Will The Real Don Rumsfeld Please Step Down
"Secretary Rumsfeld's dismal strategic decisions resulted in the unnecessary deaths of American servicemen and women, our allies, and the good people of Iraq. He was responsible for America and her allies going to war with the wrong plan and a strategy that did not address the realities of fighting an insurgency. He violated fundamental principles of war ... set the conditions for Abu Ghraib and other atrocities that further ignited the insurgency ... constrained our commanders with an overly restrictive de-Ba'athification policy, and failed to seriously resource the training and equipping of the Iraqi security forces as our main effort. He does not comprehend the human dimension of warfare.
Major General John R.S. Batiste, US Army

"I don't appreciate the speculation about Don Rumsfeld; he's doing a fine job; I strongly support him ..."
"... when the final history is written on Iraq, (the deaths, torture and mutilation) will look like just a comma ..."
President George W. Bush, Deserter (a.k.a. "The Decider")
