  • I sooooooo wish Rumsfeld would do an interview like this.

  • Great film. A smart man, with a moral streak, which took hold too late. We are fortunate that we are left with this film.

  • @Revbone450 I think he did something similar with Aljazeera English.

  • difficult to make black/white judgments about McNamara. On the one hand he lied to Congress about the justification for war. On the other he grew a conscience in the end and realized Vietnam was a terrible idea. That being said he and Rumsfeld are definitely in contention for worst SecDefs of all time. He was not a dumb man. But he made some terribly destructive decisions.

  • @Revbone450 nooooo... rumsfield is actually a terminator, sent back from the future... just to be an asshole in general

  • "genius" and "brilliant" are not words I would use to describe McNamara ... "war criminal" and "slime" are a bit more like it.

    Then again, I'm part of that group of "a lot of people" who think he's a "sonofabitch" (as he puts it himself)...

    Oh, and another fitting word: tragic. He was gifted with great intelligence and ability, but served a corrupt military industrial complex that will likely destroy the world one of these days. "Sad" fits too... and "flawed."

    Maybe "human" = best of all.

  • because people like him USA is sinking FASSSTTT (1~2 trillion wasted dollar iraq+afghan wars)....and today the sink is more faster than EVER...good job..

  • A great man.

  • Oil, veto from China and Russia, Interest and power conflicts between the United States and the African countries. Also, Sudan do have oil as well. Just not as much as the Middle East. China at the moment is heavily involved in Sudan's oil industry.

  • We need more statesman like Mac and Kissinger!!

  • Brilliant Brilliant man
