Rummy is dead.
How should we remember the architect of one of America’s most abusive military industrial complex adventures?
Rummy was an insider while being the ultimate outsider. His time in so many administrations while loathing the establishment made him more enemies than supporters.
His intelligence and vision amounted to little more than venal national self interest devoid of any morality.
Making Iraq a CIA client state to punish Iran for revolting against the CIA Iranian coup while selling Saddam Hussein the weapons of mass destruction that the Bush Administration then faked the present day existence of as a false pretext for war is so immoral your average Drug Cartel would blush.
That was Rummy, a ruthless win at all costs mercilessness that was more Hannibal Lector than Sun Tzu.
It was Cheney who unleashed his full malevolence and on the evening of September 11th Rummy infamously demanded a link to Iraq.
That madness cost $2Trillion and saw hundreds of thousands dead.
His infamous quote about unknowable knowable’s was the sort of smart arse undergrad answer that some mistook as charm when it fact it was intellectual vanity.
He wad the morality of a piranha and in any other country he would be a war criminal.
America’s exceptionalism allowed him to be a technocrat of collateral murder and walk free.
He is no revel to be reverted, he is a cautionary tale of hubris and how it can cause titanic misery.
He deserves no rest nor any peace.

Is 88 old enough for the adage about only the good dying young to be proven again?
The low life psychotic shill for murder, blood and capitalist sponsored profit should have been suffocated at birth. His disregard for others place him among the few of the worst murderers of all time along with those who gave him the power to do so. Iraq and Afghanistan were planned long before 911 was manufactured as the excuse to get brainwashed US herd of sheep to back the 1,4 million slaughter that hangs around rumsfeld’s neck but unfortunately didn’t strangle the swine.
Normally I am not for violence but to honour this pathological criminal liar yet jail truth tellers such Assange shows the sickness of the US mindset.
But NZ did join them under the guise of reconstruction which was a home grown lie that the Kiwi public should have filled the streets with protest and stopped our part in the murderous spree. Helen Clark was complicit on that one.
Biden is another murdering bastard we back at our peril and the peril of other innocents we accept false propaganda about through our Reuters driven RNZ with persistent anti china / Russia / Syria/ Libya/ Venezuela………and dozens of others who have done us no harm.
Many Americans saw nothing wrong with what he did and oversaw, because he was AMERICAN. Situational ethics/morality: that’s the term philosophers use, I believe.
Well, I guess that he’ll have found out about the known unknowns now, won’t he!
For once, something happens that unites the Left.
Biden’s record is no better. What is the net set of instructions he will carry out disregarding life or attempts to bring better prosperity to the poor.
Theses people are psychopaths by definition and take instructions.
