More Pentagon Papers Donald Rumsfeld Doesn’t Want You to See

[Swede]

In July 2004, as the Iraq War spiraled out of control, Donald Rumsfeld ordered a staffer to draw up a "What Did Not Happen?" memo—a list of potential bad outcomes that had been avoided—to make himself feel better. Things could be worse, right?

Then they started happening. The "What Did Not Happen?" memo—which Gawker obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, along with thousands of pages of other documents from Rumsfeld's tenure—is practically a parody of Rumsfeld's truculent blindness to his own failures. In a bid to justify the wisdom of his Iraqi misadventure, he commissioned a list of pitfalls he had avoided at the very moment that they were happening all around him.

1. What an incompetent dickhead.

It is unbelievable to me how arrogant these assholes were, and they didn't have a clue as to what they were doing.

Rumsfeld should thank his lucky stars that he isn't in prison.
