Purity of Essence

Separated at Birth?People are clearly bored with Iraq, but I make no apologies for pointing out, even belatedly, that General Richard B. Myers -- Rummy's straight man in the war briefings -- bears a striking physical resemblance to Sterling Hayden as General Jack Ripper in Dr. Strangelove. (Click to enlarge image.)

Of course, Ripper's ideological resemblance to Rumsfeld is what's really uncanny.

"God willing, we will prevail in peace and freedom from fear and in true health through the purity and essence of our natural fluids." General Jack D. Ripper

Be sure to see this fun collection of Strangelove soundclips and pix.
