You know nothing about Counter Insurgency, Nothing about Iraq and nothing about Rummy yet you presume to stand arrogantly in judgment over the job he has done? Read the data. Iraq has been a very successful Counter Insurgency. IS it perfect? No but NO war, outside a Rambo movie ever is.

Simply find it amazing that supposedly rational Americans cannot seem to grasp that war is messy violent ugly and wasteful. It is especially so of a Counter Insurgency op. There are no simple answers. No Shining Knight on Horseback to ride in and save you from these messy emotional unpleasant things you feel thinking about Iraq.

The Russians followed YOUR Total War dogmas in Afganisang. We sent 500,000 troops to Vietnam. How that work out?

I'll tell you. They utterly failed. Stick you what you know. You clearly do not know enough about Iraq to render any serious opinion on the quality of the job Rummy did.

...apparently your view does not represent that of the POTUS or the majority of those residing in the US. Deal with it.

"You know nothing about Counter Insurgency..."

Apparently neither does Rummy.
