I guess that 'time will tell' if Rumsfeld's getting too much credit or not.

However, the battle over the Crusader budget wouldn't have been prosecuted by very many of the past Secretaries I can think of. He (with Bush and Cheny's support) took on the Pentagon bureaucracy, the contractors and the Hill to kill the program.

It's just too bad that there aren't any Rumsfeld wannabee's in any other departments. How about some transformation in the Dept. of Education or HHS?...or State?

Well...Rummy's in his 70's and still getting stronger. Perhaps when he is 80 he can take on the teacher union.

We've seen a transformation in several departments. Don't know what you mean about State.
