Rumsfeld Lashes Out (calls Jimmy Carter Confused?)
Rumsfeld Lashes Out
The Drudge Report has a copy of former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's forthcoming memoir, Known and Unknown, and teases these highlights:

* Lashes out at Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and Joe Biden for flip-flops on Iraq: "You wouldn't want to be in a foxhole with them."
* Disputes Secretary of State Colin Powell's claim that he was "duped" by administration on Iraq WMD
* Says John McCain had "hair-trigger temper" and "a propensity to shift his positions to appeal to the media"
* Shares his side of a decades long feud with Bush 41
* Recounts weird meetings with a confused President-elect Jimmy Carter
* Quotes Kissinger during last days of Watergate: "Rummy, we don't even argue with Nixon anymore"

5. I was thinking of Rummy as I saw the Egyptian people
giving their soldiers flowers yesterday. He was beyond confused when he said Iraqis would greet US troops with flowers.
Rumsfeld is no Jimmy Carter.

8. "Known and Unknown"?
I thought it was going to be called "Skeletor's Big Book of Origami".
