I take it this was on FOX. No one else would even consider it important. FOX are propagandists. Anyone want to guess who colluded the most with the Rumsfeld Cabal? Go ahead, make a guess. I bet you'll be right.

Every now and then, (click here) one sees something happen right before one’s eyes that defies the laws of time, space, reality and reason. Such a moment occurred yesterday during a truly remarkable appearance by former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld on Neil Cavuto’s Fox Business News program.
During the interview, Rumsfeld appeared to criticize the Obama Administration for failing to present a supportable argument as to why an attack on Syria is in our nation’s best interest.
“There really hasn’t been any indication from the administration as to what our national interest is with respect to this particular situation,” said Rumsfeld....
