I am sorry, but if you ask Don Rumsfield what he thinks are the critical military considerations in a situation, you can bet he does not have to check with his advisors.

We need a Secretary of State that runs the State Department, not one that is run by the State Department.

Condi should not have needed one single advisor to see, and know, for herself just how strong Hamas was. She has allowed the State Department process and its bureaucrats and divas to filter and "explain" too much for her.

Do you honestly believe that Don Rumsfield is so omnipotent that he doesn't check with his advisers on everything?

Don't answer that, I am merely pointing out your willingness to ignore the obvious to suit your agenda.

Like the President, and Donald Rumsfield, Condi has advisers that report to her everything she needs to know to do her job, her asking why she didn't receive better information from them is an ass chewing by her of them.

That concept eludes you.
