The Bitter Tears of Donald von Rumsfeldt 

Reuters via WaPp:

"Terrorists studied...instances when the United States was dealt a blow and tucked in, and persuaded themselves that they could in fact cause us to acquiesce in whatever it is they wanted to do," he said. "The United States is not going to do that, President (George W.) Bush is not going to do that."

Critics are traitors, blah blah blah...

Actually, the interesting thing about Rumfeld's statement is that it assumes that our war of choice in Iraq has something to do with terrorism other than causing more of it. Iraq had nothing to do with AQ, as the 9/11 report pointed out.

I like the concept of an evidence-based foreign policy (as opposed to a faith-based one). Say, Don, found those WMDs yet?
