You've all heard about the soldier who asked that highly valid question to Rumsfield about US troops not having security gear for themselves and the vehicles they drive. Did you hear what Rumsfield said to reporters today about the soldier?
I don't know what the facts are but somebody's certainly going to sit down with him and find out what he knows that they may not know, and make sure he knows what they know that he may not know, and that's a good thing. I think it's a very constructive exchange...
Let me translate:
"We will make sure that a few of our boys sit on him and find out where the hell he's been getting his information and who he's been talking to....let him know that he made a complete ass out of me in front of the world and he will never do that again because we will instruct him until he knows what we want him to know, to speak how we want him to speak, and to shit how we tell him to shit....And that is a good thing because we can't have any soldier from the slums mouthing off to his superiors. This will be a very constructive exchange."
And something must have gone down because this evening on Channel 4 news at six, they reported that the soldier may have been persuaded to ask that question by a reporter. It can't simply be a good question, can it?
