Rumsfeld Slams Obama On Syria, Calls Him Weakest President In His Lifetime
By M. Alex Johnson
Deriding President Barack Obama as the weakest president "in my adult lifetime," former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld called on the White House on Tuesday to fish or cut bait in Syria.
Rumsfeld said there could be no middle ground in Syria: "You either ought to change the regime, or you ought to do nothing," he said during a question-and-answer session after a lecture at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum in Grand Rapids, Mich.
In his customarily colorful way, Rumsfeld, 81, picked away at Obama for declaring last week that any U.S. response to Syria's alleged use of chemical weapons against its own people wouldn't target President Bashar Assad.
"Why would you go in and fire a shot across the bow?" asked Rumsfeld, who served as Ford's defense secretary during the 1970s and again as head of President George W. Bush's Pentagon during the planning for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in the early 2000s.

Its the unknown unknowns that we worry about.
I miss Rummy..the epitome of a great Secretary of Defense.
Amen!
Gotta love Rummy’s blunt speak about Obama’s “gift of being worse than even Jimmah Carter.”
Zer0 is a community organizer pretending to be presidential.
He’s one of the reasons why I became American from canada. Idiot moron canadians hated him during the Iraq War, and whomever canadians hate an American, I idolize. When the world flipped about his “that’s old Europe, this is the new Europe”, that was it for me LOL
Kerry and Obama are like cats in a bag.
Since you can't guarantee who will win from 1,000 miles out to sea, you do nothing
Its the unknown unknowns that we worry about.
With people like Obama, Kerry, McCain, Graham, Reid, and Pelosi running things, the unknown unknowns are the least of our problems.
Very good comment.
He’s worse than weak, Mr Rumsfeld.
He’s evil.
These days of Ubama, Biden, and Kerry sure are different from the days of Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld.
Congratulations, America. Nice president you elected. Twice.
Keep your fingers crossed this nation survives.
Me too.....
“There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don’t know we don’t know.”
“The trouble isn’t what people don’t know, it’s what they know that isn’t so. “
“Keep your fingers crossed this nation survives.”
Obama is laughingstock right now and I can’t help but wonder how hes going to lash out next. Nobody, but nobody laughs at the Royal Ass and gets away with it.
