The finest responses to Rumsfeld’s Iraq tweet

[DonViejo]

Bush's Secretary of Defense wanted "appreciation" for the botched war. Twitter users gave him what he deserved

BY NATASHA LENNARD

As noted earlier, on the 10th anniversary of the Iraq invasion, marking a war that saw up to 134,000 Iraqi civilians killed and has cost the U.S. $2 trillion and counting, George W. Bush’s Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld tweeted that “all who played a role in history deserve our respect & appreciation.” And if there were ever a known known, it’s that such a tweet from such a man will invoke some pretty great responses:

Donald Rumsfeld ✔ @RumsfeldOffice
10 yrs ago began the long, difficult work of liberating 25 mil Iraqis. All who played a role in history deserve our respect & appreciation.

1. Problem is he's probably jerking-off to the responses.

No way he didn't expect exactly what he's getting.

2. I went to Twitter to look at some of the tweets and

going back in time on his twitter feed, I saw that in October, he either hosted or spoke at a fundraiser for none other than Allen West! He referred to West as a patriot, I believe.....didn't West leave the service under a dark cloud?

Rumsfeld is an asshole and an ignorant fool.
