Don Rumsfeld is the anti-Powell. He is a remarkable man and true patriot in every sense of the word. He probably has more honor in his little toe than the entire rest of the Bush administration combined.
It’s heartbreaking to see and hear him blamed for the mistakes in Iraq when they rightly and properly rest in Powell’s fat lap.
Rummy is a true patriot. I miss him.
I would suggest that the guilt for the difficulty with the Iraqi reconstruction efforts would be with the Ba’ath socialist party which had been ruining Iraq for 30 yars, and Al Queda which attempted to slow transportation, and perform random murders as far up into the Iraqi government as they could reach.
Just saying, you know... like blame the ENEMY for not surrendering to permit orderly reconstruction, not following the law of war, for running the country into the ground in the first place...
Secretary Rumsfeld is a great man.
Rummy is welcome to meet up for a cold one any time he wants. We’ll drop by, too, if asked.
Thanks for everything you have done for us all.
Thanks for the pst NeverD...Randall Hoven does a masterful job of destroying this idiot’s GQ crap on Mr. Rumsfeld. Bremer and Powell were the biggest cause of the problems with post invasion Iraq. IMO history will prove this!
Rummy was probably the best Secretary of Defense this country ever had. A true American Patriot.
Who is to blame for (1) our difficulties in Iraq, (2) the delayed Katrina response, (3) lousy relations between the US and Russia, and (4) Republicans losing the Senate? Donald Rumsfeld, of course. At least if you believe Robert Draper, as he writes in the June 2009 issue of GQ... Draper is also the author of "Dead Certain", a Bush-bashing book now available on Amazon for $5.33...Thanks neverdem.
