refused to fight. That is a "brilliant" victoryFrankly that is a sick stab in the back of the hard working men that not only organized this so well that you can think it was so easy, but fought it on the ground against non convential forces. Make your point to the 127 dead's family members.

Are you saying that those dead were all killed by the enemy or friendly fire and accidents? Most were not from enemy actions. The fact is, even Rummy was surprized that the enemy caved. We had firefights, you bet, but our advatage was incredible and the enemy primarily refused to fight.
Rummy micromanaged the war according to generals that threw a fit about it, especially about supply lines. That makes Rummy a politician no better than MacNamara. Even Powell, the commanding general of the first gulf war is at odds with Rummy, or does Powells accomplishment then not count.
