Whatever you do, don’t miss this exclusive interview with Donald Rumsfeld by Fafnir:
A small sample:
[Fafnir]: Now Secretary Rumsfeld, there are a lot of people criticizing your handling of the war over things like the undermanning of the military, the not preparing for reconstruction, the letting crazy militias run whole cities. What is your response to those critics?
DR: Well, jeepers, it’s hard to say. It’s easy for those people, in their press boxes and their ivory towers, to sit back and criticize without having to do the actual work of running the military. Now would another secretary of defense have done a better job, or do a better job? That question comes with a lot of unknowns. Some of those unknowns we know, and some of them we don’t know. Do we have a metric for these known unknowns? Are there more unknown unknowns than known unknowns? Is that another unknown? We just don’t know.
Simply priceless.
I thought i’d be at the long end of a line of the conservative end of this blog shaking their heads at this blathering. Guess not!
Fafnir is beloved in these parts Wilfred…he leans slighty left but gives it hard to the liberals as well…
Don’t look now, but the bin Laden interview is even better. “I had no idea you were such a policy wonk Osama bin Laden.”
Edward, was commenting on Rumsfeld’s own words, not Fafnir.
Oh, I assumed Fafnir just made those up? You mean they’re real?
Oh,…nevermind…see your point…(too early for subtlety.
