Rummy v Marshall

Let's look at quotes..It's fun.

"If man does find the solution for world peace it will be the most revolutionary reversal of his record we have ever known." - George C. Marshall

This is real. You can fact check me....Please do.

"Be able to resign. It will improve your value to the President and do wonders for your performance." - Donald Rumsfeld

This next one is more fun, and much better known.

"Reports that say that something hasn't 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 also unknown unknowns - the ones we don't know we don't know." - Donald 'pretzel logic' Rumsfeld.

The BBC has Donald "Strangelove" Rumsfeld on audio.

Oh, I almost forgot. My favorite quote by another person about Rummmy is this:

"He's the most ruthless man I ever met. And I mean that as a compliment." - Henry Kissinger

One more. Rummy on Rummy.

"If in doubt, don't. If still in doubt, do what's right." - Donald Rumsfeld

Can Rummy possibly believe what he said? I suppose it depends on what definition of 'right' one uses.
