What did Rumsfeld do in 41st President's term?

Answer 1

I do not believe he served at all in George HW Bush's administration. He was Gerald Ford's Secretary of Defense back in 70's.

Answer 2

The most noteworthy thing he did was take the Fall (blame) for GWB's failed policies that are all based on his 'top secret' LIES to the American people.

If this was a normal administration in office, this should have happened a LONG TIME AGO!! But since this is _By Far_ the most secretive, egotistical & arrogant president in history, he continues to make other people he hired take the blame for his approval numbers being as low as HE caused them to be.

Who will take the fall for him next? Condie, the dangerous hunter or that "longtime friend" he just hired to replace Rummy? I say impeachment of GWB is long overdue!!

Why continue to kill our soldiers over a personal revenge issue with the Iraqi people?? I say kick his *ss out of office, and if he still wants revenge for their attempts at killing his father, let him go do his own fighting _HIMSELF_!! This entire Iraq War is nothing more than REVENGE by GWB with the news media helping him brainwash us into thinking this was a WMD & Terrorism issue. ==Facts are FACTS== ~no matter what the media tells you~!!

Answer 3

Rumsfeld became Secretary of Defense under George W. Bush in January of 2001, and after the attacks of 11 September 2001 he became a familiar face on television as a spokesman for U.S. military forces. Rumsfeld was already something of a Washington insider; a Republican, his connections in the White House and Department of Defense extended back to the early 1958, when he became an assistant to Congressman Dave Dennison of Ohio. He served as a congressman from Illinois (1962-69) before going to work as an economic adviser for President Richard Nixon (1969-73). He then worked in the Gerald Ford administration as White House Chief of Staff (1974-74) and as the youngest-ever Secretary of Defense (1975-77). During the 1980s Rumsfeld served in various capacities as an advisor to the Ronald Reagan administration, but spent most of his time in private industry. He served on several corporate boards in such industries as pharmaceuticals, banking and communications, including 8 years as the CEO of pharmaceutical giant G. D. Searle & Co. In 2001 he returned to the Pentagon, becoming the 21st Secretary of Defense. After the attacks on the U.S. in 2001, Rumsfeld directed forces in an attack on Afghanistan, followed by an invasion of Iraq to topple Saddam Hussein (2003). When success in Iraq was slow in coming, critics -- both civilian and military -- piled on Rumsfeld, but President Bush continued to support him. After congressional elections in 2006 gave Democrats control of the House of Representatives, Bush announced Rumsfeld's resignation, an apparent response to the increasing unpopularity of the war in Iraq.
