Mike, You cant be satisfied with the way this war is being run. If you were secy of Defense, how may troops would you have sent, would you have sent MI contractors, would you have allowed the breakdown in the MP units involved in the current scandal?? If you answer as i expect you to, you will have no choice but to personally hand a few generals their pink slips asap, if not rumsfeld himself. Yesterday i accused rummy, cheney et al of doing war on the cheap. I would adjust that a bit today and say that they are directly responsible for the failure of the neocon policy. Guys like kristol have been quietly critiscising all along--we should watch fox news sunday to see how he reacts. Iraq is a huge setback for nation building. We wont be doing this again any time soon. And it will be for all the wrong reasons. The ideology may have been correct but the technocrats didnt give it a fighting chance. So neoconism will always appear as a failed policy just like the war in VN> mike
