The following is a log from a recent IM conversation between Tio Jaime and SixHertz (10 minutes ago). Crazy how great minds think alike. ;)
[16:07.07] Tio Jaime: hey you got a second?
[16:09.03] SixHertz: yo
[16:09.11] Tio Jaime: you should blog about rumsfeld
[16:09.17] Tio Jaime: in particular...
[16:09.37] Tio Jaime: In Washington, Democratic Sen. Christopher Dodd (news, bio, voting record) of Connecticut called Rumsfeld's comments about the armor "stunning," and said in a letter to the secretary, "Your response -- 'You go to war with the Army you have' -- is utterly unacceptable."
[16:10.09] Tio Jaime: you *do* go to war with the army you have
[16:10.33] SixHertz: wow, dodd said that?
[16:10.39] SixHertz: what a f***ing grandstander.
[16:10.56] SixHertz: these bastards never played starcraft before.
[16:10.59] Tio Jaime: what happens when the Zerg are trying to overrun your position? do you wait for your three barracks to spit out another squad of marines?
[16:11.09] Tio Jaime: EXACTLY
[16:11.10] SixHertz: 'cause just by playing starcraft, I know more about war than these dumbass senators.
[16:11.15] Tio Jaime: THANK YOU
[16:11.19] SixHertz: LOL
[16:11.34] Tio Jaime: check the time stamp! i was thinking the exact same thing!
[16:11.40] Tio Jaime: fuck, just post this on your blog
[16:11.44] SixHertz: "All I needed to know about war I learned from Starcraft"
[16:12.00] SixHertz: copy and paste with your timestamp on this buffer.
[16:12.03] Tio Jaime: OK
[16:12.07] SixHertz: I don't have seconds on mine right now.
[16:12.10] Tio Jaime: i'll edit out our names
[16:12.17] SixHertz: I'll do it. No worries.
[16:12.32] SixHertz: I gotta bleep out my french.
[16:13.27] Tio Jaime: you want the original rummy quote?
[16:13.33] SixHertz: sure.
[16:13.39] Tio Jaime: OK
[16:14.00] Tio Jaime: and for those of you in SHoP land, the URL to the article is http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=615&e=2&u=/nm/20041208/pl_nm/iraq_usa_rumsfeld_dc
[16:14.12] Tio Jaime: Rumsfeld conceded that "not every vehicle has the degree of armor that it would be desirable for it to have," and said the Army was hurrying to provide more armored vehicles, adding 400 per month.
[16:14.20] Tio Jaime: But Rumsfeld added, "As you know, you go to war with the Army you have, not the Army you might want or wish to have at a later time."
[16:14.23] Tio Jaime: yeah dude
[16:14.29] SixHertz: sweet.
[16:14.40] Tio Jaime: that was weird.... the starcraft analogy came to me mere seconds before you typed it
[16:14.50] Tio Jaime: I LOVE YOU GAYS
[16:14.53] SixHertz: hahaha
