In remarks to several thousand veterans at the American Legion’s national convention, Rumsfeld recited what he called the lessons of history, including the failed efforts to appease the Adolf Hitler regime in the 1930s.Wow...very brave of him to stand up to the Bush Administration like that...and at the American Legion conference, no less.
“I recount this history because once again we face similar challenges in efforts to confront the rising threat of a new type of fascism,” he said.
...
“Can we truly afford to believe somehow, some way, vicious extremists can be appeased?” he asked.
“Those who know the truth need to speak out against these kinds of myths and lies and distortions being told about our troops and about our country,” he added.
What was that? He was defending the Bush Administration? Oh, so he was being ironic, I see.
What was that? No irony? Huh.
