Does Don Rumsfeld suffer from advanced Alzheimer's Disease?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

Ron Dumsfeld before the US Senate, August 3, 2006:

Senator, I don’t think that’s true. I have never painted a rosy picture. I have been very measured in my words, and you’d have a dickens of a time trying to find instances where I have been excessively optimistic. I understand this is tough stuff.

Six days, six weeks, he never thought six months, and that was 4 yrs ago.
He also claimed that US forced eradicated the Taliban.

1. No, its assheimer's disease with him

[swimboy]

2. You have forgotten that they work within their own reality.

Whatever they say is true when they say it. They said so themselves.

[The Deacon]

3. Nope

He just thinks we are all too stupid to remember what he said other places, other times.

4. Oh heavens to Betsy, I don't think so...

Is he an idiot? Yes
Should he be secretry of defense? No
Does he lie to everybody? absolutely
Should he submit his resignation? Yes
Will he? No
Will the president accept it if it is submitted? No
Will it matter that Hilary and Lieberman are calling for his resignation? I don't think so

Am I being sarcastic because Rummy asks and answers his own questions? Hell yes

[Swamp Rat]

5. No. He is banal evil incarnate.

[Disturbed]

8. Is Rumsfailed a Sociopathetic Liar?

Uh....did I need to ask?

[Swamp Rat]

9. Yes, and more...

[TransitJohn]

6. He suffers from

advanced pants-on-fire syndrome.

[calico1]

7. Don't give him the excuse of Alzheimer's which

by the way has affected many good, decent people including my aunt and my uncle. Rumsfield is just an evil, lying bastard.

[indepat]

10. Far-right-itis or chronic liars' syndrome because their every agenda is

based on/fraught with lies, nothing but lies.

[Jacobin]

11. He's a practiced corporate liar, having come up through

Alcoa Aluminum and various appointed RW posts.

He is a liar through and through

[catmandu57]

12. I believe he's setting up a dementia defense

He knows shit is falling apart. The wind is shifting and he knows it,
right now it's just mussing his hair, but he knows you betcha he knows what could happen.

[napi21]

13. NO, he just lies and is apparently surprised that anyone would question

his statements of actions!

[indie_voter]

14. Can't wait to see what Jon Stewart and Colbert do with this. n/t

[Judi Lynn]

Sorry, post dupe. n/t

[Judi Lynn]

15. It's just wrong not to be reverential toward that fine Mr. Rumsfeld.

He works so hard that we might be free!
