Rumsfeld: If Obama Was A 'Trained Ape,' U.S. Diplomacy Would Be Better

Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld on Monday blasted President Barack Obama's diplomacy, saying a "trained ape" could do a better job.

In an interview with Fox News host Greta Van Susteren, Rumsfeld complained that relations with Afghan President Hamid Karzai had gone “downhill like a toboggan” under the current president, even though the Bush administration's ties with the Afghan leader had been "first rate."

"A trained ape could get a status of forces agreement," he added. "It does not take a genius."

Rumsfeld said he also understood why Karzai backed Russia's takeover of Crimea.

“I personally sympathize with him to some extent,” he explained. “Nobody likes to hear a foreign leader side with Putin on the Crimea the way he has. But I really think it’s understandable, given the terrible, terrible diplomacy that the United States has conducted with Afghanistan over the last several years."

I would have thought Donald would say Obama IS a trained ape.

But not even that.

Rumsfeld should be talking, he was heavily involved in starting the Aghani war himself. Duh.

War criminal calling the kettle black.

What would you do instead of going into Afghanistan in 2001?

How about taken action on the CIA's warning issued a full month before the 9/11 attack:

Rumsfeld: noun: the crust around one's ass when wiping is incomplete.

If it was up to Rumsfield we'd be in WW3 by now.

...Well it just goes to show you, that even an Idiot can be correct sometimes.

Even a vicious, smelly, babbling old neocon lying next to the dessicated remains of Jeane Kirkpatrick, with photos of Pinochet and Mussolini on the wall above the bed and the Victrola playing the Horst Wessel Song - even such a person could have said this.

Tell us again where the weapons of mass destruction are, Rummy!

This is your answer? If you fail to prevent something and shit happens, do not retaliate? Nice.

He never had a chance to appropriately cleanse the Middle East and Southern Russia with military might.

Why do they hate the valiant?

You miss the point. He is like Bush, or Cheney, or Rice, or Bolton, etc. They have no right to say anything. They should be convicted war criminals and false flag criminals.

YEAH! But who would make the Better President?

I mean "THAT'S" all that is important, that one Asshole, isn't that Sorry no good son of a Bitch. "Sorry no good son of a bitch" being any incumbent variable.

If you want to just toss out names to justify another criminal, I have nothing to offer you, but your Voting record.

No my answer is to do something to PREVENT the attack. Especially when you are explicitly warned by someone who's job it is to provide reliable, detailed information.

But OK you'd rather focus on the response to the 9/11 attack. So how about the failure to decapitate al Qaeda including Bin Laden at Tora Bora in December 2001:

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/12/15/how-bin-laden-escaped-in-2001-the-lessons-of-tora-bora.html

That failure also belongs at least in part to Rumsfeld.

If Rumfuck is so enamored of apes, put him in the monkey cage at the zoo and douse him with chicken gravy.

Apes are monkey's but monkey's aren't necessarily apes:

Of course this is all a moot point if the zoo monkeys don't care for chicken gravy.

The whole idea of Iraq having WMD's was ridiculous to begin with. So what if indeed they had them? And we know where they got them. Just an absurd rationalization to do what Bush wanted to do from day one. War criminals.

I like Rumsfield.
We brunch every so often at the Sbarros on 5th and Oak....

Rumsfeld needs to be tried, convicted and executed for treason.

23   Y   2014 Mar 28, 12:41am  

Why all this hatred for Rummy?
I thought all you Lib-errrr-rawls were all for love, flowers, and heroin??
