Oh. See, I would think it’s the ghosts of all those civilians fried by white phosphorus that was keeping him up at night:
FALLON NAVAL AIR STATION, Nevada — Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said he is deeply troubled by the success of terrorist groups in “manipulating the media” to influence Westerners.
“That’s the thing that keeps me up at night,” he said Monday during a question-and-answer session with about 200 naval aviators and other Navy personnel at this flight training base for Navy and Marine pilots. [...]
“What bothers me the most is how clever the enemy is,” he continued, launching an extensive broadside at Islamic extremist groups which he said are trying to undermine Western support for the war on terror.
“They are actively manipulating the media in this country” by, for example, falsely blaming U.S. troops for civilian deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan, he said.
I recall reading that at least LBJ had the decency to occasionally wake up in horror, convinced that the planes coming into land at National Airport were B-52s about to bomb him….
His whole rant today was completely over the top. Delusional doesn’t even begin to describe it.
