A man who was considered a "war hawk" due to his obsession with the "Fight on Terror." A man who left the mess of two wars in the hands of Barack Obama, Washed Up 45 and Joe Biden.
Now as Biden is withdrawing troops from Afghanistan upholding Washed Up 45's deal with the Taliban, the news of Donald Rumsfeld's death comes.
Rumsfeld served as Secretary of Defense for George W. Bush and Gerald Ford and was central to the plans involving the invasion in Afghanistan and later Iraq.
He passed away at the age of 88 in Taos, New Mexico.
"It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of Donald Rumsfeld, an American statesman and devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. At 88, he was surrounded by family in his beloved Taos, New Mexico. History may remember him for his extraordinary accomplishments over six decades of public, but for those who knew him best whose lives were forever changed as a result, we will remember his unwavering love for his wife Joyce, his family and friends and the integrity he brought to a life dedicated to country."
Bush selected Rumsfeld for his second stint as Pentagon chief in 2001. Rumsfeld vowed to shake up the military bureaucracy, seeking to make it leaner and more agile.
September 11, 2001 became the test of Bush and Rumsfeld. The attack killed over 2,994 Americans.
Rumsfeld promised revenge against those who funded and inspired the attack. Bush ordered Rumsfeld to attack the al-Qaeda's home bases in Afghanistan. Within weeks, U.S. military and NATO troops went into the longest war in American history. They managed to topple the Taliban and force al-Qaeda's spokesman and chief financier Osama bin Laden into Pakistan.
Rumsfeld and then vice president Dick Cheney decided to settle an old score. They gave Bush the false information about Saddam Hussein, a dictator to the Iraqi government being involved in the attack on American soil.
Bush pushed us into the War in Iraq which led to some of the most brutal moments in American military. Cheered on by Republicans, Fox and white nationalists, we were led into the bullshit about "us versus them." We became more embolden to the lies and misinformation from Fox, the Israeli government and American government.
The profiling of Muslims became a theme of Republicans. Scapegoating Muslims is still a common theme here. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) as well as then lawmaker turned Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison were scapegoated as "anti-Semitic" because they criticized the American and Israeli government and compared the brutal treatments of prisoners of war as inhumane. Some believe the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria are mounting towards Holocaust numbers.
Then of course, the Guantanamo Bay military prison in Cuba became another theme of Rumsfeld.
The Bush Administration was putting people in the American base prison without due process. Bush and Rumsfeld held them as "enemy combatants" and to this day we're still having over 80 people still there without a court trial on American soil.
Bush was successful in leading American troops into finding Hussein in a safe house. The former dictator was ousted when the U.S. and Iraqi opposition forces did a coup against Hussein.
Hussein was convicted and executed by the state.
The war in Iraq led to the rise of the Islamic State. Previously known as the al-Qaeda in Iraq, the leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi led a force against the American military. He would be one of the most ruthless.
The American troops were injured or killed by roadside bombs and improvised exploding devices. He did not give two fucks about troops. All he wanted to do is get rich and leave men dying.
Rumsfeld was fired out the cannon in 2006 and went back to the private life. He managed to continue on his quest to making his legacy a war criminal known.
Bush, Cheney and some former members of the Bush Administration offered their condolences to the family.
