Every liberal and even some conservatives are coming down on Rumsfeld and want his head on a platter. Have mistakes been made in Iraq? Of course they have and others will be made. No war is perfect and goes 100% as planned. What do you think would have happened in WW II if Henry Stimson, FDR’s Secretary of War, had received the same treatment Rummy has gotten? After all more men died on D Day than in the whole war in Iraq, and The Battle of the Bulge which lasted from December 16, 1944 to January 28, 1945 was the largest land battle of World War II in which the United States participated. More than a million men fought in this battle including some 600,000 Germans, 500,000 Americans, and 55,000 British. At the conclusion of the battle the casualties were as follows: 81,000 U.S. with 19,000 killed, 1400 British with 200 killed, and 100,000 Germans killed, wounded or captured. Rumsfeld deserves some slack, I hope President Bush sticks by him.
