Ugh, Rumsfeld's Back

Freed from the surgical muzzle placed on him after he said that if 3/4 of Iraq voted in elections, then "so be it," Donald "Grumpy Old Man" Rumsfeld is back, giving press conferences.  Remember when, during the invasion phase, the press corps swooned to hear this guy bloviate on about things like "We know where the WMD are, it's in the area around Tikrit, somewhere to the north, south, east or west"?

Well, here's something just as dumb.

A reporter asked, "Do you think this incursion into Falluja will be the tipping point for the insurgency, or do you think there will be many other incursions as the insurgents move from place to place."  And with a straight face, Rummy said, "We've already answered that question.  First, we don't know the answer..."

The answer is that there's no answer.  And that should be good enough for you.  Welcome to the brave new world, cats and kitties.  Welcome to the end of accountability.
