Rumsfeld's Latest

"[Rumsfeld] called on generals and admirals and high civilian officials to think "less like bureaucrats and more like venture capitalists.""

This, along with his response to the international outcry to Camp X-Ray (during which he called the anger an "example of over-zealous armchair hyperbole") leads me to suspect that the guy doesn't actually have a clue what he's on about.

That's an example of the sort of rhetoric that is so broad, it is utterly meaningless. More like venture capitalists how, exactly? Foolishly engaging on expeditions for no better reason than it's the fashion of the time?

I don't know if he knows what he's talking about, but what he's saying makes no sense.

To Rumsfled, Venture Capitalists are Heroes of the highest order because they contribute money to his campaign. He is paying the military people a compliment in his eyes and the eyes of the people who watch FOX news.

We have to remember that the media is now built and owned by these sort of people, so no one will challenge assertions like this, so WE have to.
