Man, of all the members of the Bush administration, Rumsfeld seems to be without a doubt the absolute worst at saying something that says nothing at all. Or maybe the best. I am not sure.

Here’s Rumsfeld, speaking eloquently on our resolute, decisive course of action on the recent crisis in Haiti:

Needless to say, everyone is hopeful that the situation, which tends to ebb and flow down there, will stay below a certain threshold, and that there’s – we have no plans to do anything. By that, I don’t mean we have no plans. Obviously, we have plans to do everything in the world that we can think of. But we – there’s no intention at the present time, or no reason to believe, that any of the thinking that goes into these things year in and year out would have to be utilized.

Did you get that? No?

Translation: “Haiti? Where the fuck is Haiti?”
