I figured you'd make an appearance on this thread :-D Rummy is an anomaly in gov't in that he views competence as his highest goal, and when fighting a war, well, that's a good thing to aspire.So, you don't hear the prevarication or the hand wringing when he speaks;he just gets down to doing the job, and the media all thought this was going to be his undoing PRIOR to 9/11 when the stories of his unpopularity abounded.Tells you what the Washington press corp think of able,results oriented managers.Rummy believes in accountabilty, while his detractors don't, but, I'd say that is a hallmark of all natural leaders and good CEO's.

Hey, he was my favorite Cabinet member well before 9/11.

I'm usually ahead of the curve on these things. Like back in early 2000 when I nudged my father into voting for Bush in the primaries. He was a little hesitant then, but now thanks me for that. :-D
