You don't accomplish doing that by running troops and equipment to death without allowing for replacements and equipment upkeep. What part of that can Rummy and congress not yet comprehend? If Rummy on 9/12/01 had went to the POTUS and before Congress and said we are going to war and we need more troops. Then you might be right. He would have gotten them too. Why didn't he? Why you tell me does he insist on running what we have left ragged? That includes troops on third Iraq deployments.
Men with vision and courage will define and fight our future battles.
