Well, was that what he was hired for?
To run around starting wars? I don't think that's what the American people thought their country was all about. Certainly the Bush administration intended it, though.
Starting wars? He didnt do that.
What? OK. He didn't start the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, or act as a "key architect". That was all a dream. I guess I should wake up now.
While I wake myself, I'll put this here:
Donald H. Rumsfeld, Defense Secretary for President Gerald R. Ford and a key architect of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan when he served in the same role under President George W. Bush, died on Tuesday. He was 88.
The Middle East wars, America’s longest, came at a huge cost. The U.S. spent an estimated
on the two invasions and occupations, losing nearly 7,000 U.S. service members in the process. Meanwhile, an estimated
died in Iraq and Afghanistan, mostly national police, military, civilians, and opposition fighters.
The wars also unleashed unrest across the Middle East as the U.S. military fought the Taliban and the Saddam Hussein regime, and then later a number of insurgent groups.
