Hitler's generals also told him that the divisions didn't exist.  Didn't
stop him ordering them to the front.  Rumsfled is indeed gone.  Cheney and
Shrub remain, and they seem to consider their egos worth defending with the
blood of yet more US servicemen and Iraqi civilians.

The man is sitting in the Oval Office, just as insane as Hitler in his
bunker.  And just as incapable of processing bad news or accepting personal
failure.

Similar dependency on the opinion of dogs, BTW.
