"The comment that has most angered Rumsfeld's detractors is his statement that you go to war with the Army you have. That may have been too frank in such a forum, but it was true. We went into Iraq with a military not yet fully transformed to adjust to 21st-century reality..." Because the bridge to the 21st century built by the Clinton administration did not include the military.

Bingo. Senators Lott, Hagel and McCain had more to do with the military we went to war with than Rumsfeld did.

The Three Stooges can shove their criticism up their own asses. If there's any room there what with all the space their heads are taking up.

Uh huh. And these Senators - if they felt the military wasn't getting what it should have - all they have to do is appropriate funds so the military can be properly equipped. Its the lowest form of political grandstanding for them to suggest Rummy is not doing his job when the truth is they haven't done theirs and they damn well know it.

I fired off my email to McCain......as if it will do any good.

I'm sick of this guy riding the fence. Beginning to think he's nothing more than John Kerry type on a slower boat. I mean, as far as his political agenda. Makes me wonder if he's gonna make another run......

the comparison to Kerry/McCain was not meant to say McCain wasn't a true war hero and patriot. Just that his political agenda may be following along the lines of Kerry. ??
