Why do you "despise" him. What has he done to offend you? Don't editorialize, just give us the reasons. P.S. Hip hop bands? Like who? I never saw any mentioned. |

Benetil, I'd like to hear some specifics (re: Rumsfeld). I'm curious, that's all. |

Admiral - with all due respect one does not need a factual reason to "despise" someone else. A simple disagreement in opinion is all that is needed. Since "opinion" is not fact there is nothing to prove. |

Time to put something here

Agreed, I give credit to benetil for this line "I don't know if he is a criminal or not, but I think he's a genuine jerk." I can respect the opinion of some one thinking Rumsfeild is a jerk, I just don’t understand those who want to make him out to be a war criminal or evil or ect with no substituted facts other then the fact one disagrees with the war. |

Min, I guess I am just tired of the usual... "he's a meanie because he's evil" rant I hear so often from some posters. I didn't expect this from Benetil, who although being to the left of most everyone in here, is quite polite and rational about it. |

He's a war criminal to the loony left because he's working for the evil Bush administration, whose strings are pulled by big oil, or is it Bush 41, or maybe Bilderburgers, or the Freemasons, or aliens.

Makes about as much sense as the "Bush Administration can do no wrong.." crap I hear from some people. |

Funny that I don't know anyone here who has said this. So, unless you can find proof, I suggest you are not telling the truth. |

You want proof that there are people on this board who interpret any criticism of Bush as treason? |

Yes - if actually listening to what Blix was saying , and being prepared to let his teams finish the job they were expert at , and being opposed to attacking a sovereign nation who was not attacking any other nation and being extremely skeptical about the claims that were being made by the USA and UK regarding terror links and huge battle ready stocks of sundry types of WMD and nuclear programs based largely on old intelligence, fabricated intelligence (and forged documents) and the say so of a few defectors (who's motives were dubious) , and being very disturbed by the notion of preemptive warfare - in order to avoid war - only Bush and Rumsfeld could dream that idiosy up !) means I had "preconcieved ideas" . Seems I was right - all along. |

Do what I do - read the paper and watch and listen to the news and current affairs shows and you'll find out. Maybe if you tune into BBC world service , or A(ustralian)BC 24 HOUR NEWS service on the radio and thereby listened to news from other nations you might become informed of the views of people in other countries from their perspectives. |

Or maybe the Bush Election Team saw Rumsfeld as a very negative influence and he was told to cool it until after the election. I also noticed that Rumsfeld had a low profile in the last few months of the election. I'll second Benetil's notion that Rumsfeld is a jerk - in fact I would be inclined to use more colourful language to describe my opinion of him as person, a man and of his policies and actions. |
