Many of his advisers at the Pentagon felt Rumsfeld never really grasped fully what the implications would be for downsizing troop numbers in Iraq too quickly.

In another leak of classified information, Reuter’s published photos of Donal Rumsfeld working undercover as a food server. Unnammed sources say Rumsfeld was personally following up on a tip that Bin Laden had been seen with Elvis eating at a military mess in Iraq. Critics of the administration immediately protested the clandestine survellance as yet another instance of a power mad grab for control by the Bush administration in a long line of illegal intrusion on US citizen privacy noting that Elvis was a US citizen. Supporters of the administration defended the warrantless search by claiming, with out supporting court documents, that Rumsfeld was just serving Christmas dinner to the troops and that any secrecy was for security purposes.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Christmas dinner voting is now counted and here are the results:
The vegetables will be mashed potatoes and corn.
The drinks will be eggnog and beer.
And the main course will be sauteed Michael Moore served by Defense Secretary Rumsfeld.

President Bush was so moved by Rumsfeld’s voluntary lunch-duty that he awarded the Secretary of Defense the Medal of Freedom. Good job Donnie!

“‘It’s yummy in your tummy, dummy,’ said Rummy,” according to Maureen Dowd, who imagines that the Secretary of Defense would call everyone in uniform stupid. Projection is a terrible thing.
“Do you want fries with that?”, asked the Secretary of Defense. “I’ve always wanted to say that,” he followed up.
“Mmm…, census taker’s liver.”
A Norman Rockwell moment, featuring someone who actually knew Norman Rockwell.
Yeah, McGehee beat me to the punch as well with his unknown unknowns.

The troops were thankful this year that Rumsfield was only “working the line” in the cafeteria. They had heard from last year that he was a Weapon of Mass Destruction when he “worked the BBQ” and served Montezuma’s Revenge.

Okay, I tried to come up with a good one for this contest; but, the more I looked at Reuter’s caption to the photo, the more PO’d I got:
1) Why the “(R)†after Rumsfeld’s name? Is this lame attempt at guilt by association really necessary? He’s not an elected official. To my knowledge, he has never even run for office as a Republican.
2) I must say I’m shocked they mentioned “Christmasâ€Â.
3) “Cut by SOME 7,000â€Â, casually brushing it off as insignificant.
4) Reuters provides the actual number of combat troop reductions, but only uses the word “increase†for the Iraqi military training expansion. Is this omission because the “increase†is not all that much, and leaving it vague makes a negative impression of what should be excellent news?
Sorry for the rant.
