WTF Is It Now?!?

Darth Rummy insults, pisses off loyal ally
Asked whether the U.S. would go to war without "our closest ally," Don 'Warboner' Rumsfeld replied, "That is an issue that the 'president' will be addressing in the days ahead, one would assume."

The Brits covered up their fury with typical understatement, calling Rummy's comment "curious." But behind the scene, Downing Street went nuts and began ringing Pennsylvania Avenue, demanding an explanation. How could Rummy be so callous about "the special relationship" after Mr. Blair had stuck his neck out for President Bush and courageously put his career on the line, and after he had sent one-quarter of the British military to the Persian Gulf?

Responding to Rummy's comments, one BBC commentator drily said that perhaps he was trying to be sensitive, but "as we all know, Donald Rumsfeld doesn't do sensitive very well." - Just when you thought there wasn't anybody left that could possibly hate us. From the Washington Post and the NY Times.
