This Administration not only is inept and fails bigtime when it comes to diplomacy; it also is inept when it comes to military planning. This is proven by reading the articles highlighted below. Perhaps the greatest fault of this Administration is that it simply does not know how to read people, what they think, what they feel and how they wish to behave. Instead, this Administration thinks it can force societal behavior into its own mould of precepts. If this keeps up, folks will eventually begin arguing for two-year, instead of four-year, terms for the president! Then and Now: April 26, 2002: "...Gen. Tommy Franks "wants to do a Desert Storm II," said one official, referring to the 550,000 troops deployed to the region in 1990-91 to evict Iraqi forces from Kuwait...." washtimes.com December 9, 2002: "...Some of that concern has diminished in recent weeks, after Rumsfeld abandoned his original notion of a relatively small ground force of 75,000 troops to attack Iraq and approved plans for an invasion that would use up to 250,000...." usatoday.com January 27, 2003: "While Franks said he needed at least 250,000 troops, Rumsfeld wanted no more than 100,000...." matrix.textore.net
