4. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld is also a failure

in the article

Asked if Bush should apologize to the Sept. 11 families for the government's failure to prevent the attacks, Rumsfeld said the president has made clear his sorrow.

"I think the president has recognized the failure that existed and the concern he has for those people and the fact that the government, our government, was there and that attack took place. I don't know quite what else one would do," the defense secretary said on "Fox News Sunday."

With a budget in the 500+ billion (probably close to a trillion when you consider all the periphery required to keep it in place)the guy has nothing but few detached words. I never ever considered the fool to be protecting anything except other peoples fraud or ill gotten profits for his personal friends

Shouldn't they just call him Secretary of Traitors Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld
