Rumsfeld Resigns

Quote from selecto:

The war was won about 3 weeks after we started it. Rumsfield got that very right.

But controlling those madpersons thereafter? Remember, Sadam had to use mass graves and posion gas.

There's alot of truth to that point, looking at recent history. Not that what Sadam did was right. I admit I had no idea the Iraqis' hate each other. It reminds me of the Balkan Wars. As soon as Communism fell, Tito was gone, shortly thereafter the civil war began there.

the British would have partitioned the place immediately; just like Parkistan and India.

.....but for some reason I almost feel sorry for him.
Not me. Not at all. What an arrogant asshole he's been/is. And look at all the lives we've lost and others have lost on his watch. He and the other neocons are responsible for creating this whole mess and fully intended to expand it into Iran/Syria, etc. Now if someone will just tell Cheney to shut the fuck up. Perhaps our policy now will be one more of pragmatism rather than ideology.

Quote from toc:



The military victory was brilliant and swift, it was the after victory guerrilla warfare that created the stalemate.



Yeah right. Whose ass are you trying to blow smoke into except your own?

The military victory was brilliant and swift

no it was not. The americans were fighting a third world army. A fast advance was expected.

it was the after victory guerrilla warfare that created the stalemate.

General Eric Ken Shinseki was retired early by the neocon cabal because he defined military victory differently than your hero Rummy. He forsaw squashing guerrilla warfare as an integral part of winning the war and advised putting more boots on the ground.

No one sane "feels sorry" for Rumsfeld. He along with the top members of the neocon cabal belong in jail for manipulating military intelligence and misleading the american public to fit their political goals.
 
My impression's always been Bush was Rumsfeld's bitch
Rumsfeld's fucked-up so he doesn't get to play anymore
his being dumped a placatory gesture to the Democrats
and the bitch hopes to point the finger and say "HE DID IT !"

estimated that 600,000 civilians have died in violence
across Iraq since the 2003 American invasion

mind you, still got a ways to go —

Vietnam released figures on April 3, 1995 that a total of
one million Vietnamese combatants and four million civilians
were killed in the Vietnam war
 
Even worse, he doesnt have bush's post career stand up material to fall back on .

Poor rummy.
He didnt think the troops might be po'd by his "army we have now, not the army we would like to like to have" comments.

He needed targets, iraq had "targets", afghanistan didnt.

The fact that he's going now, rather than when he offered to, reeks of convenience for the administration.

He must feel so used..............


Poor guy.

AMEN!

Rumsfeld is not my hero, but blaming him for Iraq war solely is not right.
