Rummy said he never gave an optimistic assessment

of the postwar period.

Rummy on Jim Lehrer Newshour.

Challenge, can you find what Rummy said about the postwar reconstruction? He's dodging the bullet again. I don't believe him.

1. He's not dodging the bullet....

...he's lying his ass off, unless former Secretary of the Army Thomas White is lying...

Speaking of Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz, White said, "Their view of the intelligence was much different. Their notion of it was resistance would run away as the few remaining Saddam loyalists were hunted down.

Link to WaPo story of 9/8.

3. Thanks, I knew it.

Bet there's a lot more out there.

Greet us with flowers and rose water. Yep.

2. Not believe Rumsfeld?

Rather than prove that, how about if he proves that anything he has said is actually true?

I will never forget the Rumsfeld briefing where he described the looting and criminal behavior let loose on Baghdad as Iraqis joyfully celebrating their liberation.

The man is a complete failure as Defense Secretary and a clown to boot. Donald Rumsfeld is America's "Baghdad Bob".
