Even Rummy Knew...

Two days before he was fired, Rumsfeld wrote a memo to Bush saying:

“In my view it is time for a major adjustment,”

“Clearly, what U.S. forces are currently doing in Iraq is not working well enough or fast enough.”

And it only took him 3 years to figure it out! The recommendations in the memo are similar to those Democrats had been asking for for over a year while they were being publicly demonized by the Administration, Rumsfeld included, as "cut and runners." In other words, the political needs of the Republican Party caused a cover up of massive corruption and incompetence. Our sons and daughters were put in harms way and kept in harms way under reckless leaders unchecked by Congress. The only way to retain power was to pretend things were going well. We weren't fooled this time.

Thank God the Democrats won! I expect they'll do their jobs and I'll hold them accountable when and if they don't. We all should.
