Rumsfeld™, © Bush Inc. 2006

What do you think they have on him? I mean, no one acting of their own free will would continuously say things publicly which make them look like a fool. Literally over and over and over again. It's like being trapped on the funhouse ride in an endless loop.

Either he is unable to remember, from one day to the next, what he's doing or saying which would make him mentally handicapped - or - someone owns him. Someone - some very powerful someone - has either bought him outright or is blackmailing him.

I mean, he was a respectable guy. Not to say he was a good guy, far from it, but when he took this latest stint as Sec. of Def., he had some credibility...he was respected. He was a congressman, an ambassador, a businessman. So he's not an idiot. He knows what he's saying.

So lets have a look:

While he attended Princeton his roommate was Frank Carlucci, former tool of the CIA in the Congo where he helped assassinate Patrice Lumumba, and former Sec. of Def. under Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush, and the current Chairman emeritus of the Carlyle Group, whose primary business is selling weapons to the US Gov. and various other tyrants.
Rumsfeld served in the United States Navy from 1954 to 1957 as a naval aviator and flight instructor, and then in 1964 was elected to Congress in Illinois' 13th district (which looks to be the suburbs of Chicago) and was re-elected three times. While a Member of Congress he served on the Joint Economic Committee, the Committee on Science and Aeronautics, and the Government Operations Committee (PDF), as well as the Subcommittees on Military and Foreign Operations. He then resigned from Congress to work for Richard Nixon as the Director of the United States Office of Economic Opportunity, and later Counselor to the President in December of 1970, Director of the Economic Stabilization Program; and member of Nixon's Cabinet (1971-1972).
Nixon, in case you didn't know, was a creation of Prescott Bush, a Nazi sympathizer who actually did business with Hitler during WWII, George H. W's dad and little George W's grampa. A search for 'Nixon Bush connection' turns up this - references to The Kennedy assassination. Hmmm.....
Rumsfeld was Gerald Ford's Chief of Staff in 1974, and then his Sec. of Def. in 1975. As part of the Ford administration, Rumsfeld helped formulate the White House response to the death of CIA scientist Frank Olson , a sordid tale of biological weapons experimentation and human rights abuses. This also where Dick Cheney rears his ugly head.
From Wikipedia: From 1977 to 1985 Rumsfeld served as Chief Executive Officer, President, and then Chairman of G.D. Searle & Company, a worldwide pharmaceutical company based in Skokie, Illinois, whose products included, among others, the oral contraceptive pill Enovid. During his tenure at Searle, Rumsfeld led the company's financial turnaround that in turn earned him awards as the Outstanding Chief Executive Officer in the Pharmaceutical Industry from the Wall Street Transcript (1980) and Financial World (1981). Rumsfeld is believed to have earned around $12 million from Searle's sale to Monsanto. It was under Rumsfeld that Searle got the Food and Drug Administration's approval for the controversial artificial sweetener , aspartame, which it marketed as NutraSweet. Some believe that aspartame's approval was influenced by conflict of interest and that persons involved in the aspartame approval process were rewarded with high-paying jobs or consulting positions.
He spends the next 15 years he holds various government posts, serving under Reagan, Bush I and Clinton, until being appointed Sec. of Def. again by Bush 1 1/2.
Upon researching this, the name that pops up repeatedly in association with Rumsfeld is Bush. First Prescott, then George I, and now George 1 1/2.
He was intrinsic to the creation of Saddam Hussein and the nightmare the Middle East has become. He is a college chum of Carlucci, an arms dealer who is also a good chum of George I and II. He's a member of the Project for A New American Century, was a chairman of the RAND Corporation, sold Nuclear Reactors to North Korea, and got wealthy off the suffering and exploitation of others. He helped orchestrate the militarization of the US economy, their aggresive, illegal foriegn policy, and probably the clandestine surveilance being carried out on the US population in direct violation of their constitution (with the most likely purpose being to gather information in order to blackmail people).
