oh, so they have internet on computers now!

Donald Rumsfeld in Sunday’s Washington Post:

The terrorists seem to recognize that they are losing in Iraq. I believe that history will show that to be the case.

Fortunately, history is not made up of daily headlines, blogs on Web sites or the latest sensational attack. History is a bigger picture, and it takes some time and perspective to measure accurately.

“Blogs on Web sites???” Where else has Rummy seen them? In fact, has Don of the Dead (or his ghost writer) ever even read a blog? Does anyone over at the Pentagon know that the word “blog” is a shortening of “ Web log?” It’s that little hint of out-of-touch-ness that gives you a window on how these boys could “plan” such a debacle in Iraq.

Further, is he saying that history will show that the terrorists recognize they are losing—that history will reveal the current existing recognition—is that what he’s saying? That’s what he wrote.

And, as for that history. . . .
