Runsfeld Clears Things Up

"The Iraqi security forces are out engaged in the fight. Some are in the lead, some are working with us in tandem, others are working with us where we have the lead, and that's perfectly understandable," Rumsfeld said on ABC's "This Week."

Yet, as recently as September, Gen. George Casey, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, told senators that only one Iraqi army battalion out of ninety-six appeared capable of fighting without U.S. help. Perfectly understandable.

"We have to all have the willingness to have a free debate, but we also all have to have the willingness to understand what the effects of our words are," Rumsfeld said.

A lecture by Don Rumsfeld about the importance of what effect words have. Just when one thinks nothing this administration does or says could top what happened the day before, it yields this.

I guess stuff happens.
