Comments on: Rumsfeld: ‘I Have Not Even Attempted’ To Follow What’s Going On In Iraq, Too Busy ‘Arranging My Papers’ http://thinkprogress.org/2007/09/15/rumsfeld-fox-interview/ Wed, 25 Nov 2009 22:37:55 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Kevfors http://thinkprogress.org/2007/09/15/rumsfeld-fox-interview/comment-page-4/#comment-4081391 Kevfors Tue, 18 Sep 2007 03:21:15 +0000 http://edit.thinkprogress.org/2007/09/15/rumsfeld-fox-interview/#comment-4081391 It's good to see Rumsfeld again. An enormously talented and competent man who had the impossible task of being the head of the DOD without a worthwhile intelligence agency to back him up. It would also be helpful to have his side of the story on how the Iraq war became such a difficult struggle. The media can’t even cover OJ or Paris Hilton without getting half the story wrong. I can’t imagine they were even close on Iraq. I hope people realize that newspapers are mostly pandering junk written by hacks. This piece of knowledge will help you not to go crazy when the world does not jibe with what you are reading. There are so many seemingly crazed responses on here. I often wonder why you people hate your lives so much. I hope many will move on and find your place in the world and leave this childish ranting and paranoia behind you.

How can he be an "ideology and terror expert" at a think tank if he isn't even staying up to date on the news? I'm sure he still follows the war, he just doesn't want to comment on it because it's going so badly--just like when he was in office. It's easier to pretend he doesn't know so he can talk about his think tank and his book. That’s really embarrassing.
