In an explosive interview with Al Jazeeras English Washington bureau chief Abderrahim Foukara, former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld blasted the journalist for haranguing and refused to answer his questions accusing Foukara of having it in his being to be disrespectful.
The heated exchange erupted when the topic came to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Foukara asked Rumsfeld whether he felt responsible for the deaths of innocent Iraqis because, according to Foukara, the Bush administration didnt secure the borders of the country and sent in too few troops.

Foukara asked Rumsfeld whether he felt responsible for the deaths of innocent Iraqis because, according to Foukara, the Bush administration didnt secure the borders of the country and sent in too few troops. The world only supports an "open borders" policy in American't apparently.
Islamic JIHADISTS from countries OTHER THAN IRAQ are responsible for the deaths you mushhead. They were funded by Iran and other Islamic supremacist nations.
But go ahead and blame the Americans who wasted blood on ungrateful bastards like AJ Jackasses.

Rummy, Cheney...these guys are still fighting. If they weren’t still out there doing it, things would seem even bleaker than they are. I don’t think the undisciplined kids in the White House quite get the defense the grown ups are running for them.

Obviously, A J would have had a better interview with Harry Reid.

I’m still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that Rumsfeld granted an interview to a muslim organization. What’s up with that? In any case, good that he set the jerk right but gosh...what was the point?

I just wish Bush would jump into the mix. I read his book (outstanding, by the way), and wish he would defend his policies against Obama’s. Please Mr. President, defend yourself.

I admire Rumsfeld so much. What I wouldn’t give to spend an afternoon with that guy.

Yeah, I’m a Rummy fan myself. I still have that Esquire mag interview years ago where he stated that he does not have a chair in his “negotiating/staff room” because sitting down accomplishes nothing. Eisenhower also BTW, when he was in the ops room and when speaking to his generals, always were standing up because if they started sitting down, they turn to “talking” and not “solving”.

He is! We were blessed he was there when most needed.
And true enough, what I wouldn’t give for him to be there
now. Authentically, The Donald.
My .. you’re dead on. Those are the grownups we’re missing today. Fumbling adolescents are all we now have.

Eisenhower sure "solved" illegal immigration in 1953 with 'Operation Wetback'. Simple and brilliant. Need it today times 10.
