Rummy is hated by the left-wing media because he is seen as a real man not a girley-man. So to level the playing field they must destroy him, and hope for a girley-man replacement they can push around. Rember the MSN hate's the military period.
Rummy is the best Sec of Defense we have had since well last time he was Sec of Defense under Ford! But he is not perfect and it is okay to criticize him its just that MSM goes overboard with their witch hunt.
You may be right, but I suspect that what our troops really need is to start killing the enemy, killing anyone that harbors or sympathizes with them, and levelling the buildings that shelter them. That just might make them safer than yet more extra additional armor to hide behind.
