Talk Like an Egyptian
Testifying yesterday before a Senate committee investigating the increasingly bloody Iraqi resistance, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld told Senate Armed Services Commitee co-chair Carl Levin (D-Michigan): "As you know, we know there are o-way-ohs, which are things we know that do the sand-dance, dont'cha know? We also know there are known ay-o-way-ohs; that is to say where know thare are some things we knock down like a domino. But we know there are also unknown way-e-o-way-ohs - the ones we don't know we-o-way-oh. In any case, the foreign types with the hookah pipes know--way-oh."
Levin pressed Rumsfeld about misstatements made in 2002 claiming that Americans would be greeted as "liberators," to which Rumsfeld added: "I don't see a problem. I can say with reasonable certainty that the kids in the marketplace know-way-oh. They like the punk and the metal band. They sing and dance. You drop your drink, they bring you more. What more can I say?"
When asked about the cryptic nature of Rumsfeld's comments, Department of Defense spokesperson Larry DiRita said that Rumsfeld was, "merely having a manic Monday and wished it were Sunday."
