Rumsfeld Finds The Scoundrels Last Refuge

Once again a Bush administration protests the media having the nerve to report the facts.

“You couldn’t tell the full story of Iwo Jima simply by listing the nearly 26,000 Americans that were casualties in a brief 40 days at Iwo Jima,” Rumsfeld said of the World War Two battle against the Japanese for the small Pacific island.

“So too, in Iraq, it’s appropriate to note not only how many Americans have been killed — and may God bless them and their families — but what they died for, or more accurately what they lived for,” Rumsfeld said in his speech at the John Hopkins University’s Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies.

Of course, the difference is we won the battle of Iwo Jima and it was clear why we fought there: they were the people who attacked us and threatened our way of life. Pretty clear cut.
