#268, it did not bother me like it did you, because I felt that Rummy had accomplished most of what he was hired to do. His main Job before 9-11 was to change the horribly bloated, inefficient,costly, Lobbyist heavy, Top Heavy Defense Department. It is a shame he only had a short time before 9-11 interrupted the Huge Plan. Obviously some of those Major players in that Bloated Bureaucracy saw the writing on the wall and either left or turned leakers to stir up trouble. They are worse than the Enemy, they are the enemy within, and typical of those that stayed and profited by the Clinton Presidency. They had their own paychecks, Promotions in mind, not the safety of our citizens either here or in the rest of the World. They are probably not even ashamed, and some of them are still there waiting to leak more info to the DBM. John Murtha would not have been able to flim flam, scam, connive, and screw the Taxpayers over, lining his pockets, and various criminal cohorts if the Pentagon had been run by Rumsfeld many years ago. I worked at the Pentagon in 1967 and 1968, and it should have been Overhauled way back then. I think Rummy was more than ready to leave, and like a real man does, he picked the time and place. Now that Rummy is gone, part of the over-reaching of the Rats and the DBM will be tempered, and if the Rats get really bad/over the top as is their normal behavior in any hearings they will look more anti-Military than they already do.
