Days of war and Rumsfeld

IT SADDENS me to write these words, because I respect and admire him so. But it's time for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to move on.



Rummy, on balance, has been a terrific secretary of defense.

Mr. Rumsfeld's efforts to reform a baroque, wasteful, and frequently corrupt Pentagon procurement process have been heroic.

What Mr. Rumsfeld has done to seize the high ground in space and to advance ballistic missile defense will benefit this nation for decades to come.

Mr. Rumsfeld shook the military out of Cold War thinking and an obsolescent Cold War basing structure. He has been the driving force behind a long overdue and badly needed transformation.

And those of us in the heartland will always fondly remember Rummy for demonstrating so vividly, in their interchanges in the early stages of the Iraq war, that the Pentagon press corps is "stuck on stupid."

But the balance is shifting. Mr. Rumsfeld has always had flaws (as do we all), and his flaws have caught up with his many virtues.

1. Still can't admit he was a Katrina to our military.

2. Rummy is also coming unglue. I saw him in yesterdays

press conference, and he was actually yelling in response to questions about the US losing ground in Iraq. It was quite out of charater for him.

3. Their idol Rummy has clay feet that go up to his neck.

Rummy as much as any other bush administration freak is responsible for the destruction of what was once an incredible military. Now just look at it.

Did the author of this article forget about the lack of armor for the troops? Is he aware of Rummy's $9 billion slush fund out of the first $180 billion given to the Iraq fiasco? Heroic, my a**.

4. Rummy can move on....

right straight to the Hague. Do not pass go. Give all our money back. He must not get off light on this one.

7. The Hague can have him...

after WE are done with him.
Theft, fraud, and criminal negligence have statute of limitations to worry about. War Crimes and crimes against humanity do not.

5. Yes, we all have flaws, but most of us won't put the lives of our soldiers

in danger just to protect the commander in chief's reputation.

6. Rumsfeld deserves zero credit

There has been no change in methods and doctrine and privatization has made the Armed Forces dependent on outside help when it was more beneficial to go pre-Clinton and keep the Armed Forces as self-sufficient as possible.

One of a very scant few things that was beneficial was the killing of the supremely wasteful Comanche helicopter project.
