RUMMY SHOOTS HIMSELF IN FOOT EVEN IN DEPARTING MEMO

[Don Davis]

Proving that there were some “unknowns” that we didn’t know about a “know-it-all” SECDEF, a departing memo from Donald Rumsfeld concedes that his own strategy in Iraq was not working and called for a major course correction.

Rumsfeld notes how the war has evolved from “major combat operations to counterterrorism, to counterinsurgency, to dealing with death squads and sectarian violence — to Iraqis disguising themselves as Hasidic Jews in a desperate attempt to survive.”

Most significantly, Rummy urged a change from “Stay the Course” to an admonition to the Iraqis to “Drop your Cocks and Grab your Socks” — which itself is unlikely to work, given the fact that the sock factory in Baghdad has no electricity.

1. I think Rummy is trying to say that the Iraq strategy is like Powells UN speech.

Basically they told him how they wanted it done. He did it.

Doesn't really matter.

I don't think though Rummy released the memo. I really don't why is that? Am I ignorant?

2. He wrote it when he knew the election was lost, so history would

remember him differently.
