Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld told Greta Van Susteren on Monday, A trained ape can get a status of forces agreement. It does not take a genius.
Rumsfeld was talking about Barack Obamas failed diplomacy in Iraq and Afghanistan.
CNS News reported:
Donald Rumsfeld, who served as U.S. Defense Secretary under President George W. Bush, blames poor diplomacy by the Obama administration for the current strained relations with Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
Our relationship with Karzai and with Afghanistan was absolutely first-rate in the Bush administration, Rumsfeld told Fox Newss Greta Van Susteren on Monday. It has gone down hill like a toboggan ever since the Obama administration came in.
Rumsfeld pointed to the fact that the Obama administration has failed to get Karzai to sign an agreement that would allow some U.S. troops to remain in Afghanistan after 2014, when combat ends.
The U.S. has status of forces agreements with more than a hundred countries, Rumsfeld noted. A trained ape can get a status of forces agreement, he said. It does not take a genius. And we have so mismanaged that relationship.
I understand they’re very bitter about that.
Bitter is mild....
Actually, Rumfeld’s characterization is a gross insult to apes.
Yeah this will raise Ed “Schlitz” and the rest of his MSNBC idiot colleagues’ blood pressures. They’ll get a few days of bashing him and Bush. After all he was part of that administration. The usual liberal mouthpieces will be frothing at the mouth in their condemnation of Rumsfeld. So what else is new?
I saw an article on Facebook that shows a picture of the OhVomits with monkey faces!
Did you hear Rush talking about the Belgium newspaper showing the Obamas as apes?
I’m surprised no one is calling Putin a racist for not submitting to the superior intellect of Obama. Imagine how hurt Putin would be by being called a racist. I suspect Russians are very racist and not one bit apologetic about it. Kind of like Obama’s preacher.
Rumsfeld did not call Obama an ape. Rumsfeld did claim that a trained ape is smarter than Obama and his administration. As an animal lover, I am very grateful that Rumsfeld did not insult apes, trained or otherwise.
