The memoirs of the Bush warmongers ever stranger. After U.S. President George W. Bush has thrown his "Fairy Tales " on the U.S. market, moves to his former Secretary of War Donald Rumsfeld and tops his former boss one of self-righteousness, arrogance, and of history. The essence of this ensemble is that all have done everything wrong up to Donald Rumsfeld! Even at 78 years is Rumsfeld serenity or wisdom from any age. As a die-he is still fighting the battles of yesteryear. Its dogmatism is frightening. It could result from the fact that he has been both the youngest (the 13th) and the oldest so far (the 21st) U.S. Secretary of Defense. His capacity for self-criticism or even to question his many mistakes him leave. Whether it is by its very age stubbornness may be due, he settles old scores and blame only distributed, but are forgetting as central to the levers of power acting actor? In particular, Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell get punched in the stomach. You may reply to the in the memoirs of Professor be curious. Of the foreign leaders get from the former Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and former French President Jacques Chirac her fat. The latter raises Rumsferld "cynicism" before. Who does not remember his division of Europe into "old" and a war-willing "new"? Here, too, Rumsfeld sees the error only in the other.
Rumsfeld was not only "famous" for his cynicism in the various press conferences, but also for its Orwellian word play. "Reports that say that something has not happened are always interesting to me 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 so unknown unknowns - the ones we do not know we do not know "Remember this is not the Israeli" after Orwellismus "from the" present-absentees "
As Rumsfeld half of his memoirs of the time 9th? / 11 is dedicated, it seems nearly 70 years of his political existence not to have gone so exciting. As for the fictitious Iraqi WMD, "we've all been wrong." Thus, historical revisionism also be operated. It would have been 1983 on Rumsfeld's "state visit" in the Iraqi despot Saddam Hussein like to know more than he in submissive posture could have the best greetings of U.S. President Ronald Reagan brought him good and conveyed the same commitment for the supply of U.S. poison gas to Saddam has killed not only the Kurds in northern Iraq, but the Iranian attackers. In the eight-year war against Iran Saddam was the darling of the U.S. empire, before he later described as "Hitler" demonized. Rumsfeld is doing as if he had been a voice of sanity in an insane asylum, which is called the White House. The servant may not have been better than his master. What about the torture prisons in Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, Bagram and other crimes on behalf of the U.S. military or the U.S. democracy? Thu you feel remorse, Mr. Rumsfeld? No, repentance is not a category in the minds of a cynical power politics. By the way, but there were others.
Rumsfeld almost the only peers in the Bush administration with Glaceehandschuhen to: Dick Cheney, the most powerful vice president or president under George W. Bush true. He is treated as an equal among equals, that is rarely mentioned, so Rumsfeld's star shine even brighter can. The more than 4400 dead U.S. soldiers, the complete destruction of the entire infrastructure of Iraq, the millions of refugees and the fury of the terrorists in this country, everything is not worth mentioning: "Stuff happens," Shit happens, no remorse, nothing, only arrogance, dogmatism and blind hubris.
Perhaps this memoir-Marathon will only be topped by Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice. It is in these concoctions is not an explanation, but massive historical misrepresentation to suggest that a devastating eight-year presidency for posterity in a better light. If it soothes the conscience of the elite of the U.S. empire, so be it. No one believes their euphemisms, but the "believers" neo-cons and Christian fundamentalists. Rumsfeld's remarks are not worth the paper on which they have been printed, let alone $ 36. By a translation into other languages can only be strongly discouraged, because this truth constructed justifications nobody needs to put out the English speaking world for information. That the book a "fascinating narrative for today's readers and to unprecedented resource for tomorrow's historians" was the opinion of advertising copywriters, whose denial of reality qua profession is inferior to that of politicians in anything.
