Moral Confusion and Bad Actors

Rummy really out-did himself this week. He gave a pep talk to the American Legion in Salt Lake City yesterday, and in so doing he pissed off the Democrats so much that some of them are actually going on the offensive for a change.

This line seems to be the one that ruffled many feathers: “Any kind of moral or intellectual confusion about who and what is right or wrong, can weaken the ability of free societies to persevere.”

Speaking of which, here’s a picture of Rummy with his buddy Saddam:

Reminds me of another thing Rummy had to say, which I’ve not seen called out in the media anywhere although you can find it in the complete transcript of yesterday’s speech:

“In every army, there are occasional bad actors, the ones who dominate the headlines today, who don’t live up to the standards of the oath and of our country.”

Indeed.
