Donald Rumsfeld, who charted an impressive Washington career serving under four presidents but whose legacy largely was defined by his controversial tenure as defense secretary during the Iraq war, has died, his family announced Wednesday. He was 88.
Rumsfeld, a confident adviser to power with a trenchant style that made him admirers as well as enemies, had a long and winding career in public life that spanned five decades. He had been a congressman and a White House chief of staff, and had a successful corporate career, too. But it was his second term as secretary of Defense from 2001 to 2006 – during the most tumultuous period of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars – for which he is most known.

Prayers. Loved his press conferences.
Isn’t he the one GWB ‘laid off’ the day after the 2006 midterm elections ?
A man’s man. No woke BS when he was Def Sec.

True, that.
Hats off to him for making it to 88. RIP.
Not a transsexual.
RIP!
Anyone know if he was vaccinated?
I’ll always remember him saying:
“There are things you know,
Things you know you don’t know,
Things you don’t know you don’t know.”
Rip Mr. R.
I always liked Rumsfeld. If the Chicoms attacked us militarily, this would have been the guy I’d prefer be in charge. Having said that, he is as guilty as that boob GWB for the worst, most expensive military quagmire this country has ever seen.
‘Anyone know if he was vaccinated?’
Is that the new code word for ‘Arkancide?’
RIP Donald Rumsfeld, one of America’s best
EVERY Senator and “journalist” who supported that war should have been hung after a war crimes trial. Anyone who wasn’t against it is no better than any supporter of Hitler’s invasion of Poland. the dumbest, most shameful thing the United States has ever done.
Yes.
RIP
one less war-monger
RIP Mr. Secretary.
RIP,
“You go to war with the army you have”
If not for W Bush, Rumsfeld would have been a great SoD.
W ruined everything.
Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because 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. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tends to be the difficult ones
The above drove the MSM crazy.
