Mistake is code word for bullshit

I know, it's pretty bad to expect a cabinet secretary to keep track or look into issues before speaking about them.

Seriously, you're in the army. This guy is your boss. You think e's doing a good job? You know who he is, right? Donald Rumsfeld? You're not just making some sort of asinine knee jerk response?

You know the issue in question here is one that's proved a real embarassment to the administration, not as big say as torture, but big enough. The sort of thing the secretary might want to know if he'd discontinued or not, since it's his call. As secretary of defense. That's who Rumsfled is, by the way, the secretary of Defense. The kind of job where a lot ought to be expected of you, and if you're not up to the task you might want to step aside on account of how important the job is.

But sure, give the guy a break, he's human, he makes mistakes. He also lies a lot, though. And he's abrassive and contemptous and a lot of career military think he doesn't know shit from Shinola. But I'm not in the service and you are. Is there a lot of grass roots support amongst the grunt for Donald Rumsfeld?

You really, seriously know who he is?
