Rumsfeld urged major shift in Iraq before resignation (?)
BUSH: ''RECENT VIOLENCE IN IRAQ HAS BEEN UNSETTLING''
Comment: We all know Donald Rumsfeld is one of the worst war criminals on earth - [http://tinyurl.com/uekcc] - and it's quite disgusting to read his advise concerning the own atrocities. 'The major shift' meaning sending still more troops? War 'architect' Rumsfeld - who is the bad genius and global looser behind the illegal invasion of Iraq too (the 'cakewalk...) now sounds like Napoleon the evening before Waterloo or Hitler during the lost battle of Stalingrad: blame the loss and crimes against humanity of the 'empire' on the others. And sacrifice more troops because the occupation forces are, as Rumsfeld complains: "not working well enough or fast enough"? For whom? And the next stage is calling up all reserves and military draft for enforced brainwash of everybody between 18 and whatever? To make them junta defenders and killers too?
Rumsfeld is the man who 'took the gloves off' the US junta's war machine and among many bad things made medieval torture a US law. Not giving a damn about the fact that US mercenaries also may be tortured now, getting cookies of their own mortal dough more than ever. But the US junta with Rumsfeld's clique keeps dancing on the graves in Iraq alone of an estimated 655.000 victims of their barbary, and they laugh all the way to the bank. (of England).
The fact that the 'secret memo' some hours ago was published on the Internet website of 'The New York Times' - one of the US junta's worst pro war megaphones - ought to say enough. The US 'empire' still needs and keeps the oil while robbing all and everybody of lives and $billions. The Washington junta has turned the US into an open 'evil empire' - [http://tinyurl.com/hvtxo]
With all 'mean means' the US junta with illegal and criminal assistance from NATO's and other mercenaries is fighting the 'Russian Bear' and 'Chinese Dragon' in their quest for global hegemony concerning resources, and thus power and profit. A significant shift in the US junta's strategy on Iraq' is hardly expected. And even if the CIA says that neighboring Iran has no nuclear weapon technique nor aspirations, the 'Bush administration' keeps warmongering for the Iranian oil too. - [CIA/Iran - http://tinyurl.com/yc8fu6]
The US junta's Mammon-Moloch will go on until it's stopped and 'killed' in it's tracks because their robbery/slavery system must be changed. It represents sheer misery for 90% of the world's population and has no human face. And when 'they' all want us to look in the direction of Iraq, look behind your back where the US junta - with the usual Dutch collaboration* - is trying to get Venezuela (Chavez again elected today*) which they see as a real danger concerning their ghoulish greedy 'empire'. - HR
RUMSFELD URGED MAJOR SHIFT IN IRAQ BEFORE RESIGNATION
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 (Xinhua) - Donald Rumsfeld called for major changes in the Bush administration's strategy in Iraq before he resigned as U.S. defense secretary last month, The New York Times reported on Saturday
"In my view it is time for a major adjustment. Clearly, what U.S. forces are currently doing in Iraq is not working well enough or fast enough," Rumsfeld was quoted as saying in his classified memo dated Nov. 6.
The memo, whose authenticity was confirmed by the Pentagon, was posted by The New York Times on its Internet website on Saturday evening.
Rumsfeld, the oldest ever to serve as defense secretary as well as the youngest defense chief when appointed by former President Gerald Ford in 1975, had been a target of criticism for the U.S. conduct in the Iraq war and the treatment of detainees in U.S. military custody.
His memo puts more weight on the calls urging the Bush administration to make a significant shift in its strategy on Iraq.
Also on Saturday, U.S. President George W. Bush admitted in a radio address the prickly problems his government is faced with in Iraq, saying: "I recognize that the recent violence in Iraq has been unsettling."
"The work ahead will not be easy, yet by helping Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki strengthen Iraq's democratic institutions and promote national reconciliation, our military leaders and diplomats can help put Iraq on a solid path to liberty and democracy," Bush said.
On Nov. 8 when he announced Rumsfeld's resignation, Bush said it was time for a change in Iraq as the U.S. policy in Iraq was "not working well enough, fast enough," which in large part echoed what Mr. Rumsfeld pointed out in his memo.
