Rumsfeld, if he travels in certain countries abroad, will be arrested and be turned over to international tribunals for war crimes.
In America, he should be remembered as the SOD who not only refused to follow the prophetic recommendations of General Shinseki but had him retired. Rumsfeld should publicly acknowledge his failings and apologize to the American people.

He admits to planning to invade Iraq immediately after 9-11.
No proof then...no proof now
Add how badly he botched the unwise invasion and you realize why history will have such contempt for Rumsfeld

Jarhead and Publius1787 could support their statements that Rummy is no different than the other guys mentioned.
They can't, though. No, wait a minute. They could make a comparison of Rumsfeld with McNamara. They both were war criminals.

Eric Shinseki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shinseki publicly clashed with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld during the planning of the war in Iraq over how many troops the U.S. would need to keep in Iraq for the postwar occupation of that country. As Army Chief of Staff, General Shinseki testified to the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee that "something in the order of several hundred thousand soldiers" would probably be required for postwar Iraq. This was an estimate far higher than the figure being proposed by Secretary Rumsfeld in his invasion plan, and it was rejected in strong language by both Rumsfeld and his Deputy Secretary of Defense, Paul Wolfowitz, who was another chief planner of the invasion and occupation.[4] From then on, Shinseki's influence on the Joint Chiefs of Staff reportedly waned
It is unknowable how long that conflict [the war in Iraq] will last. It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months." -Don Rumsfeld in Feb. 2003

Publius1787's statement clearly reveals that his view of history through a distorted prism of partisanship and bias. Conservatives wanted the internship of enemy aliens in WWII and would not be denied. Truman, a pragmatic liberal, integrated the armed forces. Having 'nuclear bombs' was a liberal plot? The GOP supported LBJ on the Tonkin Gulf Resolution as did the Democrats on Bush's reasons for invading Iraq.
"So then I guess Obama is in agreement with Rumsfeld seeing as he, too believes that nothing close to hundreds of thousands of troops are necessary for the "postwar" occupation of Iraq. // Why did you post this rediculous quote? Do you belkieve we should have several hundred thousands off troops over there for years to come?"
We see a fallacy of false comparison of Obama and an outright error. First, please give the exact number of American troops in Iraq. Second, Obama inherited the war and has dramatically drawn American troops there and recharacterized the mission.
You biased homers have to give this up, because you will get outed every time you try it.
