So then you must believe that both Tommy Franks and President Bush are idiots since they can't see what is so apparent to you.
I was always upset at him for not listening to the Army leadership more with respect to troop levels. I never put the blame directly on him for the armor and equipment issue as Clinton's cuts bear a lot of the blame, but Rummy's response to that question made me furious. And the reaction to that question (only now increasing Armored Humvee production), has made me believe that Rummy was to blame, at least partially, for the lack of armor and equipment anyway.
Then there was the condolance letters incident. That was just the icing on the cake. He needs to go. I stand by that. Many people in the military agree, but are not at liberty to say. You can't just talk to the generals, you have to talk to the soldiers. Almost all of them support Bush and this war, but numerous things that have been handled directly by Mr. Rumsfeld has not made them believe that the SecDef cares about them.
