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.

RIP,

If not for W Bush, Rumsfeld would have been a great SoD.
W ruined everything.

R.I.P. Mr. Secretary. My favorite Rumsfeld quote:

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.

“You go to war with the army you have, not the army you wish you had.”

Rumsfeld’s strategy of Maneuver Warfare in Gulf War I was brilliant, and had our adversaries terrified by our demonstration of might. Then GW Bush came along with wars of occupation, trying to win “hearts and minds”, only to prove America is not so invincible.

While I don’t want to come off disparaging others fond memories of him and I respect their rights to their opinions, I will remember him as one of the quintessential NeoCons of that era, along with Dick Cheney.

While I wasn’t an enemy, as the article states, I really didn’t care for the mans policies.

Quite a long article chronicling Rumsfeld’s life without mentioning the cause of his death!
