What's Rumsfeld doing with his free time?
 

Well, he put up a Christmas tree...

Pretty close, his stock options can now be taken out of "blind trust" status, and as we all know, Haliburton has done rather well the last five years.

If there is any justice all all, he is inviting bleeding-heart traitor liberals to go skeet shooting. Seems he recently took some lessons from a co-worker and is getting better at it.
I sure hope he has plenty of ammo. I've got some extra I'd be willing to donate to the cause ;)

Hey, he could go shooting with Cheney!

Personally, I'd like to see him take a stroll by himself down the main street in Baghdad. Or maybe you could join him? Let's see how safe he's made things.

He's probably reliving his shame each time he turns on the TV, the radio, or picks up a newspaper.

Forget the millions of $$$, his ego has been stepped on and rubbed out, and that hurts more than anything else.

Who knows. Maybe this will keep him busy...

Yeah. But no one gives two blinks about the German court and their efforts. They've tried this before with very little success. At worst, Rummy can't set foot inside Germany, not that he'd ever want to.

The Unknown

As we know,
There are known knowns,
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don’t know we don’t know.

- Feb 2, 2002, Dept. of Defense news briefing

and another

I was briefed on that story before I came down.
I have not gone over it.
It’s interesting.
Let me try to put it in context,
And then I’ll see if I can answer it.
I have no idea what it’s about

I think he's working on a remake of the famous "There Once Was a Man from Nantucket".......

I think those poems ran in the New Yorker magazine. You know, in time of chaos, the poets are the first to get their heads chopped off. Rumsfeld proved that point. :D

probably looking for a cheap ghostwriter to write his best seller on how liberal democrats ruined his warring... like an antidote book for "Against all enemy's"... he can price it at 100 USD a pop and still all neoconfused republicans will buy it , then once that is finished, then he'll start running round in the speakers circuit

I'm sure the worst Sec Def in history is shopping for a nice suit to wear when Dubya gives him his Medal of Freedom.

Whoa there techweenie!

Robert Strange MacNamara was EASILY the worst SecDef in US history. Rumnamara is a distant second worst.

So, when do you leave, pusswa?

Tech, Snipe-
How do you define worst? Worst strategy? Worst at obeying the law? What, exactly?

Can't agree there. McNamara was lame, but Rummy was a blundering dolt fixated on cutting the size of the Army and over-relying on large, high tech tactical weapons -- despite the fact that the conflict he was engaged in would deepen and broaden through the use of these weapons in urban environments. Big bombs in small, mixed neighborhoods = collateral damage. Collateral damage in tribal societies = tribal/familial vendettas. The soldiers on the ground paid (and continue to pay) the price for collateral casualties in the hundreds of thousands.

There are parallels, and arguably, they are close in some respects, but Rummy is the worst modern SecDef, IMO.

And McNamara was utterly consumed by fitting everything in life into a tidy mathematical equation.

They're both terrible, but McNamara had over 20x the body count of dead US troops on his doorstep as Rumnamara does. Also in circa 06 dollars Vietnam cost about 10x the price Iraq has so far.

Hopefully someday they can both discuss their failings to their nation while slow-roasting on a spit. In hell.

We can certainly agree on the last part.

As probably the best SecDef in history; we can only hope he is writing a book to help future military leaders.
