Re: David Ignatius's comparison of Rumsfield and McNammara...I began to wonder who Ignatius was, what his background was, and was he in the Viet Nam War...or if he was old enough....Appears he was old enough, and also appears he was in Harvard at the time. Now is Paris based working for a NYTimes owned paper...and went to prep school with Al Gore. The comparison between the two men and their ideas is silly. McNammara sent men into War, with no intent of properly funding them, either by equipment, weapons, nor support. That is definitely NOT how Mr. Rumsfield is viewing the situation. Ignatius's bio can be found here (there is more than what is shown here~~ Also an interesting site on the US Economy during the Viet Nam War Years of 1960-1971) Bio on David Ignatius...partial...(and the IHT is now completely owned by NYT).... >>>>>>>David Ignatius, 50, is the executive editor of the Paris-based International Herald Tribune. He was named to the position in April 2000, following a 15-year career at The Washington Post. When he accepted the job at the Herald Tribune, which is jointly owned by the Post and The New York Times, he said would encourage the paper to place more emphasis on "how the technology explosion in America is being built out into the rest of the world." <<<<<<<<<<<<< newsluminaries.com 888888888888888888 >>>>>>>>But just how silly can the press corps get? Pretty silly, as we learned when the Post's David Ignatius wrote an op-ed on the paper's Gore profile. Ignatius offered personal recollections of Gore that perfectly matched the profile's conventional wisdom. And he showed how trivial a White House campaign can be in the hands of the mainstream press corps. Ignatius attended St. Albans with Gore (Ignatius was three younger). In his piece, he brings 35-year-old recollections of Gore to the business of selecting a president. Early on, he recalls Gore in high school:<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< dailyhowler.com 8888888888888888888888888 Viet Nam War Years: 1960-1971 The US Economy 216.239.33.100
