Donald H. Rumsfeld: “When people are writing the history books, you're going to be in it.”

We went to war with the Army we had, not the Army we would have liked to have.

But, as Donald Rumsfeld, who, sadly, passed away today, said numerous times, the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.

No terrorist state poses a greater or more immediate threat to the security of our people and the stability of the world than the regime of Saddam Hussein and Iraq.

Freedom`s untidy and free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things, stuff happens.
