The Genius of Donald Rumsfeld: What We Shall Miss. Maybe but Doubtfully

Rummy:
Today it should be clear that not only is weakness provocative, but the perception of weakness on our part can be provocative as well.
Link.

Exactly so.

Which is why you don't make threats you can't or won't or shouldn't back up.

Rummy and the rest of the nutjobs painted us into a fine corner resulting in one the worse-planned -- to the extent it was planned with any care for anything past the first few weeks -- military adventures ever.

What Rummy brought us was, to say the very least, a great disservice to our country. Although one say so inept a perfomance in so important a job could well be characterized as treason. And the appointment of Rummy and his gang can well be argued to be a ground for impeachment.
