How can Rumsfeld be so Stupid?

Yesterday we were wondering what could Ahmadinejad be thinking? Today we have to wonder just how could Rummy be so stupid? It makes sense I guess that he would take exception to Iran's rhetoric against Israel, and much of their incessant nonsensical diatribe. However, to suggest that the U.S. military has the resources to do something about Iran if it becomes necessary? Is this guy brain dead? He compared ignoring Ahmadinejad to ignoring the threats of Lenin and Hitler. Okay, he might have a point there. However doesn't he understand what he and Bush has done to America and our future military ability in responding to anything at all let alone deal with the results of attacking Iran? We could expect less help than we got in Iraq and he should at least think about that. The question was asked , while we are fighting a war in Iraq and Afghanistan could we handle a war in Iran if it came to that? He replied Yes we could.
He is known for his incessant speech but what the hell is a force sizing construct that we feel good about? Does he forget too that we are still in the Balkans, the Phillipines, and God knows where else? doesn't he remember that it was the military that pulled out Bush's chestnuts after Katrina, Rita, and probably dozens of other natural disasters this last year alone? Does he forget that besides Bush's ineptitude troops that could have responded instantly were in Iraq and Afghanistan? He was asked whether the world could afford to let Iran have a nuclear bomb? His asanine answer, time will tell. Time will tell, first I thought the question was overstepping the issue. I know we don't trust their real nuclear ampitions but I though we wanted to keep nuclear capabilities out of their hands at all. Also isn't trusting Iran with a nuclear bomb a bit like trusting Jack the Ripper with a knife? Time will tell what is that?
Many of us have known from the beginning of the Bush escapades, the spending of his nonexistant Political capital, and his outsourcing of his political divisivness and Christian fundamentalism around the world, that their would be a definite return of the draft if he continued with his ineptitude. Bush, Rummy, and the likes, are still insisting this will not be necessary. Just where do they think the necessary troops and hardware are going to come from? Can someone, anyone tell me? Short of dropping a nuclear bomb on Iran and starting if it isn't already WW3, which should be out of the question, how can Rummy be so stupid?
