Rumsfeld: Army Not 'Broken'

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld yesterday strongly rejected warnings in a Pentagon-contracted study that the Iraq war risks "breaking" the U.S. Army, and he said a recent decision to scale back U.S. troop levels in Iraq did not grow out of a need to relieve the strain on American ground forces.

"The force is not broken," Rumsfeld said at a Pentagon press briefing yesterday. "I just can't imagine someone looking at the United States armed forces today and suggesting that they're close to breaking. That's just not the case."

This is hallucinatory madness. The Pentagon's own experts see what's happening quite clearly, but the civilian psychopaths running the DoD, the clueless, toy soldier neocon chickenhawks appointed by the Worst President Ever^TM, keep covering their eyes and ears in a vain attempt to deny reality. How anyone can support these people, much less shower them with glowing praise, defies all reason.
