Rumsfeld to Diane Sawyer: 'It's Possible' Troop Decisions Were a Mistake in Iraq

<snip>
More than four years after leaving public life, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld continues to believe the war in Iraq was worth the effort, and has no apologies for his decision-making in leading the campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq.

In an exclusive interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer, Rumsfeld concedes that "it's possible" that decisions on how many troops to send into Iraq marked the biggest mistake of the war.

"In a war, many things cost lives," Rumsfeld told Sawyer.

Pressed on the fact that President Bush has written that cutting troop levels in Iraq was "the most important failure in the execution of the war," Rumsfeld called that "interesting."

1. all i want

is to see them pay for their crimes. fat chance sadly.

[malaise]

2. We all want that

We'll have to depend on foreign judges.

[Marie Marie]

19. Much more likely that they will be PAID for their crimes.

All these assholes, who were wrong about everything, are now raking in the big bucks with these bogus books they are peddling. There is no justice, nothing to see here, can't look back...

[sabrina 1]

3. The number of troops is not the issue, the war was wrong,

it was based on so many lies, to list them all you'd have to write a book. But a lot of people made a lot of money and we have lots of bases over their guarding 'OUR' oil that the Iraqis had the audicity to be be sitting on.

Why don't they just go away? What's with them reminding us constantly of the crimes they committed? Don't they have enough money without trying to profit from the blood they have on their hands?

Shameless criminals and living in a country where they know there will be no consequences for them.

[burnsei sensei]

4. Mr. Rumsfeld, you made war,

profitted by war, and felt no regret.
Damn you straight to hell. And the ass you rode in on.

[Cleita]

5. Disgusting old fart.

He has the blood of not only Iraqis and Afghanis but Americans on his hands for his role in the invasions of those two countries.

[TNDemo]

6. He keeps saying how everybody believed there were wmds.

But never acknowledges that Scott Ritter was being very loud and public about how they can't have them. Of course that was not the message they wanted to hear and tried to kill the messenger. And tried to kill Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson too (hopefully not literally).

[SpiralHawk]

10. The Republicons are in full press mode to re-write history

The Republicons lied. They are responsible for those lies and for the death and desruction and financial ruin which followed from the lies.

[malaise]

15. Any day now they will turn on one another

The blame game is on in earnest. Condi and Colin may respond.

Lock them up together - they are fugging war criminals

[SharonAnn]

13. What's funny is, I didn't think there were WMDs. And even if by some chance,

there were WMDs, Saddam had no way to deliver them.

What was he going to do? Fed Ex them to the United States?

No air force. No missiles. No navy.

He couldn't even have gotten them to Israel.

We had him contained, his air force grounded, and no military could fly or leave Iraw without our OK.

He was in a box! Much cheaper and safer to have left him there.

[stevenleser]

21. The UN weapons inspectors issued reports 2 weeks before the war saying Iraq had no WMD

7. Thousands die needlessly - that's interesting

You wanna douse him in lighter fluid and toss him a flaming Zippo, just to see how "interesting" Rumsfeld's reaction would be.

[underpants]

8. So he is pulling a Beck to sell his new book?

Hey Rummy - you caused more tears than any single human has in almost 30 years you despicable lying bag of shit

[Flubadubya]

9. Where was the lightning bolt when he blatantly lied...

and said that neither he nor any of the Bush administration wanted to go to war in Iraq? :puke:

Also, Diane failed to ask the most burning question: "Why haven't you been indicted for war crimes yet?" :grr:

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

11. He didn't have enough troops for Afghanistan!

Then he pulled some of them out and invaded Iraq.

[BlueJazz]

12. I wanted to throw my shoe at the TV but calmer parts of me prevailed.

This guy is one of the worst liars and enablers I've ever seen.
...and truly not that bright.

[Kennah]

14. Probably bumped into the Boner and they spilled one another's drinks

That's the reason for the tears.

[soryang]

16. Mistake? That is what guilty felons always tell the judge when...

...caught red handed. Then the judge does the obligatory correction informing the self serving remorseless psychopath of the difference between a "mistake" and intentional criminal actions. It is in the course of such a discourse that you realize that the criminal's mendacity warrants no mitigation of the just punishment he deserves.

[EFerrari]

22. "It was an unknown unknown, Your Honor".

I want to hear that someday.

[spanone]

17. hey rummy in this 'unecessary' war, you, bu$h* & cheney cost all the lives

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

18. He and his co-conspirators should be telling that to the judges in The Hague.

[Bozita]

20. It's on Nightline NOW!

[opihimoimoi]

23. He is an Idiot who never should have been elevated to his office. ..cost Bush dearly
