Ashcroft was, Runmy was, Bolton was, Cheney is. Hmmm, there may have been others.
Ain’t sure about Rummy
He may have been out of touch with the type of war were are in
We should have Surged a lot sooner
Was Rummy calling the shots ?
Bolton yes good man
Cheney is VP not an appointee
Agree about Ashcroft and Bolton and Cheney. I don’t know about Rumsfeld. History will reveal how much he was responsible for the failure to prevent the Iraqi war from dragging on so long. Tennet, Minetta, Whitman, the former head of FEMA, Alberto, were ALL bad choices - either in selecting them or keeping them onboard from the Clinton catastrophy.
It appears the current push in Iraq is working militarily. WHY did the administration wait until NOW to do this? This should have been done well before the mid term elections.
Unfortunately, the American people have no stomach for protected conflicts. We lost nearly as many people at the battle of Tarawa in WW2 in just a few days as we have lost in several years in Iraq. But the Dems and their fellow travelers in the media have apparently succeeded in guttign American resolve in these battles against Islam and so the Administration should have planned and executed blitzkrieg type operations in Iraq, Syria and Iran and replacement the existing anti-American governments with stable pro-American ones.
The seeds of freedom and democracy can only flourish on fertile ground and the Islamic world is not fertile ground. As long as they are prisoners of the philosophies devised by their bandit pedophile founder, they are faced with only two choices: chaos or dictatorial rule.
