RE: Ronald Dumsfeld
I'm not going to try to defend Rumsfeld, but let me say this.
Add a ing stupid ass reporter asking some idiotic question (like where do you think Bin Laden is know?), and those answers are ing brilliant. Nothing like mocking a reporter asking "tough" questions. (Bin Laden is currently at 4 Rosemont Circle, Kabul, Afghanistan...)
Rumsfeld was terrific during the 9/11 crisis. He was honest, forthright, and he took time to answer lots of questions.
It is apparent now, however, that that was the pinnacle of his career. He is actually a bully, and a prick. Like what you said above.
But seriously - if you are going to quote someone, put te quote in context, PLEASE. I have watched Rummy absolutely patronize idiotic reporters with simple answers, like the ones above, and they make complete sense when you hear his tone of voice change.
