At least that's what I gather from watching this video.

(149,611 posts)What tells you he was doing cocaine? I'm not familiar with whatever it does to people.

(19,877 posts)Mannerisms seem consistent of someone on amphetamine's. Seems an unnatural & uncomfortable mannerism otherwise. Plus his past history of using cocaine.

(89,248 posts)what a huge fucking change we got . hopefully it will never happen again but look at wisconsin so we still need to be careful.

(86,579 posts)but when I later discovered that Rummy was/is the CEO of a big pharma operation it quickly occurred to me that he was getting some of the best clean pharma grade "stuff" whenever he wanted it. I can also imagine that he was pretty drugged up for the majority of his entire pretend presidency that we're still suffering the consequences of. Kept him off the sauce for the most of it.

(22,143 posts)Like a fucking tweaker. But I don't think he was on coke, they had him all pilled up.
I remember a story about how the whole staff was on some kind of anti-depressants.

Secretary Powell: Yes. Well, I wouldnt call them that. Theyre a wonderful medication not medication. How would you call it? Theyre called ambien, which is very good. You dont use ambien? Everybody here uses ambien.

(21 posts)I mean, this was a man who was willing to send thousands of young men to their deaths, in a highly illegal war. Why not engage in other activities deemed illegal in this country? It would certainly explain his great difficulty in coming up with a coherent thought.

But, perhaps, he was so disengaged and out-of-the-loop that he had nothing to do with it, really. Maybe even he figured out that the neocons took him somewhere based on a pile of bullshit (which Colin Powell now has disassociated himself from even though he was prime)....and medicated himself to forget about it ? That's what I think and I have let go of all the hatred I had for him. It is firmly placed on Cheney
