I hope Bush keeps him on. I kind of like Rumsfeld.

Pentagon fights back over Rumsfeld

People are quick to criticize Rumsfield, and yet this is the most safe war the US has ever been in.

and troop morale is not low. talk to the people over there. most of them want to finish the job.

you will always have some who can't hack it, and they are always the media whores.

As far as these generals, most of them are trying to "save face" so any books coming out about the war will absolve them of the few and far failures of the recent military efforts, which could have rendered far less American casualities with some good neutron bombs, and left the oil fields intact... That's what would have happened if this were really about the oil, or halliburton.

And of course, there is those who recognize that,.. and some of them are GENERALS retired and ACTIVE:

My uncle was over there and he would echo what you said Raum. He was glad to be over there and he wanted to finish the job. The death of his wife's dad (my grandpa) brought him back to the states and he didn't have the chance to rejoin his troops. He had a fairly dangerous job - he was the "painter" for targets. But he said that troop morale was high and that he really felt safe while being over there

Most of those General's are still steamed for being passed over or can't stand the thought of the US Military moving away from heavy armor to lighter and much faster tracks.
