"Sorry. Civilians have run all of our wars. I like it that way, so did those old guys that wrote that thing called the Constitution!"

Yeah I know all that. But increasingly the politicians have bowed to poll numbers and screwed things up! Vietnam was a perfect example.

Stopping before Bagdad in the first gulf war was another huge mistake. All based on politics.

Why send these guys to the war colleges and then get in their way?

War is a terribly savage and ruthless business. The idea is to KILL the enemy, not spank him or be worried about his "civil rights".

If we have no stomach for it, then perhaps we should just roll over and each start bowing to Mecca.

I guarantee we will all be doing that unless we win this war and be equally as ruthless as our enemy.

Or be total pacifists and live with the consequences.

I prefer that we defend our country, and kill every last one who espouses hatred and a promise to kill us all!

Listen to your enemy, he is telling what he intends for you and he means every hateful, cult screaming, insane, religiously duped slogan he utters!

PS: Having said all that, I'm not sure Rummy IS the problem, but I think we could be doing better.

How about all the Arabs who live here and who could be helping us in this war, here and in Iraq to rid them of the subversives, bad guys in the Iraqi police force and army etc.

See some of my other posts. If you think the President and SecDef are taking a poll before they do everything your wrong. Are they smart enough to know that no one will put up with them nuking Iran? You bet. I said earlier that this is like 1936. We have not had 'Pearl Harbor' yet. 911 did not unite us like we were in WWII.
