Another General Against Rumsfeld
 |
“I really believe that we need a new secretary
of defense because Secretary Rumsfeld carries way too much baggage with him.
… Specifically, I feel he has micromanaged the generals who are leading
our forces there,” said retired Maj. Gen. Charles Swannack, former commander
of the 82nd Airborne Division.
Let's count them down.
Lt.
General Gregory Newbold, retired director of operations at the Pentagon's
military joint staff; Paul
D. Eaton who served in Iraq and trained the Iraqi army; former general
Anthony Zinni; and retired
Army Maj. Gen. John Batiste, who wouldn't take another star to stay in Iraq
because of Rummy; now Maj. Gen. Charles Swannack joins them.
That's an impressive group, but you can't forget the Fighting
Dems either. Over 50 veterans of both the Iraq and Vietnam wars who are
running as Democrats in 2006 because of the Iraq war.
There are so many military issues on the table, with Rumsfeld
at the head of the list of problems. Here's just one
example of what I've received over the months. There are many more.
