"...a complete abandonment of principles."
Heh. That's rich coming from him. He and Wolfotwits having a discussion on the merits of principle is scary to contemplate. What a yo-yo... :mad:
Drum Rolls, Bugles Blare, Rumsfeld's Memoirs
Quote:
Rumsfeld to Write His Memoirs
Donald H. Rumsfeld, who resigned as secretary of defense in late 2006, will write his memoirs for the Sentinel imprint of Penguin Group USA. Mr. Rumsfeld, 75, will cover not only his years in the Bush administration but also his experiences with Presidents Richard M. Nixon, Gerald R. Ford and Ronald Reagan; his work in the private sector; and his early life.
Man I cannot wait to get my copy....
After WWII, the Center for Military History made its name for the next 4 plus decades with the Green Book series.
What are we going to call this peculiar group of memoirs emerging (dripping? spewing?) from the icons of the current administration? The Dream Books?
We have so far
George Tenet's "They Were Mean to Me"
Bremer's "I was only a proconsul so don't blame me"
Feith's "Damn the State Department, You guys go with Ahmed (Chalabi)"
Franks "COIN? Who needs a coin?I am outta here"
Who will be next?
Powelll--naw he did his 10 years ago and the ending was better
Cheney--no way
Conde Rice--possibly
Wolfowitz--possibly if he can get the World Bank to front the advance
Tom
somewhere in all this, there has to be...
...a "Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and Feith walk into a bar.." joke.
I suspect they were in James Baker's attache case
when he made his swing through Paris, Berlin and Moscow in December 2003 and all three nations suddenly did a vigorous about face and agreed to forgive massive quantities of Iraqi debt after six months of saying they would NEVER do that...
Maybe it was something he ate...
like those "Hearts, Stars, and Horseshoes, Clovers, and Blue Moons! Pots of Gold and Rainbows, and me Red Balloons!" :D
