Former Defense Secretary Robert McNamara Dies
« on: July 06, 2009, 08:20:12 AM »



Former Defense Secretary Robert McNamara has died.

McNamara, 93, died at home in his sleep Monday morning, his wife Diana told The Associated Press. She said he had been in failing health for some time.

Known as a policymaker with a fixation for statistical analysis, McNamara was president of the Ford Motor Co. when President John F. Kennedy asked him to head the Pentagon in 1961.

McNamara worked for seven years as the defense secretary in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, longer than any other person in that post. He headed the war department during the build-up of forces in Vietnam.

He is considered the architect of the concept of "mutual assured destruction," a key feature of the nuclear arms race during the Cold War.

His enduring legacy will be to demonstrate what happens when civilians think they know more about military affairs than the military does.

Adios, cucaracha.

Though in a way he has the last laugh, going out while an even bigger amateur from his party has even more of a grip on the Nation.

At least he gave us the 1960 Ford Falcon and the 1961 Lincoln Continental.

He should have stayed at Ford.

Don't let the door to hell hit you in the ass on the way in, bastard. :bigbird: :cheers1: :clap: :loser2:

So, where does the line form for pissing on the bastard's grave?  And, more importantly, have they considered the hygene of the area and installed a granite urinal for a headstone?
