A few questions for Donald Rumsfeld

I think you mean “A few answers from Donald Rumsfeld”

I think I can safely say the original post is not suitable for Great Debates. :slight_smile:

I think RTF is symbolically illustrating the emptiness of political rhetoric.

I thought the OP was a direct quote from David Kay’s blockbuster of a report on all the weapons the team has found in Iraq.

I think we’re overusing the phrase “I think”.

And yet, ironically, Iraq is a country awash in “person to person” arms. I suspect history will show that Saddam Hussein enjoyed for a decade, playing the role of provocoteur - the spoiler who simply delighted in “doing in” the collective heads of US Presidents - and yet, all along quietly dismantled all the shit which could have got him into deep trouble.

Just to upset Donald if he decides to show up in this thread.

What’s that? Speak up, son!

The only question I have left for him that he might have a useful answer to is “Why haven’t you resigned yet?”

Rumsfeld prefers to write his own questions:

Are Iraqis glad to see us? Without a doubt!
Was Saddam an evil dictator? Most certainly!
Are interviews easier when I ask myself softball questions? Goodness gracious yes!

I think you are mistaken in thinking that we are overusing the phrase “I think.”

Just a thought.

Aaaargh!! I hate it when my OP gets eaten. And this one was kinda long; I don’t expect to have time to re-compose it today. The gist was that he had a long op-ed piece in yesterday’s Washington Post, and I had some problems with, and questions about, a number of specific things he said there.

Maybe tonight, if I can find the time.

Meanwhile, if a mod could close this thread, I’d be much obliged. I’ll start a new one if I rewrite my OP.
