TO: Gen. Dick Myers Paul Wolfowitz Gen. Pete Pace Doug Feith FROM: Donald Rumsfeld SUBJECT: Global War on Terrorism The questions I posed to combatant commanders this week were: Are we winning or losing the Global War on Terror? Is DoD changing fast enough to deal with the new 21st century security environment? Can a big institution change fast enough? Is the USG changing fast enough? DoD has been organized, trained and equipped to fight big armies, navies and air forces. It is not possible to change DoD fast enough to successfully fight the global war on terror; an alternative might be to try to fashion a new institution, either within DoD or elsewhere — one that seamlessly focuses the capabilities of several departments and agencies on this key problem. With respect to global terrorism, the record since Septermber 11th seems to be: We are having mixed results with Al Qaida, although we have put considerable pressure on them — nonetheless, a great many remain at large. USG has made reasonable progress in capturing or killing the top 55 Iraqis. USG has made somewhat slower progress tracking down the Taliban — Omar, Hekmatyar, etc. With respect to the Ansar Al-Islam, we are just getting started. Have we fashioned the right mix of rewards, amnesty, protection and confidence in the US? Does DoD need to think through new ways to organize, train, equip and focus to deal with the global war on terror? Are the changes we have and are making too modest and incremental? My impression is that we have not yet made truly bold moves, although we have have made many sensible, logical moves in the right direction, but are they enough? Today, we lack metrics to know if we are winning or losing the global war on terror. Are we capturing, killing or deterring and dissuading more terrorists every day than the madrassas and the radical clerics are recruiting, training and deploying against us? Does the US need to fashion a broad, integrated plan to stop the next generation of terrorists? The US is putting relatively little effort into a long-range plan, but we are putting a great deal of effort into trying to stop terrorists. The cost-benefit ratio is against us! Our cost is billions against the terrorists' costs of millions. Do we need a new organization? How do we stop those who are financing the radical madrassa schools? Is our current situation such that "the harder we work, the behinder we get"? It is pretty clear that the coalition can win in Afghanistan and Iraq in one way or another, but it will be a long, hard slog. Does CIA need a new finding? Should we create a private foundation to entice radical madradssas to a more moderate course? What else should we be considering? Please be prepared to discuss this at our meeting on Saturday or Monday. Thanks. |

mine is what Pizza Pizza calls "Mediterranean Vegeterian". It has regular mozzarella cheese, feta cheese chunks, sundried tomatoes, grilled zucchini, black olives, red onions and broccoli. I didn't think i'd like it when i tried it, but it's really amazing. sweet! you can order online! |
i bet it is. my favorite pizza is from a local pizza shack. Sloppy NYC style with fresh basil and american style bacon and feta. who haw!!! |
Pizza Pizza's been around quite a long while actually. perhaps as long as Little Caesars... |
I hate to say it, but Pizza Slut ruined their pizza when they started using whole onion slices instead of diced onions and fresh mushrooms instead of canned. ANd then started sprinkling spices on top. |
|
If you come to Ohio, stay the hell away from Donato's - worst pizza-chain pizza ever. |
|

. They never ever take the coupons. I had a free pizza coupon I used 3 or 4 times before I lost it. I know if I claimed I had it now, they'd ask for it. . Hmm. I know what I'm eating tonight. . Bacon, Tomatoes, Mushrooms. |
you been to pizza express, v.v.? i thought that was pretty good. |
All anyone wants out of them is the Crazy Bread. Pizza Pizza has sprawling, magestic orange and white villas of yum. Some are 2 or 3 floors. Pizza Pizza is a well-oiled machine. You'll see one in the background of many movies that have been shot in Toronto. Like in Half Baked, for example. |

some of the best food i've ever eaten is served in various restaurants in greek town in the d. can't say i've had the pizza though. hey when y'all come to town for sorabjifest 2004 i'll take you The Parlor. this dingy punk rock pizza joint w/ great pizza that takes like a year and half to get after you've ordered it, and the best jukebox *ever*. can't even find the place unless you know where it is because the windows are blacked out and there's no sign. |
But their pizza eats me back. Hurts me bad. And in terms of Papa Johns, I only like the thin crust. The regular is blah. |

i prefer the 'fuck me' ass with dripping wet flesh beard to any 'fuck me' face. |
Now that is a classic Nate. I am going to have to remember that one...... |
But, I feel fairly confident in saying that I would catch on sometime before she was shoving "the 'fuck me' ass with dripping wet flesh beard" at me......... |
A man being horny is as natural as, well, Water being wet. Women have become the master of disguises, and unless they have decided to inform you, you could never tell they were in the mood. |
|
|
|
|
because if you're a creepy motherfucker, that's the most action you're getting. knowing when women are horny is one thing. caring is a completely different matter. |
|
*sigh* plbbbth |
time, such as, said woman "wanting" them. strangely enough, quite often they are wrong. |
|
We (well, I don't, anyway) think about women wanting me, I think about wanting them (well, eri anyay) |
