"It is one thing for the majority of Americans to think Rumsfeld has failed. But when the nation's current military leaders start to break publicly with their defense secretary, then it is clear that he is losing control of the institution he ostensibly leads."

"Regardless of which party wins Nov. 7, the time has come, Mr. President, to face the hard bruising truth: Donald Rumsfeld must go."

snip

"despite the best efforts of American trainers, the problem of molding a viciously sectarian population into anything resembling a force for national unity has become a losing proposition. For two years, American sergeants, captains and majors training the Iraqis have told their bosses that Iraqi troops have no sense of national identity, are only in it for the money, don't show up for duty and cannot sustain themselves. … And all along, Rumsfeld has assured us that things are well in hand."

but i suppose the authors are just terrorist huggers that don't support the troops and don't understand 'the stakes'.

right?

Interesting read, but I would be very surprised to see him step down.

I think the terrorists want to him to stay. He is doing a fantastic job.

As for many senior military officers' opinions about Rumsfeld, check out Woodward's State of Denial.

Rumseld is a micro-manager that hates the military and the people in the military, and likewise they hate him.

He detests the military process.

Someday more will be said.

And to my buddy: Vern Clark refused the position because of Rumsfeld.

Admiral Clark knew enough about Rumsfeld.

The only supporty Rumseld has is W. Bush.
