What about the nerve of Donald Rumsbum, trying to take credit for the Egyptian revolution!! Let me see, how is this similar to the kind of “pro democracy” outings of Donald and Dubya?
Did a hundred thousand people get killed?
Did countless precious ancient artefacts get destroyed?
Did the west start a civil war and then 5 years later work out how to manage the situation?
did Western govts lie to their citizens in order to invvde a sovereign nation, almost bankrupting the world in the process?
This article from the Guardian strongly makes the case that Rumsfold is delusional. Which we knew, but it’s nice to read a well-worded case innit!
