Rumsfeld Before Senate Armed Services Committee Today

Well, Rumsfeld finally showed up on Capitol Hill after blowing it off that he was "too busy" to be bothered. And, once he got there, his mission seemed to be to point to Iran and say, "They're the root of all evil and must be stopped!"

Drumbeats of war? Not so faint anymore.

I'm beginning to believe that the GOP actually has enough cojones (probably rented for a high price) to take us into war with Iran, not to make us safer, not to "defeat" a real enemy, but simply to ensure they retain power in November.
