In "honor" of the tenth anniversary of "Shock and Awe," here's a little ditty I wrote back in early 2003.
RUMMY'S PLAYER
He are a drunken driver with a silver spoon
his Junker father spat into his tomcat mouth
(they is an old-time family founded on appointments,
an oily bunch of skull-and-boney schoolyard bullies).
He are no self-made man, no rocket scientist,
but just a five-to-four minority pretender,
a spastic spoiler of subject-verb agreement,
a legacy admission threatening to use
tactical atomic weapons to destroy
reinforced Iraqi bunkers underground.

When you hear the Serious People all agreeing about something, whether it's a war in Iraq or Iran, a "debt crisis," or the impending doom of Social Security—BEWARE.

And Rummy still can't admit he was wrong:
10 yrs ago began the long, difficult work of liberating 25 mil Iraqis. All who played a role in history deserve our respect & appreciation.

Rumsfeld should be tried in the Hague for war crimes!
That would be the only way that he and his ilk might ever be held accountable, given that the US elite has managed to make "liberty and justice for all" into "liberty and justice for some," as Glenn Greenwald's book title puts it.
