And what are Jo Ann Davis's qualifications as a military expert?
She stayed in a Holiday Inn Express?
I suppose she was impressed with Gen Shinseki's vindication on the matter (in following the Powell doctrine of overwhelming force vice Rumsfeld's "limited presence" of sending just enough troops to ensure victory defeat).
I clicked on this thread to make that point but you beat me to it.
Like Ms. BJ Clintooon, she must be pretty confident in her belief that her "constituents" are too dense to ask that question. LOL
Good question!
Secretary Rumsfeld has constantly ignored the professional advice of senior army officers and insisted the war will be fought his way. Mr. Rumsfeld's way has lead to unnecessary casualties and wasted capital. Furthermore, he puts our nation at risk because we are not able to focus on future, riskier potential conflicts, such as Iran and North Korea. Every army soldier saw the way he treated General Shinseki, an honorable man who lost part of his leg in combat in Vietnam and many soldiers felt slighted for their service by such treatment. Still others think he is nothing sort of an egomaniac. A senior army officer once told me he thinks Mr. Rumsfeld is the worst SecDef since Mr. MacNamara.
Mr. Rumsfeld should resign for the good of the nation.
Flame away folks, but it will be mostly navy and air force guys defending the SecDef.
