The Scouts have steadfastly stood for God, haven't they?
Besides, it was time for Rummy to go. It really was.

Besides, it was time for Rummy to go. It really was.I agree that a strategy shift was needed, but I fear that this new SOD will be soft. We need a SOD who is ruthless and who is not willing to sacrifice any American troop for the sake of politically correct rules of engagement.
I fear that the principle reason we are losing so many troops of late is that they are under such oppresive rules of engagement that they cannot unload their weapons unless and until one of their platoon members is killed. An engagement policy of "shoot first ask questions later" is often necessary in an environment where everyone you meet is a potential assassin.

I wasn't speaking against Gates.
I was just generally venting. My prayer was for protection from Pelosi and Clinton Deux and Reid and Conyers, ad nauseum.
