By the numbers


iconOn his radio show yesterday, El Rushbo played a clip where Secretary of Defense Don Rumsfeld was butting heads with Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez over the number of trained Iraqis. This is a perfect illustration of why I love Rummy.

RUMSFELD: We're scheduled to have 200,000 in September or October of this year. When the elections take place with respect to the constitution, and the program takes it to 270,000 by June of '06.

SANCHEZ: The numbers that you bandy around about how many troops we really have out there that are Iraqi police, et cetera, et cetera.

RUMSFELD: You say we bandy around numbers. They're not my numbers. I don't invent them. They come from General Petreus. There's no bandying at all.

SANCHEZ: I have Petreus' numbers. They're different than your numbers, by the way.

RUMSFELD: Well, what is the date? They're not different if the date's the same. The date on my paper here is February 14th. What's yours?

SANCHEZ: December 20th.

RUMSFELD: Not surprising there's a difference.

Hehehe. Sanchez' figures were nearly 2 months old; Rummy's 2 days.
