Chavez Got it Wrong - Rumsfeld is the Devil

Bush is merely one of his tools.

The Senate Democratic Policy Committee is listening to retired military officers' opinions of Rumsfeld on the hill today. Too bad only the Democrats seem to be listening. These are generals we've heard from before on Rumsfeld's treachery. And they're worth listening to again.

Maj. Gen. John R. S. Batiste:
"I believe that Secretary Rumsfeld and others in the administration did not tell the American people the truth for fear of losing support for the war in Iraq."

Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton:
"Mr. Rumsfeld and his immediate team must be replaced or we will see two more years of extraordinarily bad decision-making."

Col. Paul X. Hammes:
[The United States] "did not ask our soldiers to invade France in 1944 with the same armor they trained on in 1941. Why are we asking our soldiers and Marines to use the same armor we found was insufficient in 2003?"

Eaton also calls Rumsfelds post-invasion plans "amateurish at best, incompetent a better descriptor."

Incompetent is one of the best descriptors I can think of for the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld horror show. The tens of thousands of dead and hundreds of thousands of injured because of it may have other terms.
