"But Rumsfeld, Cheney, Wolfowitz, and others of that crew continue to roam free, doing book tours, pulling in the bucks from speaking engagements, working their sinecures at rightist think tanks, and offering their bloodstained advice about how American foreign policy should be conducted. Anything they have to say ought to be coming from their prison cells."

PERRspectives: Chickenhawks and Cheapskates
"To be sure, the Chickenhawks and Deficit Hawks who routinely boast they most "support the troops" have an appalling way of showing it. By 2020, the twin wars and twin Bush tax cuts they so ardently advocated will have drained roughly $10 trillion from the United States Treasury."

Donald Rumsfeld Caught In Lie About Osama, Saddam And 9/11
Donald Rumsfeld Caught In Lie About Osama, Saddam And 9/11
"In a new documentary, former Defense Secretary says he doesn’t know of anyone in the Bush administration who tried to conflate Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden. The fact that we invaded Iraq in the first place was, of course, because Americans were scared, and BushCo played on those fears to start a war that had nothing to do with 9/11."

"The logical answer would seem to be: prosecute Bush and his cronies (or turn them over to an international tribunal if the U.S. legal system can’t do the job)."

10 Best Replies to Rumsfeld's Disgusting Tweet About "Liberating Iraqis" | Alternet
"On Tuesday, ten years after the United States invaded Iraq, George W. Bush's Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld created a firestorm on Twitter after he said in a Tweet that our country has been working this past decade "liberating 25 mil Iraqis." It is quite terrifying that Rumsfeld believes the war brought freedom to a Iraq — a country that has been torn apart by our occupation."

"On the ten year anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, there has been an awful lot of naval gazing by our media, sadly with most of it being revisionist history on what happened during the run up to that invasion and occupation, with a lot of glossing over just how complicit the media was in helping the neocons beat the war drums."

PERRspectives: Nothing Succeeds Like Failure for Iraq War Architects
"Ten years later, there is little question that the Iraq war was a disaster for the United States and its people. Over 4,400 Americans died and another 30,000 were wounded in the conflict. While U.S. forces were left to "muddle through" in Afghanistan, America's Mesopotamia misadventure significantly strengthened Iran's influence in the region. All told, the greatest foreign policy fiasco in modern American history mayultimately cost taxpayers $4 trillion."
