    Notice how Iraq didn't start to improve till Dumbsfield was gone, there is a reason for that. He like Robert Macknamera was SO SURE that what he was doing was working that he DIDN"T need FACTUAL CONFIRMATION TO PROVE IT.

    (and of course, guess which way most of the evidence was pointing).

    I will credit Bush with ONE THING, at least he took Condi Rice's advice and "changed course".

    We may still have a disaster over there, but with Dumbsfield in charge WE WERE ASSURED OF ONE.
    (some of us called it "Faith-Based" military policy making)
    So...the good folks gone and the yes men still in place? Or has the new DOD secretary reshuffled the deck to bring back some balance?
