I don't know... but he IS hosting a no-holds-barred martial arts tournament at his remote island fortress!

The linkage

Rumsfeld then declared the tournament open by symbolically shattering a block of obsidian with his prosthetic dragon's claw?the powerful weapon grafted onto his right wrist after 2003 champion Li severed his hand with manji butterfly swords.

Rumsfeld reminds me of that politician who befriended Jack Ryan in The Hunt For Red October.

"I'm an elected official... you know what that means? When I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollypops..."

abc did a great profile on him the other night, i think he's really screwed the pooch on iraq, but i think his ideas of the 21st century military are spot on.

why do we still need massive amounts of troops in germany, are we afraid someone is going to rebuild the berlin wall.

It's like an EU aid program. It's complicated. Plus it if pulled out then that would be ISOLATIONIST!!!
