Marine Corps Times on Monday, calling for Rumsfeld to go

Marine Corps Times on Monday

 

calling for Rumsfeld to go

 

Rumsfeld has lost credibility with the uniformed leadership, with the troops, with Congress and with the public at large. His strategy has failed, and his ability to lead is compromised. And although the blame for our failures in Iraq rests with the secretary, it will be the troops who bear its brunt.

War supporters reconsider

Also Friday, several conservatives who pushed for the invasion of Iraq said they would not have supported a war if they knew how poorly the Bush administration would handle it, according to Vanity Fair magazine.

"I think now I probably would have said, 'No, let's consider other strategies for dealing with the thing that concerns us most, which is Saddam (Hussein) supplying weapons of mass destruction to terrorists,"' said Richard Perle, who sat on the Pentagon's Defense Policy Advisory Committee until 2004.

Kenneth Adelman, who served on the Defense Policy Board with Perle, said Bush, Defense Rumsfeld and others in the administration "turned out to be among the most incompetent teams in the postwar era. Not only did each of them, individually, have enormous flaws, but together they were deadly, dysfunctional."

Adelman is a member of the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board well-known for his involvement in conservative policy efforts dating back to the 1970s, when he was a member of the neoconservative Committee on the Present Danger. More recently, he strongly supported the war on Iraq and worked for the think tank, Project for the New American Century, arguing for new policies to help the United States remain a global leader.
Critics of the war in Iraq point to Adelman's predictions regarding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Adelman said that weapons were likely to be near Tikrit and Baghdad, "because they're the most protected places with the best troops. I have no doubt we're going to find big stores of weapons of mass destruction." [2]
He also claimed that the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq would be a cakewalk: "I believe that demolishing Hussein's military power and liberating Iraq would be a cakewalk. This President Bush does not need to amass rinky-dink nations as 'coalition partners' to convince the Washington establishment that we're right." [3][4]

Regrets of Iraq Stance
In an issue of Vanity Fair that was published in November of 2006, Adelman indicated that he regrets urging military action in Iraq and feels that he overestimated the abilities of the Bush administration leadership. He was quoted of saying "I just presumed that what I considered to be the most competent national security team since Truman was indeed going to be competent." He also added, "They turned out to be among the most incompetent teams in the postwar era. Not only did each of them, individually, have enormous flaws, but together they were deadly, dysfunctional."

You forgot to add that the Army Times, Navy Times, and Air Force Times are going to publish the same thing simultaneous to the Marine Times piece.

Skyler will come back with the fact that all four military papers are owned by the liberal Gannet Corp..I wouldn't bet on him buying into it Tkozy..he will find a way to bash it..

It is also an OpEd..which means its not a fact, just an opinion.

I'll say it again:  You can support the troops or you can support the President.  BTW, this is the second time The Army Times has run a piece calling for Rumsfeld to resign.  It's only getting this play because of the election.  There are some saying that the reason they've decided to rerun the piece now is because they didn't get the traction they wanted last time.
