Default Can we please stop referring to the Secretary Rumsfeld as

the Secretary of Defense? There is very little defending going on these days in the military. Can we please refer to him as the Secretary of Warmaking instead? It would be more appropriate.

Thanks in advance.

I much prefer the secretary of whoremongering.

And if we had one of those...I would nominate mpFunk to be in that cabinet position.

For heaven's sake.... that's just stupid.

I suppose you feel that unless you are sitting at the border fending off hordes of Mongolians or terrorists or whatever, you're not defending your country.

Tim, I thought you were smarter than that.

How about the Secretary of Thinly Disguised and Ineffectually Planned and Executed Imperialism? Or, the Secretary of Bumbling and Catastrophic Imperialsim? Or, the Ahistorical Czar?

Most reasonable people have come to realize that preemption is morally unjustifiable. Looks like you missed the boat on that one. Oh, wait. You're not a reasonable person.

Fine. I'll put you down on the list of people who would prefer that Iran nuke Israel and then us directly before we do anything to stop them.

If disagreeing with that makes me unreasonable, so be it.

When they scrapped a program where people were convicted for crimes they hadn't commited yet by an unreliable system?

Not really.

You remember Hitler? I assume you've read some of Ahmadinejad's latest speeches and found no similarities.
