[If I were running against conservatives,] I would make up a campaign
commercial almost entirely of Donald Rumsfeld's press conferences, because
the man is looking - I mean, it's not just that he seems like a bad
Secretary of [Defense]. He seems literally in a parallel universe and
slightly deranged. If you listen to what he said last week about Iraq, he's
living in a different world, not a different country.
Zakaria may have been referencing Rumsfeld's "glib" remarks last week when
asked whether Iraq was getting "closer to a civil war":
SEC. RUMSFELD: Oh, I don't know. You know, I thought about that last
night, and just musing over the words, the phrase, and what constitutes it.
If you think of our Civil War, this is really very different. If you think
of civil wars in other countries, this is really quite different. There is -
there is a good deal of violence in Baghdad and two or three other
provinces, and yet in 14 other provinces there's very little violence or
numbers of incidents. So it's a - it's a highly concentrated thing. It
clearly is being stimulated by people who would like to have what could be
characterized as a civil war and win it, but I'm not going to be the one to
decide if, when or at all.

There will be elections in November. The results will not be to the liking
of Bush and the neo-cons and fears of impeachment will decide that the
election will be declared null and void.
You asked for it Amurka, and you got it!
I'm sure, though, Bush will be able to add impeachment to his resume after
the November elections.
