Scorned general's tactics proved right Profile of the army chief sidelined by Rumsfeld Matthew Engel in Washington Saturday March 29, 2003 The Guardian This has been a terrible week at the Pentagon: the worst since the building itself was attacked more than 18 months ago. But as his limo drew up to fetch him last night, one of the most senior figures in the building might just have permitted himself the thin smile of a vindicated man. His name in General Eric Shinseki. And at a time when generals - whether on active or pundit duty - are the hottest showbiz properties in the world, hardly anyone knows who he is. From time to time, this argument has been appearing in articles for nearly two years. However, it never gets much press because Rummy's approach to war sort of worked in Afghanistan. I say sort of because they got the Taliban out of power but through dispersal and not by capture, and they never caught OBL. With Iraq, its beginning to look like the approach favored by Rummy may be experiencing some problems. Time will tell if this general is right or not. ted
