and the U.S. Constitution says something like? ....

I want to approve all troop deployments ....

I want this HVT bombed but leave that cafe open....

I want the JCS to "discuss" with CENTCOM requested troop levels needed to invade Iraq ....

I don't want the word occupy to be said ....

I want this battalion here and that company there.... OK I made that one up (I hope)

I fully understand that the President is Commander and Chief and what the Constitution says ... if only Rumsfeld would start taking the advice of professionals verse the voices in his head. The President should have accepted his resignation.

Your points are dead on and the comment was tongue in cheek. I think we all agree that this thing works best when everyone is rowing in the same direction. What really bothers me is your point about the micromanaging issue. I have worked with him long enough to know that that is not his style. Replacing him does not guarantee that the micromanaging stops.
