too soon or different times compared to Fog of War


Rumsfeld is given the McNamara treatment just a few years after his time as Sec. of Defense rather than 40 years later. That makes a big difference. I doubt Rummy will feel guilty later on (& probably won't be here in 40 years ). Plus, McNamara got to hear how horrible he did for all those years while Rummy will have righties that will say he did the right thing until he passes. Vietnam leaders got vilified, Iraq leaders know they have a split public & if they keep on with "history can judge as later, we felt we did what was right..."

Hope that smirk works at the Pearly Gates, Don.

Expansion to your ego.
