The wolves are really out after Rumsfeld. He is the only one of Bush's cabinet appointees to actually take on the entrenched Washington bureaucracy in his department. Bush recognizes this. Unfortunately, some of the other people on our side don't.
I hear that Lott is now saying Rumsfeld should resign. is that right?
Hack is a hack. That has to be the most disgusting man on the planet. He has tried to have his 15 minutes of fame on the backs of our men and women in uniform and they figured him out a lot faster then most of us did.
Couldn`t agree more,this whole thing is very unfortunate.I certainly understand but do not know how a family who has lost a son/husband will be angry if they feel their beloved was not properly protected.
Sadly the truth is that very few things go "according to plan"in our ordinary day to day lives,imagine the landscape of the war on terror.Friendly fire and now, vehicles that are in a place of danger that was never intended for their service are a fact of war.
How many today are perplexed beyond measure trying to plan for Christmas.This may be a poor analogy but think about the complexities of a military operation and trying to react to the changing battlefield.Always trying to not accidentally kill innocent civilians.We are about the only country that goes to battle trying to kill as few as possible.Look at France and the Ivory Coast.
I don`t understand why so many Republicans are quick to attack their own.Sec. Rumsfeld does not deserve this.It seems to be more of a self serving measure by some politicians who are more interested in TV time or trying to cultivate favorable feelings from a press corp that will destroy them at a moments notice.Sen Lott should know this better than any one of the group.
