Re: Exactly.....However
[ QUOTE ]
Pretty comprehensive list. I'd add "not relieving Donald Rumsfeld of his job for 4 years" to the list, as well. [/ QUOTE ] It depends how much authority Rumsfeld was given by Bush. Rummy works for Bush and had to work under the framework dictated by Bush. Rummy made a lot of enemies in the pentagon by axing the Crusader artillery project. Also pissing off several generals with his direct style of communication. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XM2001_Crusader If Bush gave Rummy a free hand with the post war occupation, then Rummy deserves a lot of blame. If Bush placed hand cuffs on Rummy, then Bush is to blame. I can say from my contacts in the army that Rummy was popular with the rank-and-file types. I know more than most people to say I don't have enough info to know how good or how bad Rummy was.... |
