Assuming Boehner is referring to Casper Weinberger, I wonder if he intended it to be a compliment....

from Wikipedia-

Following his resignation as Secretary of Defense, Weinberger was placed under indictment by Independent Counsel Lawrence E. Walsh. The formal indictment charged Weinberger with several felony counts of lying to the Iran-Contra independent counsel during its investigation. Weinberger received a Presidential pardon from President George H. W. Bush on December 24, 1992 after he had failed to win a second term.

1. And Brownie was doing a "heckuva" job.

And John Snow (former treasury secretary) was doing a fine job. (No joke that is actually what they said.

The irony here is that Rumsfeld actually knows how much of a crappy job he has been doing, he submitted his resignation to the President several times only to have it turned down.

Boehner is delusional.

I guess anyone who thinks "Boehner" sounds more like bainer and not like boner has to be delusional.

2. He's doing as good a job in Iraq as Robert McNamara did in 'Nam.

4. A Rethug defending a War Criminal. Surprised?

Further Evidence Rumsfeld Implicated in War Crimes
Please read this important post by Marty Lederman, Army Confirms: Rumsfeld Authorized Criminal Conduct.

Here's a key section, but there's more:
The Army's charges against Jordan reflect the view, undoubtedly correct, that the use of forced nudity or intimidation with dogs against detainees subject to military control constitutes cruelty and maltreatment that Article 93 makes criminal. It doesn't matter whether they are or are not "torture," as such; nor does it matter whether the armed forces should be permitted to use such interrogation techniques: As things currently stand, they are unlawful, as even the Army now acknowledges.

But then how can we account for the actions of the Secretary of Defense and his close aides?

On November 27, 2002, Pentagon General Counsel William Haynes, following discussions with Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz, General Myers, and Doug Feith, informed the Secretary of Defense that forced nudity and the use of the fear of dogs to induce stress were lawful techniques, and he recommended that they be approved for use at Guantanamo.
(The lists of techniques to which Haynes was referring can be found in this memorandum.) On December 2, 2002, Secretary Rumsfeld approved those techniques for use at Guantanamo -- and subsequently those techniques were used on detainee Mohammed al-Qahtani.

In other words, the Secretary of Defense authorized criminal conduct.

...

Today's Army charge under UCMJ Article 93 against Lt. Col. Jordan -- for conduct that the SecDef actually authorized as to some detainees -- demonstrates that Rumsfeld approved of, and encouraged, violations of the criminal law.

3. Boenher's got a boner for Rummy

If one reads Woodward's newest book, "State of Denial", one can see that Rumsfeld didn't just fuck up the war, he fucked up the Pentagon. His so called "streamlining" was nothing more than a petty power grab. The damage that asshole has done to our armed forces will be with us for decades.

5. When Repug Generals call for Rumsfailed's firing

it is obvious that he needed to be fired and charged with War Crimes long ago.

Rumsfeld Shouldn't be Fired, He Should be Indicted
by Matthew Rothschild

“Secretary Rumsfeld has publicly admitted that . . . he ordered an Iraqi national held in Camp Cropper, a high security detention center in Iraq, to be kept off the prison’s rolls and not presented to the International Committee of the Red Cross,” the report noted. The Geneva Conventions require countries to grant the Red Cross access to all detainees. “

http://www.commondreams.org/views06/0418-24.htm

Recently it has been found out that even more detainees were "ghost detainees". The fact that Rumsfeld has not been charged speaks volumes. If Congress wishes to garner any respect they should move forward with Impeachment Declaration of Rumsfeld.

7. Knows where all the bodies are buried at the Pentagon

B'r. actually said this ABC today as a reason thar Rumster was an effective Sec of D.

What an incredibly insensetive metaphor.

The bodies I'm worried about are the ones that are coming everyday out of Iraq.
