Why not Donald Rumsfeld? Disastrous Iraq war my ass. The withdrawal in 2011 was disastrous.
No, it was the Bush war that destabilized Iraq. There was no one there to take control of the sunni shia conflict.
Rumsfeld is 83. Trump may want a younger running mate—one who could potentially run for POTUS in eight years.
“Why not Donald Rumsfeld? Disastrous Iraq war my ass. “
Because he is a neocon idiot who ran a war as poorly as America has ever done. The 2011 withdrawal was bad, but it would be the same in 2016, 2026, 2033,,,, whenever.
It isn’t a ringing endorsement of Rumsfeld that he ran a war twice as long as WWII and never won it.
Look at tactics... he let supply convoys roll for years down the same IED routes with nothing to stop it. Can anyone imagine Ike or Patton running the RedBall express supply trucks for years through German ambushes and not lifting a finger to put a stop to it?
No more Bushies.
