Fort Leavenworth — Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld will be in northeastern Kansas this week to address military officers and sign books for the public.
The Leavenworth Times reports that Rumsfeld is to speak at 10 a.m. Friday to officers attending the Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth. Afterward, he'll sign books at a public event at Fort Leavenworth's Post Exchange.
Rumsfeld served as secretary of defense under President Gerald Ford in the 1970s and during the administration of President George W. Bush.
He has been touring the country to promote his memoir, "Known and Unknown."

Ask him what happened to the missing trillion$ from the DOD while he was supposedly manned the head office.
Ask him where he got this money for his private foundation.
Ask him exactly what that private foundation is doing today.
Ask him about this statement from his leaked memo:
"Should we create a private foundation to entice radical madradssas to a more moderate course?"

Does anyone here know how to connect the dots?

In fact, ask him just why (!!!) the military stood down on 9-11 and on no other time in recent history.
Where was the extremely well-funded armed forces on 9-11 and why weren't they interested in protecting the country that day?
So far, there has been no real and/or believable response to those questions. So far, no excuse has been good enough to answer all the questions.
Should not they try to create yet another excuse as to why the military completely and totally failed on 9-11?

I'm more concerned with the war crimes he was responsible for post-9-11.

I vote republican. I served when Rumsfeld was DOD first tme around. The invasion of Iraq was not thought out and followup operations were executed poorly for four years under his watch. When President Bush got rid of him, the situation in Iraq improved. I supported the invasion. I assumed they had a plan for afterward, they did not. I used to plan and evalute military operations so I know what I'm talking about.

So, wasting $trillions in taxpayer money for no good reason, and sending thousands upon thousands of military service members off to be needlessly slaughtered is "America loving?"
Please explain.

Wow, danno, I think oldbaldguy just pwned you.
Flawless!

Bozo is right. Just because some one questions or criticizes government policy does not make that person unpatriotic. Iraq the second time around was a mistake, at least the way the Bush administration did it. I am glad Saddam is gone. I am not sure it was worth it.

Danno is probably from Ft. Leavenworth.
You know, the guys who visibly and audibly bristled while Daddy Bush was being Heckled at the Leid Center, the Lords of War (and not at all a group of respectful, honorable guys, not with their "girls" on the side and STDs constantly making the circuit among them.You think I don't know about all this,... the DOD lords of war with child porn on their computers!).
Oh yeah, what a great group of guys!!!!

Now remember, I am not talking about the average soldier.
I am however talking about the average military officer, especially the ones that get higher up in rank. And rank is indeed what they are.

I voted for reagan twice.
I just never voted for a Bush. And never ever will.

Rumsfeld, like GWB, will never go outside of this country again (with the possible exception of Israel). Articles of arrest for war crimes are ready and waiting at the Hague the very second they do. I don't even think Great Britain would welcome either of them, despite the fact they have a conservative govt and Cameron is the PM and Tony Blair was GWB's lap dog.
GWB has sense enough to stay in TX and shuttle back and forth between golf on his ranch and cocktail parties at his "town" home. Rummie should do the same.
