Rumsfeld has taken issue with coverage of the war. Specifically he took issue a particular term used by a reporter in the formation of a question. "I don't know if I would use that word," Rumsfeld said in response to an inquiry about the style of combat the US Army now faces in Iraq. According to the Secretary, the word does not apply to the situation in Iraq.

Remember what I said. Don't believe shit the government tells you. Independent verification is necessary whenever Rumsfeld speaks. It was important to determine if the term did indeed apply. So I consulted my dictionary:

go·ril·la war·fare n. (g-rl' wôr'fâr)
Military operations conducted by large anthropoid apes smacking each other with sticks.

Oops, wrong spelling...

gue·ril·la war·fare n. (g-rl' wôr'fâr)
Military operations conducted by members of an irregular, usually indigenous, military or paramilitary unit operating in small bands in occupied territory to harass and undermine the enemy, as by surprise raids.

Actually, this scenario did occur at a Pentagon briefing on Monday. A CNN reporter read Rumsfeld the dictionary definition of "guerilla warfare." He followed that recital with a comment, "This seems to fit a lot of what's going on in Iraq." With a straight face that would have made Bud Abbott proud, Rumsfeld replied, "It really doesn't." The room broke out in laughter.

"We can't be involved in a guerilla war," Rumsfeld continued. "Bush already landed on the aircraft carrier."
