Chamberlains - all of us
Donald Rumsfeld says we’re all Neville Chamberlain.
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld compared critics of the Bush administration to those who sought to appease the Nazis before World War II, warning Tuesday that the United States is confronting “a new type of fascism.”
Donald Rumsfeld is an asshole. Because if anything, his bungling of Iraq has enabled extremists to annex the Sudetenland that is the Sunni Triangle (using his metaphor - with which I disagree).
I haven’t heard any serious people in the States suggest that we appease al Qaeda or its surrogates anywhere. On the contrary, most Bush Administration opponents argue that the Pentagon and White House aren’t doing nearly enough to combat terrorism at home or in Iraq.
So, if we’re Chamberlain, does that make Rumsfeld McNamara?
