The New York Times: Reports " Donald Rumsfeld, Defense Secretary Under 2 Presidents, Is Dead at 88...Mr. Rumsfeld, who served under Gerald Ford and George W. Bush, was in charge of the invasion of Iraq and later said that the removal of Saddam Hussein had “created a more stable and secure world.” "
Lets Get Real:
Donald Rumsfeld was a great American, he served as Chief of Staff to President Ford when he came in to OFFICE after the scandal that was Watergate, they kept the ship of State afloat, after that post Ford moved him to be Secretary of State, a hard job after Vietnam. After Ford, Rumsfeld help the Reagan Administration when it came to Iraq, at the time Iraq was at war with Iran, the Reagan Administration wanted neither side to WIN. Then after 9/11 Rumsfeld had to get the US in to WAR in Afghanistan and be ready for Iraq. No one expected the War in Afghanistan to last 20 years, and recently President Biden has ordered the removal of ALL US troops from Afghanistan, one does wonder what the former Secretary of Defence thought of that. There are still troops in Iraq, one has to wonder how long Biden will keep the US in Iraq, as stated by this blog, Biden has not been right about foreign policy for over 40 years why change a habit of a lifetime. This blog salutes the late Secretary of State.
