As we near the 6 month anniversary of a war #DisasterDon believed would only last a few weeks, I think younger voters deserve a reminder of Sec of Defense Donald #Rumsfeld predicting the #Iraq War would only last:
"Six days, six weeks... I doubt six months."
(link takes you to the spot :40s in.)It went on for 11 years (and took a #Democrat to end it.)

If you think the problem is just Trump, you've missed the bigger picture... #usa #trump #maga #georgewbush #rumsfeld #moralwaver #neonazis #whitesupremacy #terrorism

I believe America and other democracies have the capability of working together for the collective good.
Pissing off other countries like #Italy as Trump did, does little to advance the cause of #democracy. To be clear I’m no fan of #GeorgiaMeloni but let’s say I’m old enough to remember #Rumsfeld and his #OldEurope stupidity during #GulfWar II.
America at its best can be a force good and at its worst can be incredibly destructive. Such is the case right now

What Was The Point of October 7th? How the US-Israeli War Against Iran Was All Part of the Plan
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYudVjjt2E8 What did Yahya Sinwar and the other leaders of Hamas expect to gain in the long run from the Al-Aqsa Flood in October of 2023? Most media in the US and UK have overlooked this question over the two and a half years since the flood began. So it's no surprise that those same media outlets have been blindsided by the US and Israel's War against Iran and the massive geopolitical quagmire they've created as a result, but when we consider what Sinwar […] -
Even our second most stupid president, #GWBush, was able to get #rumsfeld, #Wolfowitz, and #cheney to invent their #weaponsofmassdestruction charade… #trump has no such brains in his cabinet to support his absurd claims. He should just admit that all it took was #Netanyahu to say “jump”with the added bonus of diverting media controversy from #epstein

A LITTLE REMINDER that Donald #Rumsfeld… making the case for invading #Iraq at #Aviano AF Base… surmised that the war would likely only last "6 days, 6 weeks, I doubt 6 months."
#IranIt lasted NINE YEARS.

Ja: China hat sich 2005 strategisch für EE entschieden und sich voll darauf konzentriert.
Als autoritärer Staat hatte es bei dieser (richtigen) Entscheidung dann weniger Probleme mit Querulanten und Saboteure wie bei uns im Westen #Altmaier, #Merz und jetzt #Reiche ..
.. oder noch drastischer: #Bush, #Cheney, #Rumsfeld bzw. als deren Fascho-Nachfolger #Trump, #Rubio, #Hegseth & Co.
Autoritäre Staaten können sich natürlich auch falsch entscheiden, siehe USA ..

#British #mainland #airbases directly used by #IDF cargo and #MidAirRefueling aircraft throughout the #genocide, including since the #Starmer administration took office.
The #UK government and establishment are in on this genocide to the hilt. Literally a principal sponsor of the destruction of the #Palestinian people.
As the #WarOnTerror was enabled by #Reagan era neo-cons (#Cheney, #Rumsfeld, #Perle, #Wolfowitz) and the Project for a New American Century, so Starmer's #Labour participation in this genocide was devised, insured, foreshadowed and the precursors put in place by #Blair, #Mandelson and #Blunkett right down to the #terrorism legislation now used to silence and persecute dissent.

Those dreaded "unknown unknowns"? (Pardon my #Rumsfeld impersonation.) -
@owillis1977 not following?
The Iraq war was contrived by #Cheney, #Wolfowitz, and #Rumsfeld … they had us all conned into #weaponsofmassdistraction
What does that have to do with the #democraticparty’s idiotic election strategy?

🔴 Just saw the #Rumsfeld #hashtag being used on Mastodon and my memory took me back to this #quote:
“Reports that say that something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don’t know we don’t know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tends to be the difficult ones.”

Democrats need to straighen up and take a page from #Rumsfeld:
“You go to [the election] with the [candidate] you have, not the [candidate] you might want or wish to have at a later time.”

@realTuckFrumper @realTuckFrumper #Bush was just #Cheney , #Rumsfeld , and #Wolfowitz 's stooge... his only crime was letting those three lead the country while he took a back seat. Very much like #putin 's #Medvedev puppet, it only looked like he was in charge.

@workingclasshistory you’re blaming the Washington post? Others are blaming #Powell’s UN speech? It was #Cheney, #Rumsfeld, and #Wolfowitz who had plotted to overthrow #saddam since The #Reagan administration https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/iraq/etc/synopsis.html
