Well I watched the live news conference yesterday and the change in the guys demeanour was obvious. He was quite jubilant, like the cat that got the cream. While it isn't over yet in Afghanistan, things are obviously going really well. He was getting the usual harassment from the press including questions about huge numbers of Taliban being killed. I liked his no nonsense answer. (Paraphrased). "The Northern Alliance and U.S. and Allied forces call on the Taliban to surrender or be killed. If they don't surrender they get killed. That's what happens in a war and this is a war"

I watch this guy on Sky news daily and I think he is excellent at his job.
He comes across very well and has a good measured answer for most questions.

Henry Kissenger called him "the most ruthless man in America."

Sounds to me like he's the perfect man for the Job.

I like that guy's answers. He's straight forward and tough. I also like that ex-special ops guy from Crucible. That guy always has something interesting to say.

I'd say he has a great no nonsense approach! Surrender or die!! Pretty definitive, don't you think?

THIS IS REAL TERROR! No BS, no hidden agenda, just sitting around knowing very soon that your going to have a visit "from our little friends!"

I don't know about you, but this would tend to scare the Sh$t out of most people including Osama! Especially knowing that nothing not his millions or is family could save him. Dying without a country or a true cause. AAAAAAAAHAHAHAH I love it! Now here is a guy that has a reservation in hell!

Sleep Tight Osama!!

Cheers

Jeff

I REALLY like Rummie. I agree, I think he's the perfect man for this and I love to watch those jackasses in the press corps squirm because they are used to liars and people who sugarcoat stuff. He's awesome...
