The fact that he hasn't gone out of his way to order a full cooperation with congressional oversight and Congressman Weldon...a true patriot. The fix is in.
I don't see any evidence to support that conclusion. After all .. it was Rumsfeld who rescued Lt. Shaffer and kept him from being railroaded.
Too little, too late.
Rumsfeld should have become proactive, had a press conference praising the Able Danger findings, and condemning the unnamed obstructionists who violated their oathes to protect national security...and for the benefit of the public inquiry, ordered a complete restoration of the lost work product that the Xlinton's ordered destroyed. This is doable, and for relatively cheap, since we already know the links which popped up...and still have the people who did the work before...and the open sources are still, well, open.
I don't think for a second that Rumsfeld would be dragging his feet of his own inclination...quite the opposite.
I think he is under orders.
Something similar happened when GWB ordered the wholesale unilateral dismantlement of our land-based counterforce capability...our newest and best missiles, the MX missile force. Rumsfeld stalled, and stalled, and finally was called on the carpet by the President. It is costing approximately $4.3 billion a year to do these dismantlements...over and above what it would take just to keep them operational. A complete SQUANDRY of severely over-stretched defense dollars...and strategically very questionable considering that this unilateral "gesture" is totally unreciprocated by the Russians... They are keeping their SS-18s fully functional, and undiminished, until the year 2017. Plus they are now deploying still more new missiles, the Topol-M, which has both FOBS capability, MARV capability and purportedly even has stealth.
Were you aware that we are rebuilding the military.
If you're going to change how the military is structured, you're going to have to CANCEL some programs and some groups - because they no longer exist .. DUH!!
And .. Bush has his own agenda he wants to get done in his last 3 years. The last thing he needs is wall-to-wall Clinton in the newspapers and on TV every day. And .. because of the President's reverence for the OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY - I'm sure he's reluctant to drag THE OFFICE through the mud.
So far the old media is cooperating and is silent about the treasonous actions of the former president.
