IN 1971 the White House was mired in a war it could not win. There was enormous public pressure to bring the troops home and the White House was split about what to do.

Then president Richard Nixon was particularly annoyed with a White House staffer who had opposed the war.

Heading the small group that wanted to end the war more quickly than did secretary of state Henry Kissinger and Mr Nixon was a former congressman named Donald Rumsfeld. Mr Nixon called it "the Rumsfeld problem" and in a conversation with his chief-of-staff, Bob Haldeman, said: "I think Rumsfeld may be not too long for this world."

Bush1. We didn't see it coming, but how could we - they were working behind the scenes planning, and plotting for these moments.

Notice how everything * trying and does dismantle connects back in time to FDR's treaties, and policies he in placed.

The list is long but start with Social Security, and work your way up to the year Reagan came in, and who is VP was.

Things add up, now. We didn't see it coming, but many historians say neither did the German people, or Russians.

Edited to Add: Think of FDR and what he did to *'s grandfather and the world bank, and on his mother's line, too.
