Here are some background points (correction: Rumsfeld is a board member of the Jamestown Foundation): 1) Rumsfeld is known to friends for always being politically "safe". When asked policy questions, he always equivocates and never gives a policy answer. Some question whether or not he actually has any opinions. Despite that, he has a history of membership in war-mongering organizations, and is tied to several major nefarious corporations. 2) Rumsfeld is known to friends as "Rummy". 3) Rumsfeld is closely tied to Monsanto, and has been an outspoken advocate of genetically modified food. 4) Rumsfeld publicly criticized the Democrats in 1995 for inviting Jewish- Russia mafia boss Grigory Loutchansky to a fundraiser. 5) Rumsfeld is a board member of an anti-Soviet group known as the Jamestown Foundation, which assisted Russian dissidents in coming to America in the 1980s, and is now working on assisting "Russia's transition to a free-market economy." 6) Rumsfeld sits on the board of the Balkan Action Committee. Fellow board members include Elie Wiesel, Paul Wolfowitz, and Richard Perle. The board recommended a US ground invasion of Serbia during the Kosovo bombardment. All of the board members, except Geraldine Ferraro, were involved in the Committee on the Present Danger, chaired by Jeane Kirkpatrick, which promoted US "interventions" in Central America, Afghanistan, and Angola. For those interested in such things, at least ten of the twenty five board members are Jewish. The remainder are white. Further research: Other "Steering Committee" members include: Walter Cronkite, Bianca Jagger, Norman Podhoretz and George McGovern (wasn't he a pacifist?). Of the 56 "Steering Committee" members, at least 28 are Jewish, 28 are white. 7) Rumsfeld headed a Congressional Committee that investigated the Bay of Pigs Invasion and found no CIA wrongdoing, and is seen by some as a major advocate in Congress for expanded CIA powers during the 1960s. 8) Rumsfeld has spoken at "Solidarity with Israel" dinners hosted by the "International Fellowship of Christians and Jews". Other speakers have included Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson. >From their website: "'For Zion's sake I will not keep silent; and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest.' (Isaiah 62:7) The Fellowship has, over the years, organized a variety of leadership programs fostering Christian and Jewish support for the State of Israel. These have included tours to Israel with celebrities like Pat Boone and with groups like Pat Robertson's CBN, the National Religious Broadcasters, and a special trip for Christian media leaders in the immediate aftermath of the Gulf War. " 9) Rumsfeld is a strong advocate of Missile Defense and has written papers on the "threats" that China, North Korea, Syria, Iraq and Iran pose to the United States and/or Israel through their missile programs. 10) Rumsfeld, as a member of the "Committee for Peace and Security in the Gulf" has urged US support, funds, arms and intervention on behalf of the anti-Hussein opposition in Iraq. other members of the Committee include Richard Perle, Bill Kristol, Martin Peretz (publisher of the New Republic), Casper Weinberger and Paul Wolfowitz.
