Rumsfeld is an unrepentant war criminal, neocon extremist and chump. Search the web and you find odds and sods about him but given who he is, his connections and -to put it bluntly- that he just isn’t the kind of guy who stops doing evil, well…it’s a bit like the cliché from bad jungle adventure [...]

It was characteristic of Bush’s secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, to refer to Eastern Europe’s oldest Byzantium regions as “New Europe.” This was the kind of oxymoron and conspicuous make-believe that marked the all hat, no cattle Bush administration. What was a little spooky about it all was that when they pretended to tell the [...]

It seems to me that former British Defence Secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind's views on the subject are much more sensible than those of former U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld .

Interviewed on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal this morning, Ron Suskind, author of a new book that reveals that the White House forged a letter concocting a fake link between Saddam Hussein and 9/11, criticized the administration’s pre-war arrogance. For example, Donald Rumsfeld once claimed that the U.S. could easily “bend” Iraq to think like the West: SUSKIND: [...]

In an August 5 Wall Street Journal op-ed , William McGurn, News Corp. vice president and former Journal chief editorial writer , claimed that Sen. John McCain "push[ed]" for President Bush to "replace Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, long before anyone else." McGurn made the false claim in support of his assertion that "[o]f all Republicans, Mr. McCain should have the least to worry about being...

From our symposium elsewhere on the site: Peter Rodman was a dedicated public servant, an incisive strategist, a consummate diplomat, a serious pupil of history and a measured teacher of history's lessons. He had a deep faith in the greatness of American democracy, and he understood that our nation's foreign policy was at its best when it reconciled the moral idealism of America's deep-seated liberalism...

Remember when Donald Rumsfeld told us in November of 2002 that the invasion of Iraq had “nothing to do with oil”? Well recently on June 24, 2008, there was a very interesting debate on the KCRW radio program “To The Point” hosted by Warren Olney. The discussion centered on Iraq and the decision to give no-bid contracts to some of the biggest western oil companies once expelled by Saddam Hussein in...

The author wrote in my opinion, one of the best critical analysis of Iraq war policy with his book "Fiasco". ---Quote--- How does an Army chief of staff chew out his boss, the defense secretary? Gen. Eric K. Shinseki shows how it's done in this letter written to Donald H. Rumsfeld just before Shinseki stepped down in June 2003. During the run-up to the war, the general told Congress that more troops...

Is the master of the rhetorical question back? In spirit at least. Truthdig contributor Allen McDuffee warns that a group of neoliberal hawks are out pushing one of Donald Rumsfeld’s big ideas. These are the same Democrats, by the way, who helped sell the Iraq war. Yes, like everyone else who thought that was a great idea, they still have jobs telling us what is and isn’t a great idea. The New York...

Hell of a run. Rush is still the top dog in talk radio. Twenty years, has it really been that long? Today, Donald Rumsfeld gave him kudos. For his twenty years of excellence in broadcasting. I've seen him twice, in Nashville. The first time in his 'Rush to Excellence' tour, probably in 1989 I think; then in 1993 when he was the keynote speaker at the NRA convention. The guy is wildly funny,

Muriel Kane Published: Monday May 19, 2008 http://rawstory.com/news/2008/911_truth_groups_dissect_Rumsfelds_another_0519.html A newly-revealed speech delivered by former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld before an audience of Pentagon-sponsored military analysts in December 2006 is providing ample grist for 9/11 conspiracy theorists. An audio recording of the speech was one of a large number of...

Eighteen months after former secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld retreated from his post under heavy criticism for, among other things, mishandling of the invasion of Iraq and leigitimizing torture as an interrogation technique, one of his major ideas is enjoying a sort of mini-revival. Notably, the idea -- Rumsfeld’s plan to reorganize American forces around the globe – hasn’t been reintroduced...

Here's a look at Oliver Stone's made up fantasy film about George W. Bush. File this one under comedy. The guy they have playing Karl Rove looks realistic, the one playing Donald Rumsfeld not so much. The libtards suffering from BDS will probably go watch it; otherwise, this one will be straight to DVD within a few weeks.
