FIRE RUMSFELD NOW!
No time in the history of America, has so many retired generals called for the resignation/firing of a Secretary of Defense. This month, 6 retired Generals have voiced this opinion.
Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, the architect of the U.S. invasion/occupation of Iraq is criticized for
invading Iraq with too few troops and disregarding ten years of war planning previous to the war, failing to discourage looting, failing to disarm hostile militias, ignoring and then underestimating the strength of the insurgency, allowing the abuse of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib, and ignoring soldiers who questioned their inadequate body and vehicle armor.
Casualties are mounting--over 2,500 American troops are dead, 50,000 innocent Iraqi women and children have been murdered, civil war is erupting, no Iraqi government has been formed, and Rumsfeld has no plan to win the war or for a US exit strategy.
Retired Army Maj. Gen. John Batiste, former commander the 1st Infantry Division forces in Iraq, stated it succinctly, “We went to war with a flawed plan that didn't account for the hard work to build the peace after we took down the regime. We also served under a secretary of defense who didn't understand leadership, who was abusive, who was arrogant, who didn't build a strong team."
Rumsfeld credibility and confidence is dwindling rapidly among both retired and active duty officers and enlisted personnel. Moral has declined dramatically and enlistments are at and all time low.
GEORGE BUSH FIRE RUMSFELD NOW BECAUSE HIS CONDUCT OF IRAQ HAS BEEN MEDIOCRE AT BEST!
