"As you know, you go to war with the army you have, not the army you might want or wish to have at a later time," Rumsfeld had told the soldier in Kuwait.

When the Germans attacked the Poles in 1939, Poland responded with its cavalry. Surely you mean, armored cav...right? Wrong.

Poland went to war "with the army it had, not with the army they might have wanted or wished to have..."

The assault by a Polish mounted brigade against a column of infantry and motors - only a fragment of the fight against the German invasion in 1939 - was executed in the glorious tradition of the horse cavalry's saber-wielding charge.

It wasn't long before the horse cavalry and the nation of Poland were probably asking themselves why their PREDECESSORS had retained a national defense force that used horses. Sometimes weak decisions aren't displayed until the bullets fly. This was one of those times.

What was Poland to do? Fight the war, of course, was the first step. To have outfitted the army overnight with armor would have been nice.

I am really tired of the criticism of Rumsfeld by all these knuckleheads. I always expected he would STAY ON with the Bush team. I would have been very disappointed had he not stayed.

Why would you get rid of someone doing a great job??

I am proud of Bush for standing on principle. And I look forward to the next 4 years!
