For all of Rumsfeld's faults, he's not an anti-semite. <BR/><BR/>I just thought of a great Secretary of Defense, but he's an Active Duty three-star General, so ineligible :(<BR/><BR/>I do wonder why the last few Secreataries of Defense have been non-veterans or served a minimal time. Methinks its time for a retired Admiral or General to get the spot.Thomas Forsythhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00837156392258098698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22462867.post-1163217502353982892006-11-10T22:58:00.000-05:002006-11-10T22:58:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Thomas Forsythhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00837156392258098698noreply@blogger.com
