Don't you love it when two former colleagues are no longer obligated to hold back what we already know...she was incompetent (according to Rummy) and he doesn't know what he's talking about...truth is they were both incompetent and neither knew what they were doing.

Condi Rice: "Rumsfeld Is Wrong & Grumpy"

I think it's safe to say that Condi & Rummy ain't friends
From Politico, about the moderate-conservative Republican: "After months of silence, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice finally has her review ready of the charges in former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld’s memoir that she was never critical of George W. Bush’s positions and was ill-equipped for a senior administration role: 'He doesn’t know what he’s talking about.'"

The article continues: "Rice had declined interview requests on Rumsfeld’s book, 'Known and Unknown,' since it hit the bookshelves in February, but in a question-and-answer feature with The New York Times Magazine that will be in Sunday’s issue, Rice said Rumsfeld’s take on her time as secretary of state and, before that, as national security adviser, could only have been invented."

More: "Rumsfeld also suggested that Rice did not have the skills to manage a major government office. 'She’d been an academic. And, you know, a lot of academics like to have meetings,' he said in one interview. 'And they like to bridge differences and get people all to be happy.' But Rice countered that her academic experience as provost of Stanford University was not so modest and 'not so easy.' She added: 'I don’t know what Don was trying to say, and it really doesn’t matter. Don can be a grumpy guy. We all know that.'"
