<snip>

Bush was using the word informally, or as the dictionary defines "fantastic": Informal use, extraordinarily good.

But in fact, there are three more common definitions of the word that fit Rumsfeld -- who we have to assume agrees with Bush -- much better:

Definition #1: Conceived or appearing as if conceived by an unrestrained imagination; odd and remarkable; bizarre;

Definition #2: Imaginary or groundless in not being based on reality; foolish or irrational;

Definition #3: Highly unrealistic or impractical; outlandish.
