Don't anyone get me wrong, I like Rumsfield. But I wish he had listened to Powell more when planning this Iraq campaign.

Powell doctrine calls for overwhelming force. As powerful as the units we have in place are, they fall short of what Powell would have used if he had been calling the shots.

Powell didn't get his four stars without knowing his trade. As smart as Rummy is, war is not his field of expertise.

Hit the showers champ... you are watch Al jazera too much. Estimates are 25 K dead on there side. We are 200 miles in 5 days. We are taking another air field in N. Iraq. I am not sure what kind of Overwhelming force you are talking about? Why didn't we start by Nuking everyone? Please explain.
