I'd like to recommend that the bozos at the "military" Times who created this piece of fiction stick to pondering their genitals and leave the Iraq war to the adults.

What the general population will not know is that the Army Times is civilian owned & operated newspaper. It is NOT written by the DOD or the DA

On Oct. 11, 2006, Gen. George W. Casey Jr., commander of Multi-National Force-Iraq, was asked whether he needed more troops in Iraq. He responded: “I don’t – right now, my answer is no. … [I]f I think I need more, I’ll ask for more and bring more in.”

I got to work around (for) Gen Casey once in an exercise in Germany. The man was absolutely dedicated to winning that simulated, scenario-driven conflict.

It was restarted a couple of times to try different approaches, but the thing that sticks in my mind was that if it meant victory Gen. Casey would send entire brigades to confront death.

My take is that he will be no slacker when it comes to asking for troops. He was totally, completely, unequivocally dedicated to winning. It's his nature, and he doesn't pull punches or take shortcuts.

The bottom line: I absolutely trust him when he says that he'll ask for more troops if he needs them.

These scumbag newspapers are Gannett publications and the editorials are written by scumbag USA Today writers. I think the Pentagon should release a memorandum to all company commanders ASAP which instructs them to inform their troops that the United States military disavows any connection whatsoever with these sneaky rags.

Gateway Pundit has deployed numerous charts and tables in Rumsfeld's defense.

Secretary Rumsfeld should resign.

He has the only Superpower Military in the World..
Yet he can't beat a bunch of ragheads with RPGs
and his erroneous leadership has resulted in the Coalition losing over 100 dead last month.

Sorry Rummy, you talk a great talk, but you can't walk the walk.

Unless of course Rummy is being handcuffed by someone else. I can't imagine who that could be...humm who is there who could tell Rummy what to do or not to do?
