Rumsfeld reaches out to Democrats
You'd think this meant a little bit of contrition from Rummy, wouldn't you? An attempt at bipartisanship?
Guess again:
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld reached out to Democrats late Friday, opening up the door for them to retract their stinging indictment of him as Pentagon chief.
In a letter to Congress's top Democrats, Rumsfeld said recent remarks he made during a speech in Salt Lake City were misrepresented by the media, including by the Associated Press. Rumsfeld said he was "concerned" by the reaction of Democrats, many of whom called for his resignation and said he was treading on dangerous territory.
"I know you agree that with America under attack and U.S. troops in the field, our national debate on this should be constructive," Rumsfeld wrote Friday.
Well, guess what, Rummy. YOU'RE the one who called everyone who disagrees appeasers. And now you're "reaching out" to give THEM a chance to retract THEIR remarks?
What arrogance.
