Secretary of Kaos Donald Rumsfeld, on being asked why US soldiers have to dig through scrap heaps to try to armor their own vehicles:

“I’ve talked a great deal about this with a team of people who have been working hard at the Pentagon… if you think about it, you can have all the armor in the world on a tank and it can blow up…”

Now you can see why I wanted so desperately for this flying monkey to be one of those fleeing the castle this fall. Unbelievable.

The title of this post is from the movie Stripes. When asked by an officer where his sergeant is, Bill Murray’s character says, “Blown Up, Sir.”
