Rumsfeld was an ego-maniacal idiot.
Anyone with objectivity would know that the more fundamental issue was not the condition of the army.
. . . The important question was the honest justification for war and there simply wasn't any so they contrived one and concocted WMDs out of whole cloth.

Leftists continue to make the false allegation that Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld lied about WMD's because they have no integrity. Acting in good faith, based on imperfect intelligence reports, doesn't make you a liar.
