Rumsfeld's Iraq plan: many fewer troops than was requested by the military (less than 1/3rd as many. The last I heard was that the military said 560,000). Rumsfeld's playing soldier with real flesh and blood people. He's had this idea all along to have a flexible, high tech military able to get up and go play cop all around the world at a moment's notice.

Rumsfeld purposefully ignored the Powell doctrine of overwhelming force which was developed over two decades after the army-crushing debacle that was Vietnam. The Powell doctrine said you go to WIN. You go with a definite purpose. You go with a definite exit strategy which includes the definition of WIN.

Rumsfeld ignored Powell because he doesn't like him....personally. It's unbelievable that the childish emotions of a single idiot is costing us $300 billion + and the lives of 1465 troops to date.

Unreal. Bush = imbecile. Rumsfeld = despicable.

Now the rightwing for-idiots-only media is trying to blame everyone else EXCEPT for those who are to blame: Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Rice, Cheney, Bush.
