Rummy did his job extremely well, despite the saboteurs inside and outside the Pentagon and State Department. We won the war in an amazingly quick and efficient fashion and spared the oil wells from being torched. The State Department started losing the peace and the press and other naysayers are working hard to make sure the enemy prevails.
My theory is that Rummy has so many pissy little detractors because he is extraordinarily effective, and they know they could not even lick his boots. (Well, I think he wore rubber soled shoes to the office, but you get the point).
Great observations - a shame that the butt-wipe author of the article is so blind.
The race to Baghdad under the threat of WMD was one for the history book. I don't know if that was Tommy Franks, Don Rumsfield or both but I know the operation will be studied in the future.
And so it begins, the left will begin to rewrite history in a concerted effort to tag Rummy and any other Republican with a Vietnam like political millstone. HOGWASH!
What culpability do Democrats have for actively working for defeat so they can gain politically?? What about Harry Reid’s comments. What about Nancy Pelosi’s freelance negotiations with our enemies.
Sorry, meandog, you and those who believe this disinformation do not cut it.
Good points.
We saved the oil wells, secured the national treasury (to the extent Saddam and his loozer relatives and henchmen hadnt already looted it)- and did an amazing job in terms of minimizing human losses for us and the Iraqis in such a massive operation-
and yet
liberals and the NYT immediately got out the sharp knives because “Rummie” (and the US military) failed to stop Ali Baba’s thieves from looting the Iraqi national museum.
Remember?
Rummy should be the GOP candidate for POTUS. He downsized the Pentagon getting rid of tax wasting positions and programs and he should do the same for the entire Federal apparatus. But alas the Dims, MSM, and the bureaucracy have got rid of him as a threat.
