Donald Duck Rumsfeld Speaks

From LATimes.com, September 7:


During a news conference at the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld anticipated the tally would soon surpass 1,000 and sought to play down the milestone.

"When combined with U.S. losses in other theaters in the global war on terror, we have lost well more than a thousand already," he said.

Now doesn't that just take the sting out of it?

Minimalizing and trivializing does not help, Don.
