That's very sad....he will be missed and all the nasties will be very happy.
Rummy is great.
I love his quick wit.
I don't understand all the defense of Rumsfeld. I thought he was tactically a disaster from the moment he slashed the TOE going into Iraq. I think war should be fought with every resource you can bring to bear, not cheaply so that you can make it more politically palatable. When you try to make war on the cheap, you just pay larger installments.
Plus his postwar planning was a joke. I can't believe he bought into the neocon theory that postwar Iraq would be a cakewalk, but I have no other explanation for the failure to secure intelligence records, and government facilities going into Bagdad until after they'd been thoroughly looted.
