President Bush and Rummy have always said that they will give whatever the generals in Iraq request. WWII generals made a lot of mistakes before they got it right. If there had been all this critiscm then we would never have won the war. I am getting really tired of Monday morning quarterbacking on the war and the criticsm of those running for president in 2008.
There was plenty of "Saturday evening" quarterbacking where the experts (aka - Offensive Coordinator) decided what the best way to handle the gameplan would be. Rummy decided to throw out their playbook and decided that he knew better.
Not always a bad thing, but if you take an action like that, you'd better be right. If you're not right, you should be man enough to admit it. And he should definitely be man enough to step down for the good of the Army and the soldiers that he's supposed to be protecting. And, if he's not man enough to step down, Bush should have the balls to sack him.
