...and Donald Rummsfeld plays Chicken Little

I'm watching The Cutting Edge at the moment, and I've not really been fascinated by it so far, except for a few points about neocons, myths that countries use and so on.

And Donald Rummsfeld is one of the few men whose looks have improved with age.

Unfortunately, it's quite obvious that his ability to tell the truth about countries America considers to be an "enemy" hasn't improved with those looks. He was getting practice in for Iraq by doing the same thing with the Soviets.

Quite weirdly hilarious that they used the non-existant weapons of mass something-or-other to try to do things to the Soviet Union. Heck, they even got things wrong about things that did exist (with the air defence system and so on). The argument was that if they didn't find that it existed, it meant that it did anyway and that the Soviets were just really good at hiding it.

Lennin must be smirking in his glass coffin.

Although it's a shame that the people of Iraq are currently having to suffer through Rummsfeld making things up again. Would have been better if they'd tried to do something with crimes against humanity to oust Saddam rather than creating their own crimes against humanity catalogue to replace it.

*sigh* Silly Rummy.
