Absolutely not! - I not only admire Rumsfeld tremendously but I admire the president for showing guts and not giving in to the lefties who are dying to have Rumsfeld for a trophy. As much as I love the Military, they can also become lazy, unmotivated, stale, unless someone kicks them in the a** once in a while. The Pentagon can also be just another bureaucracy, just looking after themselves.
Many of the brass hated Rumsfeld from the git-go. Clinto had left them in charge of the cooky jar, and they felt entitled to call the shots. If we were short of men after 9/11, it was owing to the stewardship of men like Shinseki, who was more interested in berets than in bodyarmour.
