B, Powell deserves the credit for the items that you explained. Rumsfeld got the funding and got the approval from congress to get it. The CIVILIAN DoD has no business meddling with planning...........none. Forcing seasoned Generals out because they publicly disagreed with his "plan" now how many violations does that constitute. Powell is the new Grand Puba of SF not Rumsfeld, in fact Rumsfeld isn't helping SF at this point. He's the one that pushed for enlistee's to sign up directly for SF or Ranger duty/training it used to be earned.

He's a F--- beligerant A-- and his policies are costing lives. His time is up and he needs to go, do you really believe a person should be allowed to spend their entire life developing the power that he has. I don't think anyone will doubt that he tells W what to do.
