Look there is never smoke without fire- Most news sites are running this story- not just the "usual suspects"
There is a great article in the Washington Post
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A49010-2003Mar29.html
Which sums up neatly the fact that Rumsfeld has and did "micromanaged" the deployment plan- resulting in the problems we are encountering today.

As a conservative I believe in one thing- politicians shouldn't micro-manage the economy- leave it to market forces. In the same vein politicians (civilian leadership) should not micro-manage the war- leave it to the generals.

I suspect that Colin Powell in failing to secure a UN second vote and Rumsfeld for putting all his faith, incorrectly, in technology rather than boots on the ground might not see office in the second Bush term.

The Wash. Post IS "one of the usual suspects".
