Strange behavior from Rummy
So, we're in the middle of the Pentagon briefing, and rummy stops the show in order to tell a story about how he walked into the Pentagon one day and noticed a years-old war plan for Iraq, and how he hadn't seen one for a long time and decided to take a look at it, and as a result he ended up calling everyone into a meeting and considering contingencies for war on Iraq.
Just like that. And it had nothing to do with 9/11, he says.
Call me a cynic, but it sounds like some sort of innoculation against Rummy's 'Sweep it all up, related and not' command on 9/12 to me.

IMHO this is innocculation for something else entirely: an Alzheimer's defense when Federal prosecutors come knocking. Rummy was so absolutely incoherent--well, maybe this, maybe not that, maybe this event wasn't on that exact day-- that even newspeople were mocking him.
Folks are getting ready to bail here. My guess for number 1 to go: Condi, who is clearly on the ragged edge of a breakdown. Method of exit: she's going to make a secret trip to Asia from which she will announce her resignation due to the fact that she has converted to Buddhism and entered a nunnery and taken a vow of silence for 27 years.

Ouch! Stubbed my damn toe! Wait, what's this here on the floor? All dusty; I'll just brush it off a bit. Hmmm... A Bible? "Never-ending Story"? No, it's "Invasion Plan for Iraq"... Well, I'll be. That gets me to thinkin'...

Rummy was just on NewsHour. He did everything but answer the questions. Not surprising is the fact that a "balanced" view was not deemed necessary to rebut his drivel.
The most interesting thing he said, in response to statements Clarke had made was, "I don't think I've ever met the man(Clarke) more than 2 or 3 times in my life"!
Rummy, in charge of defending our country, couldn't spare the time to meet with the man "in charge" of meeting the countries terrorism threats!
I guess only NeoCons and Chalabi qualify for face time.

That last poster was an imposter.
I didnt stubb my toe on the plan to invade Iraq... I was actually looking for my Necronomicon, and the plan to invade Iraq was also bound in human skin, it was an honest mistake... honest...
