The Daily Background

I have now begun a series of posts in which I respond to right-wingers on various subjects. Some of these responses will be to stupid arguments that the right-wing and conservatives like to use very often, others will be responses to tremendously stupid anomoly arguments that somebody on the other side of the internet thought up.

All of the arguments that I respond to however, will be from real people. Here’s intallment one, which is in the category of a stupid argument somebody thought up.

“It must be frustrating to be donald rumsfeld. all alone and so right but nobody else will see it.”

Donald Rumsfeld had been wrong about everything during this war. He was wrong about weapons of mass destruction, wrong about the number of troops needed for a ground invasion (he insisted they use less troops than the generals wanted to use), wrong about the troops needed to secure Baghdad, wrong when he said nobody anticipated sectarian violence, wrong about expecting to secure the country in a matter of months, wrong about oil revenues paying for the war, wrong about being able to conduct a quick little war “on the cheap,” wrong in suggesting that Iraq has to do with the war on terrorism, wrong about American troops being greeted with open arms. And he is wrong now, when he says that anyone who criticises him is morally challenged.

He has not been right about anything during this war.
