Here is a link to a video, since CNN's embed code is totally borked, for anyone who cares what a disgraced and discredited old sociopath thinks about anything. It is your third most favorite unindicted war criminal, Donald Rumsfeld! He was on the teevee with smarmy phone-raper Piers Morgan, saying words about how scandals are bad.
You do not have to watch this video because here are the best parts:
Pierre asks something like, “Hey, are scandals real?” To which Rommel replies:
“Well, one is bad, two is… four… and three is… ten.”
And also this:
“The old rule is, there are two rules in Washington.”
That is some fascinating math! It is almost like when all the generals say you are going to need a certain number of troops to complete a mission, but fuck that, because it is a known known that “four is ten.” Jesus, this guy.
Your Wonkette remembers a single time, long ago, when Donald Rumsfeld gave us a brief flicker of hope: It was at the very dawn of the Bush Era, before we knew what horrors lay in store, and Donald was giving a press conference to announce he was cancelling the XM2001 Crusader fighting vehicle as part of an effort to recast the military as a “leaner, meaner” fighting force. Good, we thought; maybe a Republican administration will have political cover to finally devise a military policy reflecting the fact that the Cold War was over, and we’d get that peace dividend we’d been hoping for.
Hahahaha we were fucking stupid.

Donald predicts cost of the Iraq in 2003… "... something under $50 billion for the cost. How much of that would be the U.S. burden, and how much would be other countries, is an open question.”
NEW YORK, March 14, 20013 (Reuters) - The U.S. war in Iraq has cost $1.7 trillion with an additional $490 billion in benefits owed to war veterans, expenses that could grow to more than $6 trillion over the next four decades counting interest,
Idiot.
