This man truly is criminally idiotic. Well, maybe not criminally, but indisputably anyway<\/a>:<\/p>\n

You’re surprised I’m sure. But even as President Bush was stating to the American people that “every measure has been taken to avoid war.”, his administration had already been planning ways to instigate a war with Iraq as early as December of 2001. <\/p>\n

Through the Freedom of Information Act, the National Security Archive at George Washington University has obtained notes from a meeting between then-SECDEF Donald Rumsfeld and then-CENTCOM commander General Tommy Franks in which planning for the Iraq war was underway. One of the points discussed was how to start a war with Iraq…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Are you ready for the smoking gun? OK, here goes, it is from a memo:
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, let’s work on some logical thinking. Let’s assume that dick is right, and “How start?” used in this context actually means “How can we precipitate a war with Iraq”, the first way we might do so would be to get Saddam to move against the Kurds? How the hell are we going to do that? Maybe Tony Camerino <\/a>and dicksmith could stare at goats and invade Saddam’s brain? We could harness the brain power of the collective trust of them to infiltrate the dreams of the Iraqi dictator to make him do our bidding.<\/p>\n

Now, here is a test, and you tell me what you think.<\/p>\n

In the context of this memo, “How Start?” most likely means:
\n1) How can the US start a war with Iraq? Answer: by manipulating Saddam to invade the north.
\n2) What is the most likely genesis of a war with Iraq? Answer: Saddam invades the north.
\n3) How can I start this briefing using ambiguous language so that down the road VoteVets can use tortured logic (oops, sorry for the torture reference) to assume that we are trying to start a war with iraq. Answer: “How start?”<\/p>\n

Is it *not* entirely clear that #2 is the only answer susceptible to rational interpretation?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
