Misdirected General Fire

Desert Rats Leave The Sinking Ship Why Rumsfeld Should Not Resign:

"Even the generals' complaint -- that Rumsfeld didn't give them enough troops -- was ultimately a decision of the cowboy from Crawford. (And by the way, the problem was not that we lacked troops -- the problem was that we lacked moral authority to occupy this nation. A million troops would not be enough -- the insurgents would just have more targets.)

President Bush is one lucky fella. I can imagine him today on the intercom with Cheney: 'Well, pardner, looks like the game's up.' And Cheney replies, 'Hey, just hang the Rumsfeld dummy out the window until he's taken all their ammo.'

When Bush and Cheney read about the call for Rumsfeld's resignation today, I can just hear George saying to Dick, 'Mission Accomplished.'

Generals, let me give you a bit of advice about choosing a target: It's the President, stupid. "
