Rumsfeld's Additional Accomplishments
By Al Kamen
Friday, November 17, 2006; Page A23

Seemed Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld had barely left his Oval Office firing ceremony when the Pentagon Web site popped up with a new feature titled "Six Years of Accomplishments" with Rummy.

First and foremost were his accomplishments in the "war on terror," where overall, military efforts "liberated 50 million people in Afghanistan and Iraq." More specifically, they've "liberated 31 million Afghans from Taliban control and destroyed Al-Qaeda sanctuary." And they've "liberated 27 million Iraqis from a brutal dictatorship and turned over sovereignty of the country to an Iraqi government."

Math, apparently, is not a strong point. Somewhere it seems they lost -- or gained -- 8 million people.
