Rummy More Chamberlain than Churchill MarySusan 09/05/06
    Frank Rich on Rumsfeld: "More Chamberlain Than Churchill"

    New York Times | Mother Jones | Posted Sunday September 3, 2006 at 08:24 PM

    "Frank Rich turns a scathing eye on Donald Rumsfeld this week, writing an op-ed that Bush won't read about a guy Bush won't fire. Still, it needs to be said. Rich magnanimously declared that Rummy had outdone his previous gems of "stuff happens" and "you go to war with the Army you have" with his latest comparison of Iraq war critics to appeasers of the Nazis in the 1930s. Rich reminds Rumsfeld that he has a long memory, aided and abetted by the Internet:

    Here's how brazen Mr. Rumsfeld was when he invoked Hitler's appeasers to score his cheap points: Since Hitler was photographed warmly shaking Neville Chamberlain's hand at Munich in 1938, the only image that comes close to matching it in ***epochal obsequiousness*** is the December 1983 photograph of Mr. Rumsfeld himself in Baghdad, warmly shaking the hand of Saddam Hussein in full fascist regalia. Is the defense secretary so self-deluded that he thought no one would remember a picture so easily Googled on the Web? Or worse, is he just too shameless to care?

    Rich notes that Rumsfeld was singularly lacking in tough talk back in that 1983 visit...."

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    I think we have all seen that picture of Rummy shaking Saddam's hand....look it up if your memory fails.

    How long do you think Rumsfeld has left on the job?

      Clarification/Follow-up by tomder55 on 09/06/06 7:30 am:
      perhaps I can look at those photos of FDR shaking Stalin's hand and then accuse him of appeasement also ?
