- Donald Rumsfeld is the former Secretary of Defense who bears much of the responsibility for launching the unwinnable War in Iraq, failing to secure the military victory in Afghanistan and the embarassing Guantanamo Bay decision. Rumsfeld established a record of failure as foreign policy and military decision-makers that exceeds even that of Vietnam War Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. The failures of Iraq and Afghanistan are the products of the elitism and pathological secrecy of the neo-conservatism.

- Donald Henry Rumsfeld (born July 9, 1932) is an American politician and businessman. Rumsfeld served as the 13th Secretary of Defense from 1975 to 1977 under President Gerald Ford, and as the 21st Secretary of Defense from 2001 to 2006 under President George W. Bush. He is both the youngest and the oldest person to have served as Secretary of Defense. Additionally, Rumsfeld was a four-term U.S. Congressman from Illinois (1962–1969), Director of the Office of Economic Opportunity (1969–1970), Counsellor to the President (1969–1973), the United States Permanent Representative to NATO (1973–1974), and White House Chief of Staff (1974–1975). Born in Illinois, Rumsfeld attended Princeton University, graduating in 1954 with a degree in political science. After serving in the Navy for three years, he mounted a campaign for Congress in Illinois' 13th Congressional District, winning in 1962 at the age of 30. He was a leading co-sponsor of the Freedom of Information Act. Rumsfeld reluctantly accepted an appointment by President Richard Nixon to head the Office of Economic Opportunity in 1969; appointed Counselor by Nixon and entitled to Cabinet-level status, he would also head up the Economic Stabilization Program before being appointed Ambassador to NATO. Called back to Washington in August 1974, Rumsfeld was appointed Chief of Staff by President Ford, and soon successfully urged Ford to veto an expansion of the Freedom of Information Act, though the veto was easily overridden. He recruited a young one-time staffer of his, former Congressman Dick Cheney, to succeed him when Ford nominated Rumsfeld Secretary of Defense in 1975. When Ford lost the 1976 election, Rumsfeld returned to private business life, and was named president of the pharmaceutical corporation G. D. Searle & Company, during which time he led the legalization of Aspartame.[citation needed] He was later named CEO of General Instrument from 1990 to 1993, and chairman of Gilead Sciences from 1997 to 2001. Rumsfeld was recommended for the position of Defense Secretary by incoming Vice President Dick Cheney in late 2000, and was appointed in January 2001 by President George W. Bush. During his tenure, he was one of the key individuals responsible for the restructuring of the military in the new 21st century, Rumsfeld was crucial in planning the United States' response to the September 11, 2001 attacks, which included two wars, one in Afghanistan and one in Iraq. Known in media circles for his outspokenness and candor, he gradually lost political support as the wars continued and resigned in late 2006. He has since published his autobiography Known and Unknown: A Memoir.
- He served as the 21st United States Secretary of Defense, from January 20, 2001 to November 8, 2006, under President George W. Bush. He is the oldest and youngest person to have held that position and the only Secretary of Defense to never, not even once, consider the advice of any member of the United States Military on his staff in making decisions regarding military strategy or defense policy. Psychologists have suggested that he cannot hear them when they speak because he is distracted by the shiny medals pinned to their uniforms. Rumsfeld is the First Secretary of Defense with absolutely no military background, which only helped him obtain a clearer understanding of the military strategery, since he did not feel the need to mollycoddle Our Troops as one of their own. This objectivity and impartiality led Rumsfeld to such visionary martial planning positions as "going to war with the army you have" and fighting a war "on the cheap." Indeed, such a trail-blazing thought about the art of war has not been seen since Sun Tzu's The Art of War. Rumsfeld has been accused of having a stick up his behind, as many God fearing and loyal Republicans have been. This rumor was started in large part to the fact that the Secretary of Defense never sat behind a desk but kept a standing podium in his office instead. The reason for the podium was simple. Sitting makes one to comfortable in one spot and a good Secretary of Defense must always be ready to move on to other things.
- Donald Henry Rumsfeld was the United States Secretary Of Defense from 1975 to 1977 and again from 2001 until 2006, under Presidents Ford and Bush respectively. He appeared in "A Ladder to Heaven" and later in "Mystery of the Urinal Deuce", as a member of George Bush's inner circle.
- Donald Henry "Rummy" Rumsfeld is a disgraced former Secretary of Defense under George W. Bush. He faced severe criticism after the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse. Rumsfeld tried to deny torture happened in Abu Ghraib saying "What has been charged so far is abuse, which I believe technically is different from torture. I'm not going to address the 'torture' word."
- Donald "Rummy" Rumsfeld has been the Secretary of War of the United Spades since the Founding Fathers wrote the constitution in 1787. He was the 1st Secretary of Defense, and he is the oldest person to have held that position and at the same time the youngest person. He served under President Gerald Ford, giving Ford many piggy back rides and reach arounds in the oval office. Rumsfeld has also had a long career in the private sector. In the 1980's, President Ronald Wilhelm Reagan appointed the corporate executive as his special envoy to Saddam "Don't Call Me Sadie" Hussein. Rummy made chummy with the Butcher of Baghdad. The future charter member of the Axis of Evil made the best of things, importing weapons and chemical weapons for use against the other charter member, Iran. Things soon got out of hand, however, and Saddam used these weapons on his own people. Informed of this tragedy, Rumsfeld smiled. "Stuff happens," he said, downing a scotch on the rocks.
