On 9-12, President Bush could have done or asked for anything and got it. He chose not much, the partial mobilization orders for the Guard and Reserves expire next year, what's your plan hero? Mobilize the guard for another 5 years and hope for the best? Pray that our 20 year old equipment holds up? Pray to Mecca?
I guess you give Rumsfeld a pass on letting the navy give away secrets?
You cannot approach my service.
I somehow doubt that ....
A CPA is fine with me...
Civilian Provisional Authority that reported directly to Rumsfeld ...another concept error
Manpower is not the silver bullet, get over it.
You sure are generous with other people's lives.
I did not know we had achieved that level. Regardless, soldiers die. It is their burden. You wont find me doing alot of handwringing over it....even if it were 5,000 a month. That's war bro.
Learn to read. 10,000+ you do the math .... I hope you don't lead any American soldiers .... I'd relieve you in a second.
There was absolutely no way [and still is] that an Army officer will take that post under GW. Do you honestly think the appointment is the SecDefs call? Brother wake up. Get this through your head, the Army is in the dog house....period. Not because the SecDef says so... but because the President of the United States saw what they did under Clinton.
Boy you really are clueless.
I'd prolly need an example of his micromanagement.
We can start with his refusal to sign deployment orders to Operation Iraqi Freedom without reading them all ....
Nah, I like our manpower as it sits right now...
Rumsfeld only missed the mark by a factor of 4 which is better then you.
Yeah! He could have invaded every square inch of the middle east with magic soldiers baring bibles and all would have been right with the World.
"The partial mobilization orders for the Guard and Reserves expire next year"
Uhh yeah. I'm sure that has the President boxed in.
"Pray that our 20 year old equipment holds up?"
The Sky is falling. /smirk
"I guess you give Rumsfeld a pass on letting the navy give away secrets?"
Yeah, I approved of his secret plan to export nuclear and missile technology to Chin...err...wait a minute, that happened under the previous SecDef. My bad.
"Civilian Provisional Authority that reported directly to Rumsfeld ...another concept error"
Forgive me for not following your meandering negascreed.
"You sure are generous with other people's lives."
It is what it is. Reality sucks when your perspective does not line up with it.
"Learn to read. 10,000+ you do the math .... I hope you don't lead any American soldiers .... I'd relieve you in a second."
I'll keep that in mind.
"We can start with his refusal to sign deployment orders to Operation Iraqi Freedom without reading them all."
God forbid! The Man did his job. Well, that just aint gonna work. :o)
"Rumsfeld only missed the mark by a factor of 4 which is better then you."
Cool.
