re: But the scandal never tarnished Rumsfeld, and in the previously undisclosed interview, conducted with principal Deputy General Counsel Daniel J. Dell'Orto at his side, the defense secretary makes clear that he does wars, not defense procurement. As a result, he could not recollect details of what subordinates told him about the tanker lease or what he said to them. Worked for Key Lay, why not Rumsfeld? Oh wait, I got something wrong there...

It was a bumpy start to an odd interview, as Rumsfeld cited poor memory, loose office procedures, and a general distraction with "the wars" in Iraq and Afghanistan to explain why he was unsure how his department came to nearly squander $30 billion leasing several hundred new tanker aircraft that its own experts had decided were not needed He is the ultimate incompetent. For a long time, I wondered why he was so abrasive. Now I know.......its to keep people from getting to close and finding out how stupid he really is. Clever guy, that Rove!
