I voted, and it was a hard vote to make. It was for resignation. While I believe Secretary Rumsfeld is very intelligent, well intentioned and did what he thought best in the planning and execution of Operation Iraqi Freedom; he, along with General Tommy Franks, Paul Bremer, and Doug Feith (and several others); is responsible for the counterinsurgency on the brink of civil war we now face.
Mistakes are always made in these types of endeavors; good commanders learn from those mistakes and make course changes. IMHO Secretary Rumsfeld let his extremist dedication to “transformation” drive his decision-making process and his personality drove his reluctance to admit error when errors were made.
I, like many others here, applauded when he took on the Mainstream Media’s biased reporting. Still, even the MSM can be right at times. They called it an insurgency when the SECDEF denied it and they were spot-on. They reported on the ethnic and religious divisions and how it could very well lead to civil war and the SECDEF brushed it aside.
Of particular concern to me was the lack of planning and attention given to OIF Phase IV operations. Bottom-line, that phase was an abortion – everything from planning, troop levels to provide security during the post-1 May 2003 “Golden Hour”, the stove-piped chain of command between the military and the CPA, Bremer’s dissolution of the Iraqi Army and de-Baathification policies, to the military’s interpretation of Rumsfeld’s, Frank’s and later Sanchez’s commander’s intent that had our forces fighting one war while our enemy was fighting another.
I’ll get off the soapbox now; this is hard because I still believe it is critical to our national security interests to win in Iraq. Still, one of my heroes – often maligned on this board – General Anthony Zinni warned us early on to the situation we would face in Iraq and by extension the ripple effects throughout the Middle East.
People like Zinni should be running the show now – not Rumsfeld… We require people who understand the nature of the war and are willing enough to take mistakes in stride and provide the guidance to implement necessary changes to endure we achieve victory.
