Different Strokes
Today Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld told reporters that he predicted American troops would leave Iraq in four years.
When asked by a reporter about what had happened to the administration's previous statement that the troops would only stay until 2006, Rumsfeld put one hand on his hip, waved the index finger of his other hand, puffed out his cheeks, hunched over slightly, and proclaimed loudly, "WATCHOO talkin' bout Willis !!"
As the gaggle of reporters paused, some laughing, some in shock, Rummy slipped through a door and out of sight, thinking to himself, "You old dog you still got it."
