Superb article. Thanks for sharing it.
Rumsfeld's fierce intelligence and intellectual honesty could be seen right away during his "rock star" press briefings for the war in Afghanistan.
The only reason he was trashed by the press was because he was right, everyone knew he was right, and as a credit to our military and our nation, this man was a very real threat to liberalism.
Can you imagine having him as a dad or uncle? How great would THAT be?!
Not if you are a slacker. Anyway, I also remember before 9/11, their were calls to have him fired. Military people within the Pentagon, I think, were actually working against him but had to curtail their activiites once 9/11 happened.
