S E E D E D C O N T E N T
June 30 - Donald Rumsfeld, a forceful U.S. defense secretary who was the main architect of the Iraq war until President George W. Bush replaced him as the United States found itself bogged down after 3-1/2 years of fighting, has died at age 88, his family said in a statement on Wednesday.
"It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of Donald Rumsfeld, an American statesman and devoted husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather," the statement said. "At 88, he was surrounded by family in his beloved Taos, New Mexico."

Never really liked the man but he could and did make me laugh ... RIP you curmudgeon.
Rumsfeld was one of those very high IQ people who thought people like them were destined to run the world.
They were called The Best And The Brightest once upon a time.
not by me...
he's the dumb ass that signed off on selling 2 nuclear reactors capable of producing weapons grade material to north korea when he was on the board of a swiss company that builds them. his old bff cheney sold replacement parts thru a shell company to iran to rebuild their dated french reactor, also capable of producing weapons grade material, during the US embargo. both sales happened within a few years of each other close to the turn of the last century. google it.
It's been reported that upon reaching Hell Rumsfeld immediately started advising the Devil on how to take over Heaven and occupy it for a thousand years. /s
No use for him at all.
Like he had nothing to do with starting the war..
Pretty callous thing to say, but considering the source not surprising.
Yeah...he said some pretty horrible things about the troops and the danger they were facing. However, I will say, RIP, Mr Secretary
he's now where all nixonites eventually end up.
good riddance.
No loss. I don't mourn this ghoul passing. One less war monger.
I wonder if they buried him standing up.
He was so twisted that they screwed him into the ground.
because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't know we don't know.
I knew what he meant but there had to be a better way to say it, lol.
Bullshit baffles brains.
He did play a very large role in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people for essentially no good reason. Not a real loss. My sympathies to his family though.
