Queenie's Daughter

Tuesday, April 18, 2006

Rumsfeld: a disgrace to this nation.

The distortion of intelligence in the buildup to the war, McNamara-like micromanagement that kept our forces from having enough resources to do the job, the failure to retain and reconstitute the Iraqi military in time to help quell civil disorder, the initial denial that an insurgency was the heart of the opposition to occupation, alienation of allies who could have helped in a more robust way to rebuild Iraq, and the continuing failure of the other agencies of our government to commit assets to the same degree as the Defense Department."
Retired Marine Lt. Gen. Greg Newbold, the former director of operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff as quoted in Time Magazine.
