A Wingnut Who Will Die and Quit Talking Soon, Unfortunately

Hussein greets Rumsfeld, Baghdad, December 20, 1983.

Here are a few select quotes from back when Rumsfeld couldn't shut his bloody mouth:

• I'm not into this detail stuff. I'm more concepty.
• I can't tell you if the use of force in Iraq today would last five days, or five weeks, or five months, but it certainly isn't going to last any longer than that.
• And it is not knowable if force will be used, but if it is to be used, it is not knowable how long that conflict would last. It could last, you know, six days, six weeks. I doubt six months.
• But no terrorist state poses a greater or more immediate threat to the security of our people and the stability of the world than the regime of Saddam Hussein in Iraq.
• You and a few other critics are the only people I've heard use the phrase immediate threat. I didn't, the president didn't. And it's become kind of folklore that that's what's happened.
• We know where they [Iraq's WMD] are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south, and north somewhat.
• As you know, you go to war with the army you have, not the army you might want or wish to have at a later time.

Of all the wingnuts who lied us into the Iraq War, only Donald Rumsfeld comes close to the contempt I feel for Dick Cheney. If only Rummy would peruse the list of replies to his tweet on the anniversary of the $6 trillion blood bath they lied us into, he'd have found this gem from Rob Delaney:

.@rumsfeldoffice Except you & your bosses, you blood-gargling psychopath.

What a shame this blood thirsty fucker is going to die soon. His twitter feed is a wondrous helping of wingnut talking that'll go down in history as the power crazed rantings of a "blood-gargling psychopath."
