"Stuff Happens" Rumsfeld is the Reason We Lost in Iraq

Here is the exchange between General Pace and Rumsfeld, you can see why we are losing in Iraq. Rumsfeld has been spouting stupity since day one.

Here is what Rumsfeld thinks about stopping Torture:

Q: And General Pace, what guidance do you have for your military commanders over there as to what to do if -- like when General Horst found this Interior Ministry jail?

GEN. PACE: It is absolutely the responsibility of every U.S. service member, if they see inhumane treatment being conducted, to intervene to stop it. As an example of how to do it if you don't see it happening but you're told about it is exactly what happened a couple weeks ago. There's a report from an Iraqi to a U.S. commander that there was possibility of inhumane treatment in a particular facility. That U.S. commander got together with his Iraqi counterparts. They went together to the facility, found what they found, reported it to the Iraqi government, and the Iraqi government has taken ownership of that problem and is investigating it. So they did exactly what they should have done.

SEC. RUMSFELD: But I don't think you mean they have an obligation to physically stop it; it's to report it.

GEN. PACE: If they are physically present when inhumane treatment is taking place, sir, they have an obligation to try to stop it.


*******

SEC. RUMSFELD: But I don't think you mean they have an obligation to physically stop it; it's to report it.

He's saying if a Soldier can stop an act of Torture, don't bother, just fill out a report and move on.

That's like saying to the Police if you see a crime in progress take a break and fill out the crime report. Rumsfeld should have been thrown out of the Pentagon the day he spouted his stupid "Stuff Happens" about the looting in Baghdad.
