Rummy goes French

US Secretary of War, Donald Rumpelstiltskin, moral midget, now sinks to quoting dead French generals on warfare. Sure, quote Napoleon Bonaparte (he was Corsican actually), but WWI general Clemenceau? Quote RumDum:

"You know from experience that in every war -- personally -- there have been mistakes and setbacks and casualties,'' he said. ''War is,'' as Clemenceau said, `A series of catastrophes that results in victory.'

Aha! It's no wonder we are suffering a 'series of catastrophes', it's part of Rummy's plan for victory! Sorry to disillusion you, Dumbsfeld, but despite Clemenceau's dictum, a series of catastrophes is more likely to lead to defeat than victory. And what does RumBum mean by "personally"? He was never personally in a war. I suppose hope is the best 'strategy' we can expect from these clowns (apologies to genuine clowns).

As for me, I think we should take the successful American general and President Grant's word on it: War is Hell. There's a plan for Rumenceau: Go to Hell (but don't take US with you).

PS Making fun of someone's name is stupid but I cannot help myself.
