I am not sure about anyone else, but I am glad that Rumsfeld is speaking out.

Another unbelievably irresponsible wisecrack from the spokesman for the POTUS. He speaks too glibbsy, methinks.

I certainly agree with you. Rumsfeld is calling Obama a bald-faced liar, and I’m glad he is.

Mr. Rumsfeld is the best SecDef this country has seen in decades. The man turned our shooters/hunters loose like never before. Understood the need to release our SOFs.

Sure he upset plenty within the Big Green Machine...but that was needed.

From a military POV, history will treat Mr. Rumsfeld very kindly.

Wait until history judges Obama, Glibbs and all of the democrat hacks in Congress! We have the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on mankind with Climategate. We have an administration and democrat congress trying to literally bankrupt our country and ushering in fascist communism into our country. I don’t think history is going to be very kind to them.

We have been right about all of them so far. Can the proof that Obama is not eligible to even hold the office be far behind?

Maybe Gibbs can explain why the US Troop deaths have nearly doubled under Obama’s watch?

Hehehehe. I love this. Rumsfeld and Cheney going after Obama. The buffoon in the Presidency does not stand a chance.

In his speech to the nation last night, President Obama claimed that ‘Commanders in Afghanistan repeatedly asked for support to deal with the reemergence of the Taliban, but these reinforcements did not arrive.’

Because Obama himself denied them, as they were asked for by Gates after 2008, but delayed by the incoming Obama administration. He threw himself under the bus !

It doesn't get any goofier than that, people !

LOL!

They were talking about the denials that occurred AFTER Rumsfeld. OK.

So they were taking about, ahem, the current Sec of Def.

Freakin’ idiots.

What retards.

0bama said it, it was a lie, he got caught, they changed their story.

Their changed story wasn’t thought through at all and they have indeed just thrown their own SecDef under the bus as you say.

Can you believe these people are in charge?

It is sad and true. Obama has spent a year doing nothing but blaming the previous administration without examining his own because the Lame Stream Media has allowed it.

The Libs and Media are now getting twisted in their own previous assertions and lies.

God bless Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney.

I’m so thankful they are speaking out. I wish we had more people willing to correct the lies being told by the Left.

I think it is a grave disservice to all those affected by the lies to allow them to go unanswered. It’s also a disservice to generations who will grow up believing those lies unless they are also presented with an accurate means by which to judge history.

How sad that we can no longer depend on journalists to give an accurate account of current events, much less history.

Want to correct that by saying “all” journalists. Thankfully, we still have some with integrity and a desire for accuracy.

Patriotic Americans could NEVER count on the media to tell the truth.

Their agenda was always anti-American. IOW, pro anyone who was against America.
