Another bit of info that should be taken into consideration when voting is the testimony of U.S. military generals that retire and then feel free to tell Congress what a total fuck-up the war on Iraq was and is.
The generals have great contempt for Donald Rumsfeld and said that he, above everyone else, has screwed up the military operations in Iraq. They said he basically is incompetent and should be removed.
I would go so far as to state that he is personally responsible for the deaths of American soldiers (3,000 and counting). He did not allow enough troops to do the job correctly, did not allow the right equipment and totally miscalculated what needed to be done to secure Iraq.
President Bush stands by his man cause if Rumsfeld falls than so does his bullshit about why he went to Iraq and why he should stay.
Why are these generals coming out so strongly against the administration’s handling of the military in Iraq? Well, for one thing, they do not want history to blame them for the mess; painting them incompetent. They want to make sure history shows that their hands were tied by a Secretary of Defense that thought he was god and a president that also thought he was god.
Bush and Rumsfeld want to stay in Iraq until the next president takes office. Once the next president has to pull U.S. troops out of Iraq and all hell breaks lose, Bush will say it was the new president’s fault.
