Rummy...an objective look see....

Well Sir...I been a read'n all the various blogs and comments about how everone just loves old "Rummy" (especially the way he handles all them press folks) and strongly dislikes all them Generals that have been a criticizin him fer his handlin of the war...well...lets play some devils advocate fer a spell. Let's assume fer just a moment mind ya...that there be some truth ta what they be a sayin bout him and go frum there......

First question....although I couldn't agree more strongly about the bad timin these here Generals picked to criticize his efficacy....this also begs the question...WHEN THEN? This war on terror is gonna be goin on a long time...and...if as they say...old Rumsfield is in fact makin some critical mistakes in his handlin of the war and we be a loosin men and women cause of it...then when should these men say something...one year...two years...or three years frum now. How many loved ones are gonna be lost when somethin coulda been done to lessen these losses. No...somethin's gotta be said now....which brings us to the method they're a usin to bring these alleged error's to the attention of the public........

One almost has to assume ( I hate assuming) that in some formal..in house manner...these Generals went through a "Chain of Command" to inform the President of their concerns...and were rebuffed and rejected. It could in fact be that each of these men have very real concerns regarding the safety of our men and women in Harms Way...and in a last ditch ( possibly futile) effort to make politicians and the public alike aware of the whatever problems may exist regarding "Rummy" they took the course they did...knowing the heat they would take and are taking.

I know these thoughts and observations are not popular amongst most of my friends and fellow bloggers read'n this discertation, but I refuse to "re-act" based on my likes or dislikes, or emotional feelings regarding this man and/or the Generals involved. The political statements, monitary motives and observations that many people are printing and promoting in regards to their (the Generals) motives are certainly pure speculation at best and definately premature at this moment in time....

Let us give both factions the benefit of the doubt for the time being and see if there is indeed somethin valid to what they're a sayin, what can it hurt to take a closer objective look see....might even save a few lives if there be some truth to the allegations.....but....I guess thats just my way a thinkin......Cookie...
