....as 9/11-era defense secretary says Hillary Clinton 'would probably be indicted' over emails if she were a soldier or sailor
He will vote for the Republicans' presumptive nominee because he's a 'known unknown' and Hillary Clinton is a 'known known'
He says Hillary Clinton isn't qualified to sit in the Oval Office, and 'would probably be indicted' over her emails if she were a junior military grunt.

He is cerainly right that Clinton is less an unknown than a known incompetent, while Trump is a bet on God knows what.
Given Rummy's dismal record as DoD chief, his dismal failure to predict and counter the chaos after the fall of Saddam- his quote on the decent into chaos as -"democracy is messy" I'm amazed anyone would give a tinker's damn about his opinion on anything. About the only thing I'd give him a little bit of props for is, unlike Cheney, he kept his mouth shut- and now he blows that! :doh
Fact is we know enough about Trump to know we don't want him near the Oval Office unless he is part of a tour group...eace
WHAT? He has WHAT? 45 years in DC, a lot of them as inside as inside gets. Tune him out at your own expense. Seriously.
Seriously- given some claim Trump's popularity is due to fighting guys with decades of 'experience' inside the Beltway why would any Trumper hail Rummy's support???? :doh
Seriously- he was key to the EPIC fail in Iraq, a neocon who truly believed America could plant democracy in a desert...
Seriously- he ignored the advice of his Generals on how many troops would be needed to restore order once Saddam fell.
Seriously- he totally failed to plan for governance once Saddam fell.
Seriously- he thought Iraqis would be beholden to us and eager to do our bidding.
Seriously- he didn't understand or care about the social and religious divisions in Iraq...
I'll tune him out and can handle the 'expense' (I'll just forgo a second cup of coffee today)eace
BIG difference between 45ish years of SERVICE and his tenor at DOD running a war ordered by the boss, and sold to the people by way fraud under orders from his boss, run with incompetence under.....you got it......his boss.
Just though I'd point that out.

And Hillary did SOOO much better with Syria, Libya, Arab Spring, and Russia's Reset huh?
So BushII and the Neocons open Pandora's box but you want to blame SoS Clinton for the fallout??? So please tell us just what should the SoS done to 'halt' the hot mess BushII unleashed across the Arab/Muslim world???
Russia's 'reset' was going on when BushII was in office or do you forget Ossettia and BushII standing 'firm' by our dear friends and allies in the former SSR Georgia? How about him saying he could see into Putin's heart and Putin was a good man??? Agree or not there is little we can do about Russia reestablishing it's buffer zone- just as Reagan and BushI invaded Central American states to 'protect' our national interests and 'democracy'...
The biggest difference is Rummy was on the team that CHOSE to go to war, kick over the ant hill and add thousands of young American names to plaques and walls on courthouse lawns across the Republic.
Clinton was on the team that got stuck cleaning up that mess, and while at it, the YUUUUGE financial mess BushII left for the nation...
Comparing DoD Rummy to SOS Clinton... Clinton by a mile...eace

Where would you put most on Rumsfeld's classic, "There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know." as regards over-the-Hillary?He said "Incompetent"? I did not notice that but I have been saying the same for years, very few people have agreed with me.
:congrats:
+1 Rummy!

Rumsfeld suggesting someone else be indicted. That's rich with irony.
