Why couldn't he sign the letters personally?

He could I'm sure, however is it necassary?

If it is so important to perform such an action then perhaps a signature from the POTUS is at hand.

Rumsfeldt recently visited the troops in Iraq and his doing so was greatly appreciated by the troops as a whole, however when he returned to the states, his visit wasn't commended, he was chastised via the media for a lack of armor on the Humvee's.

Go figure.

He's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.

He's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.

EXACTLY. Officialdom and their media whore-operatives are in an uproar (and they were in an uproar from the day Rumsfeld moved BACK into his SecDef office in 2001, as this is the SECOND time he has been called to serve our Nation) because they know Rumsfeld does not suffer fools gladly.

The fact is, as SecDef, Rumsfeld has worked hand-in-glove with the President to liberate Afghanistan and Iraq, and I'm sure those successful operations had something to do with Libya choosing to fold their WMD cards as well.

That spells SUCCESS my friends.

Now when Rumsfeld was ambushed by that trick question in Iraq, he spoke the truth: you don't go to war with the army you wish you had, you go to war with the army you have in place at the time.

Some go wah-wah-wah, and say "we should have WAITED!" and unfortunately for those Monday morning quarterbacks, time was the one thing that was NOT cooperating with us when it came to launching Operation Iraqi Freedom.

The bottom line here is that instead of going apesh*t about whether or not Rumsfeld used an autopen or signed a letter himself, or whether or not he appears to 'care' enough for the troops (and as a Navy veteran, (aviator & flight instructor) himself, you can bet the rent that oh yes, he definitely CARES.), these are all the babblings of people who are falling into the Clintonian trap of embracing style over substance.

I don't give a good damn about anything but Rumsfeld's PERFORMANCE as SecDef, and that has been an absolute tour de force.

As for all these baying hounds howling for Rumsfeld to resign, does that mean they endorse the default position of John Kerry, who demanded over and over during the campaign that Rumsfeld should resign?

You Rumsfeld-bashers should have voted for Kerry and maybe you might have gotten your wish.

As for me, I'm behind Rummy 100 percent and so should the rest of you.
