Finally! A mainstream journalist (Keith Olbermann) had the guts to call out Rumsfeld for his fear-mongering rhetoric and historical ineptitude.
For years I've been disgusted by the way the secretary of defense so arrogantly dismisses reporters or others who question him or disagree with his views. Olbermann (possibly the greatest sports anchor ever from his ESPN days) proves his chops as a journalist of high caliber by putting both Rumsfeld and the Bush administration in its place.
Perhaps Olbermann's remarks will set off a wave of thoughtful criticism of the Bush administration. Or, was Olbermann's critique the natural outcome after several weeks of depressing news from New Orleans and consistently bad news from Iraq?
Either way, see Olbermann's remarks...

CNN did a great special on Don Rumsfield "Man of War" about his inability to take blame on anything in Iraq. I thought it was well done and played to his arrogance regarding his mistakes. We need a leader to take blame for things they do wrong. Rumsfield is a perfect example of that. He seems to get more out of making a show of his press conferences to answering the questions he should be.
As usual, I disagree with everything you said. Bush is the best president this country has ever seen and Rumsfeld is a hero.
