Right now these are private moments and private thoughts, but if things get bad enough, they'll become collective moments, and a plan will form. If'n'when our country has a military coup, it'll be one more milestone, one more thrashing of our system that's already writhing from the perversions it's suffered by the abandonment of the Constitutional and moral principles on which it was founded.

I remember thinking as I watched Zinni that 'it has been a long time since I have heard someone speak who truly has outstanding leadership qualities' [especially in contrast to current Rummy lapdog General Pace who speaks the orwellian language]. Could these Rummy critics be motivated, not only by the incompetency of civilian leadership in the Iraq fiasco, but also by the covert planning/development of anti-democracy programs designed to use the military against Americans in domestic spying, domestic propaganda, and preparedness for domestic 'police actions'?

Although I was prepared for unfavorable reports from two of his teachers, I was confronted by six teachers that had negative things to say about my son's progress. When I confronted my son with the substance of the meeting, he tried to blame the teachers. I told him that I might believe him if he had a problem with one (or maybe two) of the teachers, but with six teachers complaining, then he is the problem. Where is Rummy's mom?

I heard someone on CNN state today that Rummy will never resign and this administratiion wouldn't allow it to happen because it would be admitting failure. I may be wrong, but I don't think that Rumsfield has ever been in the military. Yes, and a word that many of them have used to describe Rummy is “arrogant”.
