Rummy, Still Ignoring Reality In Iraq, Begins Going After High-School Students

by Steve

"Any who say we are losing this war are wrong. We are not."
--Rummy, today, fending off Democratic calls for him to resign

"I believe there are more foreign fighters coming into Iraq than there were six months ago. ...There's a lot of work to be done against the insurgency."
--General John Abizaid, a few feet away from Rummy at the same hearing a few minutes later.

On a day when Rummy told Congress that it would be unwise to talk about an exit strategy and even discuss when our troops may be coming home from Iraq, the Pentagon announced that it had begun to gather private and personal information on high school students to build a master list of potential recruits....or draftees.
