<![CDATA[Now that Secretary of Defense has feigned caring about the troops in Iraq after it was revealed he didn’t actually sign letters of condolence to families of those killed in Iraq, I hope that he’ll come to Fort Lewis (just about a half mile from where I write this) to give his personal condolences to the families of the seven soldiers stationed there killed in the Mosul blast.
It’s a little too convenient that Rumsfeld flew into Mosul and left before all the names of the dead were revealed. Perhaps he ought to try his legendary doubletalk on the 900+ kids whose parents have been killed in Iraq. Smiling and taking cigars from Saddam’s personal stash, as he did on CNN, doesn’t cut it with a kid who will never see her mom or dad again.
Sure, he cares. He’s on a PR mission, smiling among the living. Merry Christmas, Mr. Secretary; you’re the one who got off easy.]]>
