Onward Christian Soldiers


There was always more than a hint of Crusader-style rhetoric from the Bushit Assministration whenever talking about the middle east, and specifically Iraq. Now, we learn that former Secretary of Defense Donald "Demon Rummy" Rumsfeld's office had a habit of festooning the covers of DOD's Worldwide Intelligence Updates to Dumbya with passages from the Bible. Daily Kos has a link to the photos of DOD's covers, published in GQ magazine. Awesome, pilgrim! This should go down well with the Arab "street," who always suspected the invasion of Iraq was about oil and religion.

Apparently, Demon Rummy was preoccupied researching, uhhh, "torture techniques" when the covers were being prepared.
