If you read the actual memo, Rummy has got some pretty darn good ideas. And I don't think they contradict anything anyone is saying.
Just read the memo.
I hope folks here and elsewhere quit saying it's either 'cut and run' or 'stay the course.' There is a lot in between.
I agree - - Rummy's camp leaked it.
And the Xlimes comparison of his suggestion of redeployment of some of the troops to outside of Baghdad or Kuwait was "Exactly what rep Murtha was proposing!!!"
What a full of crap distortion that is, a true gag alert. Sec Rumsfeld's memo is totally twisted by The Slimes as usual as they head further down the toilet.
1) How long has the NYT known about this memo?
2) why are they writing an article in defense of Rummy ?
3) Murtha didn't suggest moving troops to other cities to safer areas in Iraq or Kuwait
I agree...so why did they let him go or did he really resign?
