Paul Krugman wrote a devastatingly honest piece about 9/11.

Donald Rumsfeld canceled his subscription to the paper it was written for.


This is sort of the core of Krugman's point:

The atrocity should have been a unifying event, but instead it became a wedge issue. Fake heroes like Bernie Kerik, Rudy Giuliani, and, yes, George W. Bush raced to cash in on the horror. And then the attack was used to justify an unrelated war the neocons wanted to fight, for all the wrong reasons.

The memory of 9/11 has been irrevocably poisoned; it has become an occasion for shame. And in its heart, the nation knows it.

I'd say Rumsfeld is irked because Krugman hit the bullseye on the Iraq adventure: it was Rumsfeld's baby, one he never allowed the Pentagon to game out fully, so he could paint a rosy picture for the president, all with Cheney's connivance, of course.

Of course canceling his subscription won't kill the truth; it won't even hide it from his office staff, since Krugman's pieces are all online, available to be read even without a subscription. The only thing this does is show Rumsfeld for the petty little man he is.

Afghan war was acceptable but Iraq was was a mistake.

People who made mistake and cost lives should pay for it some how.
 
Rumsfeld can't handle the truth! :grrr:

Out, damned spot! out, I say! - Lady Macbeth, Scene I

Thought question: Bernie Kerrick is in jail. Why aren't Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al in jail also? :mad:
 
He so use to not telling the truth a trade mark of the 8 years of Bush and company.
 
frankly a lot of people are canceling the NY Times - not just Rummy

they're down below a million dailies

as for paul krugman - proof that a high IQ does not constitute smart or wise

how did George Bush "cash in on the horror"

another piece of shit attack piece by a guy who not only thinks he smarter than everyone else but delivers character assassination far too easily

I've been hearing that story the last twenty years. However, I figure if Rummy cancelled his subscription, it must be a good idea, by golly! :rolleyes:
 
The NYT along with all newspapers are in very difficult financial straits

What, hadn't you learned to read by then?

He manipulated the country into attacking a nation that had never done us harm, resulting in thousands of pointless American deaths as well as tens upon tens of thousands of "enemy" deaths, mostly non-combatants.

And he manipulated the country into accepting the biggest steps toward a police state ever taken in American history.

silly me

i thought "cashed in" suggesting he profited ;)

funny

you and yours always say how dumb GWB is

not he's a master manipulator

u need to get your lies str8
 
Actually a lot of people started to cancel the NYT when they hiked their rates and started to charge stupidly for "electronic versions" (separate costs for mobile and laptops). Hell the only reason I even glance at the WSJ is because my company pays for it. I prefer the FT's moderate stance.
 
Krugman wrote a "devastating" piece?

Funny, I found it very passive-aggressive, cowardly and a bit deranged.
 
i would suggest that Paul Krugman has very little knowledge of what might be in the "nation's heart"

as he is on the fringe and cannot speak to anything but his own warped mindset
 
Shows you how petty and childish Rumsfeld is. He had to "announce" he was canceling his subscription?

If he doesn't like what he reads and wants to cancel his subscription, just do it. You don't need a press conference or a publicist telling the world you're canceling it.

It reminds me of my 12 year old nephew. He ran out of the room crying when I told him he had mud all over his face. Very immature.

Truth hurts, doesn't it Rummy? When will his war crimes trial start?

Where did I mention that made me proud?

If you think that made me proud, you failed to understand.

Don't put words in my mouth. And stay on topic.


(sigh) ... another right-wing thread de-railer. Guess it's just a matter of time until the de-railers make this about Michael Moore.
