Yep most of the bile thrown at Rummy has nothing to do with the WOT and has to do with the Paleo-Politicans and Defense Contractors getting the knives out to pay him back. The guy has got a bunch of their favorite pork projects cut out, or scaled back, in the military budget. Rummy dragged the Pentagon kicking and screaming into the 21st Century. Really moved us away from a heavy, hard to mobilize Armor heavy WW2 style force to a much more nimble, logistically lighter force. History, as much as it does any Sec Defense, will judge him one of the best Sec Defense ever.
History will be the judge, but we're thinking the same thing.
