Don’t laugh, it’s a headline in today’s Washington Post:
PRESENT AT THE CREATION
The Smart Way to Beat Tyrants Like Chávez
By Donald Rumsfeld
Sunday, December 2, 2007; Page B03
Notice the header…it’s a reference to Dean Acheson’s 1987 book, Present at the Creation: My Years in the State Department. Acheson helped draft the 1947 National Security Act that created the CIA and other Cold War infrastructure. Rummy’s essay is disjointed and incoherent…like snowflakes in a vortex.
His solution to dealing with a ‘tyrant’ like Hugo Chavez? A free trade agreement with Colombia.
