Remember back in the heady days of 2002, when everybody thought Donald Rumsfeld was a hunka-hunka burnin old guy, with his vacant aphorisms and his abysmal ignorance of everything for which he was supposed to be responsible. I mean, there were people getting positively moist over the wrinkly mastermind. Turns out hes just as much of a soulless, greasy creep as the rest of them were. Speaking on Fox News, Rumsfeld slammed President Barack Obama over his failure to secure a status of forces agreement with outgoing Afghan President Hamid Karzai that would allow US military forces to remain in Afghanistan beyond 2014. A trained ape could get a status of forces agreement, Rumsfeld said on Monday, noting that the US had similar arrangements with more than 100 other countries. Under Donald Rumsfelds leadership, you may recall, the United States went to two wars with inadequate preparation, and one of them was purely based on lies. He had something cute to say about that. The Afghanistan part of the equation was swiftly forgotten, but not before Rumsfelds Pentagon had blown a chance to get a hold of Osama bin Laden at Tora Bora. Resources were shifted over to Iraq. He had something cute to say about that, too. Almost 5000 Americans, and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have died. ISIS was born. And now Donald Rumsfeld, who couldnt manage a toy boat in a washtub, gets to say something cute about the president. Also, its not About Race because it never is About Race. - Charles P. Pierce
