"Rumsfeld cites progress in Afghanistan" http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061007/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/afghanistan_rumsfeld
Isn't this like reporting on a contaminated water well by saying "The water is characteristically wet. Its fluid condition is a good sign." What do you think?

"The Taliban has taken control large parts of the countryside, more than 3,000 people have been killed in rising violence this year, and militants have been assassinating political figures, burning down schools and creating havoc with roadside bombs."
Militants are the ones killing "political figures". Now who does Rummy think these political figures are....judges, policemen? Who knows which rose colored glasses he has on today?
Are these the new Taliban or the old Muhajeden, that were our friends so long they made it into both James Bond and Ramo movies?
The denial appears to include the AP and the reporter.
Who could write and print this stuff without more questions?
Remember, this is the same administration who didn't know, two months before invading Iraq, that Sunnis and Shiites were not the same sect.
How does Rummy get away with the notion that Afghanistan is making progess when he doesn't even know that players?

People like you are of the same ilk that broke into Rumsfeld house and left threatening graffiti all over his walls.You people really need to get a life or get a gun and end it.

Let the leaders lead, give full support,
Regard with honor, hold up the fort,
The wagging tongue is a fool's pride,
Boasting ignorance, far and wide.
Tis easy to let good men fall?
A word such as yours doesn't help us at all!
They fight a good fight, though misunderstood
Often maligned, the just and the good.
Defamed and assulted by all that they do.
Denial or what? A "quiter's"spew.

Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld are now living in a hellish dreamworld of their own creation, and they seem hell-bent (pun intended) on making it worse and worse.

I thank that the Secretary of Defense knows a lot more about Afghanistan than you do.

Water is as wet as perception is as right in the mind...

I think that is a good analogy! I also think Rumsfeld is an idiot and should be removed from office!
