Fascinating stuff. Same boring old question: did Rumsfeld ever spend a
day under fire on a battlefield? Did he ever send men into battle
knowing that some of them might be killed or maimed? Did he ever walk
through a military hospital and see what he helped commit? Has he ever
felt responsibility for anything besides maintaining his vows of
obedience to that little blow-nosed monster and to The Coronary Kid?
And now we have The Committee of the Generals. It sounds like it should
be a Marquez title. But I think at this moment of August Strindberg
(minus the helium), particularly *Miss Julie*:
Julie: A menial is a menial!
Jean: And a whore is a whore!
We *can* have it all. In these Generals we have it all. Menials and
whores together. Put "Rummy" on the air with Bill O'Reilly, the ultimate
cop-sucker.
And when did the New York Times drop its servility?
