Bravo! As far as our troops go, we now have a professional army and it is classless and committed, our version of the French FL. The screwup is with this backdoor draft of reservists who did not choose this outcome for their service. They were to be part of the more mobile military not the stuck in the sands of iraq version they are being used for. You are right on about Rummy. He pulled bodies out of the pentagon on 9/11, he was successful in afganistan and tried to duplicate that success on a different playing field. It is a natural thing to do, so the real problem is when stuff in iraq started to go wrong, the policy did not adapt very much at all. Grounds for being fired. Truman fired MacArthur. Why was Rummy protected? It would have been a good move for bush both in terms of iraq policy and reelection. Same with cheney as vp if not rummy as he has become a drag on this ticket. Didnt he say yesterday that opponents of the war in iraq were blind to its success? Mike
