The usual ddong that you'd expect to fly out of his rotten head.
More Americans should vote, I like most American people I meet and they certainly don't deserve the current administration-regime. |

Tough questions! 
-Why is the media so hard on us?
-Why don't we increase troops when somebody is captured to show them that we never capitulate?
-What do you think about increasing the retirement age for soldiers that otherwise would retire? (answe:people shouldn't retire young. Look at me.)
-What are your suggestions for combating the idea that blowing oneself up leads to martyrdom and heaven?
-What's your opinion about budget difficulties, not being able to get all the new tech we need?
-I'm going to graduate from university; what can I do to support the war on terrorism?
-How's Iraq going politically?
-In the 30s Europe was paralzyed by self-doubt, which let the Nazis do what they did. What do you recommend for us to not succumb to that?
-What do you think about the military using contractors?
-Good question! Regarding paying out to ex-spouses after divorce.
-I'm a recruiter. What's your advice for me? |

The first question was the worst. Not only was it about the media being so hard on them, but the questioner was also incredulous that the media was beginning to include Iraqi casualties in their counts as well. 
Rumsfeld was smart to play that down, and talked a lot about the sacrifices Iraqis were making. What a dumbass question that was. |

With questions like that, could the media have been any less hard on him?
Maybe if they just listened and took notes while he spoke about whatever he wanted that would be considered unbiased. Well, it is AFN after all... |

I think he mentioned that Iraqi casualties were included in the American casualty list as though they were American, which clearly they are not. |
