American Thinker: Cooking the Intelligence Books
I am reading this book. The amount of information this man puts forth is amazing.
Did I think he was perfect - not at all. None of them are. We are electing human beings...not gods.
However I will always like and deeply respect the man for who he is and what he did for love of country.
Donald Rumsfeld was indeed pugnacious, not a handicap for a warrior. The two-time Secretary of Defense was a college wrestler, a fighter pilot, and a retired Navy captain. He did not suffer fools gladly; his candor was often mistaken for arrogance. Alpha males are seldom appreciated among the girly men and khaki sniffers that frequent Pentagon press conferences.
The charges of sanctioned torture and of strategic incompetence are more serious, yet even less credible."
