R.C.: He will burn forever.
Sociopath.
Unlike R.C., I hve a soft spot for "Rummy," based on two sets of memories: 1. Seeing that old man dragging the wounded to safety at the Pentgon on 9/11; and watching him give the most intelligent, witty, dynamic press conferences I'd ever seen from public figure. And unlike almost all public figures of his time or ours, he served his country, as an active duty, USAF fighter pilot.
He was White,that's about all you can say about him--better than a Condi Rice or Powell--in that respect.
ReplyDeleteA report on NNN said Rumsfeld was asked about the WMD's that were never found.
"We were wrong."
How could YOU be wrong about something like that--and only admit it years after the fact?The government has almost always been wrong in policy of all types for the last 57 years--probably since JFK was killed(more policy?)
He seemed personable,I agree,but looked like a guy who wouldn't admit to a mistake--until it didn't matter anymore.

ReplyDeleteI think he was U.S. Navy and a carrier pilot.
