It is more than ridiculous, it is shameful and borderline criminal. If you accept the assumption that the civilian CinC has allowed the senior military leadership to prosecute the tactical aspects of this war unfettered, then you must accept the premise laid out in this article that the generals are purposely giving the circus away for free.
What kind of person willingly sacrifices the lives of our young citizens through Political Cowardice (I refuse to use "correctness") in order to advance their personal agenda? Doesn't this make the senior military leadership guilty of all the transgressions so hysterically leveled at the Bush administration for the last four years?
Your grandson-in-law shall remain in our prayers for a speedy and successful recovery. Thank him for his selfless service, also. Recognize that he embodies that which is best in all of our citizens who wear the uniform and serve.

Good article on Rumsfield, I do not hold Rummy or Bush responsible as much as I do the Generals in the field. Pres. Bush has said over and over again, that he was trusting them to fight the war, did not want a repeat of Vietnam. Looks like we may have a repeat, only it is the General's running the show.
This war is not going well at all. I do not have the answers, but I know we need to fight to win. I do not like using our young men and women as we are doing now.
