It's now 2008. All of the old false canards in that video were proven wrong in 2003. It might help to make your delusional case if you had something other than lies and fabrications by the idiots in the video that have been thoroughly proven false several years ago.

Its funny how fanatical your hatred is for Rumsfeld!
You wont even acknowledge him for helping victims at the Pentagon?
I can see having political differences but you piss on him for helping people who are injured?
Giambastiani and Rumsfeld both went back to their offices to work, keeping their eyes on television sets that showed the World Trade Center in flames.
Undersecretary of Defense Steve Cambone, who was a special assistant to Rumsfeld at the time, came to Giambastiani’s office to discuss the Pentagon as a potential target and their course of action if it was attacked.
Minutes later, at 9:39 a.m., that attack came. Giambastiani heard the explosion in his office, on the far side of the massive Pentagon building, and felt the ground shake. He walked through his doorway toward the secretary’s office, and his eyes met Rumsfeld’s.
As Rumsfeld proceeded directly to the crash site, where he helped first responders triage those injured in the attack, Giambastiani went to the National Military Command Center to prepare it to become the Pentagon’s command post for dealing with the crisis.

You still didn't answer my question.
TheBobert's question
So SPreston do you even know whey Rumsfeld was there at the Pentagon that day and the chain of events that led him to help the victims that day?
According to Officer Aubrey Davis, who is currently accompanying Rumsfeld as his bodyguard, when they reach the site, “There were the flames, and bits of metal all around. The secretary picked up one of the pieces of metal. I was telling him he shouldn’t be interfering with a crime scene when he looked at some inscription on it and said, ‘American Airlines.’” According to Rumsfeld, a person who’d seen the attack on the Pentagon informs him a plane had flown into it. Rumsfeld later recalls, “I saw people on the grass, and we just, we tried to put them in stretchers and then move them out across the grass towards the road and lifted them over a jersey wall so the people on that side could stick them into the ambulances. I was out there for a while, and then people started gathering, and we were able to get other people to do that, to hold IVs for people. There were people lying on the grass with clothes blown off and burns all over them.” Video footage confirms that Rumsfeld helps carry a stretcher at the crash scene.
One report even has him pulling budget analyst Paul Gonzalez to safety from the burning wreckage. However, Gonzalez later offers his own detailed recollections of pulling other people to safety, which fail to involve Rumsfeld in any way.
