NYT: Hillary blames Iraq bombings on “Rejectionists”. She put the situation in rather Rumsfeldian terms:
“Are there going to be bad days? Yes, there are,” Mrs. Clinton said. But she added, “If you look at the evidence, overwhelmingly the progress that’s been made has been positive.”
Compare with this Rumsfeld quote from an interview he gave to a radio show in April 2004:
[A] peaceful Iraq is going to make an enormous change in the Middle East and we just simply have to see it through. There are going to be good days and bad days. And, obviously, the last few have been bad days….But our folks are working the problem and have confidence they’ll be able to move ahead.
Creepy.
Also, it looks like one President’s Freedom Fighters are another President’s Rejectionists. I wonder if the Times would have allowed Secretaries Rumsfeld or Rice to get away with using the term “rejectionist” without mockery or accusations of imperialist arrogance? Probably not. So far, MyDD doesn’t seem to mind it one bit (via Memeorandum).
