Is Rumsfeld senile?
He knows damn well there are not enough soldiers to fight all of these damn wars that they keep starting. This old bastard has the damn nerve to get angry because they are asking him questions about soldiers doing two and three tours. C-span right now

2. No, just mean, nasty and intent on misleading. He enjoys lying to them

The press is no longer laying down and rolling over, did you notice?

5. This bastard just flipped off the reporter who asked the question...
" Are you the only one who is going to ask questions" Then he went on to dodge the question and called on someone else. Nobody is falling for the bull they need to stay on all of their asses. I want to see some backbone and no backing down on bush.

3. Not senile. Just doesn't care and gets annoyed that he has to talk
to reporters and answer questions. He's an opportunistic pig and knows there is no moral justification for ANYTHING he has done. He resents having to answer to us lesser beings.

6. The problem is he knows he f----ked up everything
and doesn't want to be held accountable. He can keep on being annoyed I'm annoyed that these bastards think that they don't have to answer questions,every other administration had to.

4. I don't think he's smart enough to become senile
He's always been a laughable failure. Only someone as god-awful stupid as Bush would hire him for anything.

12. I'd rather see the FBI arrest him and the rest of the filthy dogs in the
administration. Stepping down would be good, but it would be too easy an exit for such a bloody criminal.

13. I can agree with that ..
what was I thinking , my anger overtook my common sense. I can think of even more that should happen to him and we can throw in some of their talk show hosts and commentators.

9. One has to have a brain in order to be senile.

11. The question goes deeper than that.
If the old buzzard is senile now, what about before? Has he ever been, like a fantastic leader, a shrewd commander who led his troops to victory? Or how about his years in private industry. RumsFool did leave the government, you know. He was a VIP for Searle Pharmaceuticals.

How did that go? Well, the company prospered, but guess why? RumsFathead got crony contracts from the government to the company. It did really well. In the meantime, he fired people left

RumsFailed continued this policy when he became the Secretary of Defense. He gutted the Pentagon; purged anyone who disagreed with him. Career generals, top-notch people who put in a lifetime of service were out because they were gutsy enough to tell him he was full of shit.

Think of the number of people who REALLY hate this man because he impacted their lives.

Answer = being senile doesn't matter. The old Fool is incompetent to begin with.

14. He's just another one of the Boy King's cronies...
When Chimpy stole office the first time, all he did was bring back all the felons from the Ray-gun and Bush the Smarter (but no less evil) administrations. I think Rummy is insane as opposed to senile and the bastards who are running this nightmare think he throws the opposition off with his strangeness.

15. Yes, I absolutely think he's insane.
I've watched him in congressional hearings, and I always though that. The Old Boy holds up for a while, but after about 40 minutes, he starts to come unglued. He becomes hysterical, angry. His voice goes higher, to a whiny pitch. He snaps at people, in particular anybody who questions anything he's done or policies. He hates being questioned!

I always thought the old goat was unhinged. And I think you're right: he's so weird that people sort of back-off; give him some room.

Welcome to the DU, goose 739!:smoke:

17. Bush is the same...
they keep hiding him and protecting him and giving him earpieces. I want to see it all hang out, I want a situation where he keeps getting pounded with questions he can't answer and he says some things to show the deeper hidden anger, that always is at the surface.

18. Rumsfailed is a Sociopath.
He is responsible for thousands of deaths and maiming of Iraqis and US Troops. His policies are directly responsible for US troops deaths and severe wounds because he did not provide them with the proper equipment. He is a criminal. He is guilty of criminal negligence and also of War Crimes.




Rumsfailed Admitted to Violating Geneva Convention

Rumsfailed admitted in public on TV that when CIA Director Tenet requested that an Iraqi prisoner be sent to a secret Afghan/US Prison that Rumsfailed did so. After four months a DOD Attorney stated that this was an illegal act. Rumsfailed then ordered that this prisoner be sent back to Abu Graihib but the prisoner was purposefully not listed at that location, also an illegal act. Rumsfeld also admitted to signing orders for tougher interogation methods which violated the Geneva Conventions.

Rumfailed has commited at least three violations of the Geneva Convention thereby also violations of The Constitution of the USA. Recently it has been found out that even more detainees were "ghost detainees". The fact that Rumsfailed and Tenet have not been charged speaks volumes. If Congress wishes to garner any respect they should move forward with Rep. Rangle's Impeachment Declaration of Rumsfailed and also prosecute Ex. CIA Tenet.

The US, Govt., Congress, and the Justice Dept no longer abide by the Geneva Convention or the Constitution of the USA.
