Bush did the right move by going into Iraq. But I had a belief that he had a team around him that knew what to do. He should have gotten rid of Rumsfeld when he heard the the first bit of rumbling about the failures over there. His loyalty to old timers was a severe cost to many young lives of soldiers in Iraq. Afghanistan should have been our main focus. I'm still realistic that there is nothing value in Afghanistan nor will there ever be other than a training camp for terror and a weapons testing ground for us. The more direct way to fight this would be to follow the money trail and inflict damage there.
I believe we ARE hitting them financially also.
As for getting rid of Rummy, well, its always easier to be brilliant after soemthing doesn’t work out well. On the other hand, its difficult to know which is worse, moving rummy out and the cosequences with that, or leaving him in.
