If Rumsfeld is tired of Americans trying to find out what's going on with our troops overseas, he probably shouldn't have called a press conference just to tell us "more of the same."
Aside from all the politics and bickering, the worst sin that this administration has committed is its steadfast refusal to hear what anyone else has to say (or ask). Reasonable questions are barked down. Suggestions fall on deaf ears.
Listen to their Generals? Ask Shinseki if they listened to him.
They feel that simply because they're the ruling class, we should trust them implicitly, without question. We're told to have faith in their judgement, ignoring any suggestion that maybe their judgement may not be completely sound. They commit our nation's resources -- our troops, our tax dollars, our attention -- to a war in Iraq that has now devolved into a burdgeoning civil war... a civil war that our men and women are now caught in the middle of.
I've never seen an administration so defensive of its own policies. I've never seen an administration so unwilling to entertain a second opinion. (Even Bill Clinton hired a Republican William Cohen to be his Secretary of Defense.)
The American people have the right to know WHY we should support the actions of this administration.
"So you ought to just back off, take a look at it, relax, understand that it's complicated, it's difficult, that honorable people are looking on these things together."
Speaking as a US Military Veteran that served during the Gulf War, Mr. Rumsfeld, I pledge to NEVER back off. America will continue ask questions, and we don't give a damn if they're too hard for you to answer. I will not relax while my comrades are dying overseas. I will keep asking what it would take for this fiasco in Iraq to be over. You have no right to get irritated because we're exercising OUR right to question.

quite they have been talking approximately breeds of animals, no longer diverse species. Why they did no longer want their sheep corrupted by Babylonian sheep genes, I have not have been given any thought yet god seems all in favour of such issues. perchance it would corrupt the blood of the animal sacrifices. by the way, they did no longer in simple terms depart out "with", bestiality is roofed decrease than different regulations. i think it became a project with those shepherds preserving their flocks by night.

I am an inflexible con where national security is concerned, but Rumsfeld is an incompetent fool.

Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain and most fools do. Benjamin Franklin is credited with that proverb. It is amazing how it still holds true today. Old Donald was just trying to tell you that he is tired of all of this.

Yes he said the (it) word I guess he is competing against the (is) word.

The fact that the American public doesn't know all the facts about the war, I think he is justified in telling people to "back off".
