Rumsfeld - what we never knew, and what's missing.

Some time back I was going to comment on this article, and the following -

• How the article screws up Israel - Jordan thing (airspace)
• How the article misses the relationship between Dick Cheney and Rumsfeld, and how this shaped the relationship with W during the Bush years. This is a key flaw in the article.

 But frankly, why bother now, when have someone out there to correct the record on Donald Rumsfeld and expose him as the criminally stupid asshole that he is?

That someone is Donald Rumsfeld.

More Pentagon Papers Donald Rumsfeld Doesn't Want You to See


Here's the really sad part for all of us - like Bush and Cheney, this guy will very likely never get prosecuted for what he's done. I already regarded him a complete failure back on September 11, 2001, for failing to protect America (He was after all the nation's Secretary of Defense - why didn't he defend?). And as this commenter points out, he was a loon from long ago -

Rummy never really left the world as it was with him and Jerry Ford. He thought, or what passes for thinking, that it was still 1974, with him and The Dick running the American Imperialist show. How stupid was Jerry to have used Rummy and The Dick to run things? I'll tell you. He was George W. Bush stupid.

But somehow, his abject stupidity, along with Bush and Cheney have truly fucked up the country and much of the world for many years to come. I have some serious doubts about whether some aspects can ever be set right again.
