Rummy Is Back

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. An “elder statesman” is usually someone who once held power and hopes to continue to exercise influence – even though they lack the judgment and common sense that would warrant them doing so. Five former Secretaries of State epitomized this phenomenon when they jointly endorsed the fatally flawed Law of the Sea Treaty.  Fortunately, they were promptly rebutted by an authentic statesman – former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld – who actually knows what is wrong with this treaty and urges its rejection. “Rummy” rendered a further public service by warning last week against the American weakness being promoted by Team Obama’s budget cuts, serial foreign policy disasters and failure to adapt institutionally and otherwise to an increasingly dangerous world.  Here’s hoping we’ll hear a lot more in the months ahead from this steadfast statesman.
