    I worked with Donald Rumsfeld as Poland's minister of defence during the Iraq war 2005-2007 and I agree with this assessment.

Bush 43 had a chip on his shoulder after losing the popular vote in year 2000. Thus he was cocky the day after Nov 2004 where he hadhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_capital …
