“Rumsfeld Bites The Dust”

I laughed until I cried. thanks.
My first take was that this was, well, infantile..and then it hit me (Ok, some days are better than others.). If ever there was someone who needed this treatment, (infantile treatment people), it is Rumsfeld who would typically runover the interviewer with his own far superior questions..like this:
You ask me whether this depiction is a bit over the top and I know the question that’s really on your mind is who confined the alterations to puppet mitts. Far be it from me to suggest that the budget needed serious cash infusions to really spill some blood on this issue, but sooner or later you’ll understand this. Thanks for your question. Next.

Barry,
Time to reopen the thread from a few weeks ago on defense spending.
Here is a link to the DoD 2007 Green Book.
http://www.dod.mil/comptroller/defbudget/fy2007/fy2007_greenbook.pdf
We can all look at Table 1-8 where the Unified Budget is portrayed through FY 2011.
Note the DoD outlays go down in 07 and 08 and rise on the next president’s watch, hmmmmmm.
Covering the unified view the DoD guys show a good sense for rising cash needs for “entitlements”.
A business plan?
