Rumsfeld: The War On Terror Has Accomplished Absolutely Nothing Good — So it’s Imperative that We Maintain It
“So you see,” Rumsfeld explained, “we must continue to worsen our national security — for national security reasons.”
Rumsfeld’s statement comes after nearly three years of U.S. invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, causing tens of thousands of civilian deaths, and costing U.S. taxpayers over $230 billion.2
“With a loss of civil liberties and social programs, a ballooning deficit, and a decrease in national security, it’s painfully obvious that the War on Terror has been a nightmare for American civilians,” Rumsfeld stated. “And trust me, it’s been much, much worse for the Iraqis.
“With that in mind, it is of paramount importance that we continue waging the War On Terror without altering our approach whatsoever.”
But Democratic Senators issued a stern rebuttal to Rumsfeld’s remarks: “The War On Terror is a Glorious War, but we’re waging it somewhat incorrectly. We need a slightly better plan. And we should bring the troops home at some point, too.”
