With unusual puppy dog eyes, Bill O'Reilly had a sit down with the Donald(not Trump) Thursday night. Missing was the scowl that O'Reilly uses to browbeat his opponents and make no mistake, O'Reilly has criticized Rumsfeld throughout the year about the mishandling of the Iraq war. With a chance to "dress him down," O'Reilly asked the questions he was expected to ask, but never once really challenged him on any of his dubious responses. There are too many to pick apart, suffice to say that Rumsfeld didn't want to talk about Colin Powell or admit that we didn't have enough troops on the ground. He did admit that he underestimated the insurgency. Now that's news!
