I will go out on a limb and guess he was relieved because HE somehow leaked the pause and lack of supplies story of last week that media REUTERS reported bigger than what it was and Geraldo got detailic about (other Fox embeds would only confirm it was not new to them)This announcement I saw three news teams report left our troops like a sitting duck.
A relieve of duty days (nearly a week) later shows proper chain of command and investigations were done.
Interesting.
Another unknown source stated Rumsfeld understaffed the war big time. Could be same guy?
