Very, very clever. What a great SecDef. Thanks for the post SWL.

John-thought you'd find this a fun read. You might want to ping the gang--I would not be so presumptuous. ;^)

Rumsfeld was CEO at Searle when my husband first started working there in the late 70s. Rummy, as he was fondly known, took no prisoners even then. He was known as a hatchet man, and many heads rolled as he successfully got Searle into a winning position.

Despite being a wealthy man then, though not nearly as much as he was later to become, the soles of his shoes had holes in them, and he just didn't care. There were too many more important things to him than that!

My husband went to see the movie "Rockie" around that time, and happened to be sitting in the row right behind Rumsfeld and his family. Rumsfeld was quite into the movie, cheering at various parts of it. A real gung-ho kind of guy!

I couldn't agree more with Mr. Mortman.

As a matter of fact, I would like to share a bottle of good red with Sec. Rumsfeld (May I call you Don?), in an alcove at the Tabard Inn, alone... . Sigh, the man is dreamy!

Speaking of the Department of Defense, I have to confess that I don't remember which radio show I was listening to nor who the military official was that was being interviewed, but the question was whether or not the Deputy Secretary of Defense was a "hawk". "No", replied the official. "I would describe him as a velociraptor."

RUMSFELD: You know, in this world of ours, if you get up in the morning, you're running a risk of having someone lie and someone mischaracterize what it is you are doing.

I'll take four cases of that answer.

Reminds me of:" Either lead, follow, or stay the Hell out of the way."

I really think Rumsfeld gets it. Wouldn´t surprise me if he was a freeper.

Wish there was a way we could show our support for him.

Can you even begin to imagine an operation like this with the former Sec. of Defense Cohen? Doesn't it just want to make you gag. Him and his bag of sugar (anthrax).

Rumsfield is my favorite member of the administration. Since Sep 11 he has expressed a strong respect for not eroding freedoms here in the US.
