More bashing of Bush admin in Stripes: Rumsfeld was a catastrophe

An excerpt (and when Rumsfeld dies, I will join in the chorus, below, as I have in the past):

This ex-Navy lieutenant acted as a self-made pragmatic international politician and war-planner. He has no Vietnam War experience an academically qualified political science analyst. Rumsfeld, like his working colleagues in the administration, has shown total disrespect for international law and the Geneva accords regarding human rights. Jointly, he caused more harm to our worldwide image than any other politician.

Rumsfeld�s military �brilliance� has been an unambiguous catastrophe. This disaster has caused a loss of nearly 3,000 U.S. servicemembers and the death of more than 20,000 Iraqi noncombatants.
