Donald Rumsfeld, was everywhere yesterday, but in all those appearances he barely mentioned that, in contrast to his spectacularly unsuccessful occupation of Iraq, he has managed to seize complete control of U.S. intelligence operations and centralize them under his direction in the Pentagon.
He also forgot to mention who he's put in charge: Lt. Gen. William Boykin.
Boykin. Sounds familiar. Is it William Boykin? Let's see. Yes, here it is.
Lt. Gen. William Boykin is the religious fanatic who, during the early months of George W. Bush's War on Terror, in public speeches while dressed in uniform and representing the Pentagon, said that the U.S. Army is "the house of God" that Islamic insurgents are "agents of Satan." In a speech in 2003, Boykin referred to a Muslim fighter in Somalia, and said, "Well, you know, I knew that my God was bigger than his. I knew that my God was a real God, and his was an idol." That one caused such a public outcry that Boykin was reprimanded.
And now, a couple of years later he's been promoted and put in charge of the largest black-ops, off budget, secret military operation in the history of the world. The man who says that radical Muslims have been stirred into action against the U.S. by "demonic powers" because it is a "Christian nation" is in charge of all manner of spies and special operations, and all of his activities are beyond public scrutiny because to reveal them would weaken the War on Terror.
So now the U.S. has appointed a notorious religious fanatic to dispatch Christian crusaders to cleanse the world of Satanic Muslims. Of course if he was a Muslim and directing clandestine operations against us, we'd call him a terrorist leader. Good thing he reports to Donald Rumsfeld. Hey, wait a minute...
