Donald Rumsfeld Awarded Congressional Medal of Honor
Washington - pResident Bush awarded Defense secretary the nation's highest military decoration today, for his outstanding success in the pursuit of bin Laden as well as the marvelous triumph in Iraq. Here are some excerpts from the pResident's speech:
"Bin Laden is still at large 4 1/2 years after September 11th and half our army is bogged down indefinitely in Iraq. I don't know how others qualify success, but as far as this administration is concerned, things are going great. It's time to honor the man responsible for all this."
"When I first met Donald Rumsfeld I said, 'What it that up in the sky Donald?' He replied 'tis the sun sir.' I said, 'No silly, tis the moon.' He said, 'You are correct sir, tis the moon.' From then on I knew I had found a leader with the wisdom, courage and vision to lead our country through this great crisis."
"Let's look his record, obviously a brilliant success. Al-Qaeda, which is led by bin Laden from Afghanistan, attacked us on September 11th. Now we have Saddam Hussein in custody and our army stuck in a bloody and expensive quagmire in Iraq. That's right, we got the guy who didn't do it. You think the Democrats could have done that? Only I can protect you from terrorists. We taught Saddam and those Iraqis a lesson about September 11th. And if Iran thinks they can mess with us, I think the lesson is Indonesia better look out."
Despite criticism of Rumsfeld from some retired generals, active duty officers continue to support Rumsfeld. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Sick O-Phant stated, "Those of us in the military are not allowed to criticize the leadership. We all support Rumsfeld. 100% of Officers under orders not to criticize Rumsfeld think he's doing a great job. What higher praise than that is there. From the great strategists of the First World War to the Maginot Line to Westmoreland in Vietnam the great names of Military History will now be joined by Rumsfeld, all hail Rumsfeld. If you know what's good for you."
