off Me! (Barf Alert)

@ 07:15 PM (80 months, 28 days ago)

The arrogance of Donald Rumsfeld comes shining through again.  I'll give him credit: at least he's consistent.

Apparently our Secretary of Defense doesn't like people criticizing him.  Today, he told critics of the Iraq war to just " just back off" when it comes to setting deadlines in Iraq.

Awww...what's wrong?  Poor baby.  Did someone hurt your feelings, Rummy?  Upset that people are finally calling you out for the miserable failure that you are; for sending our troops into harm's way without a plan to win the peace?

Well, let's make a deal here.  I'll "just back off" if you promise to: 1) resign or 2) urge Bushie to redeploy our troops so they are no longer the target in a civil war.
