This was your post:
Apples to Oranges. Clinton made a bad foriegn policy move when he attempted to appease a dictator. Rumsfeld was a private citizen whose company made a smart financial decision. I dont even know that Rumsfeld had anything to do with it.

You stated that Rums probably wasn't involved. This was clearly not true. Just admit that Clinton sometimes sucked and so did Rums (moreso IMO).

My main point is that even he was increasing business, he did this out of the sheer irony that he doesn't want N Korea to have WMD, yet he supported that contract to give it to them via ABB.
