Rummy Backing off from Iraq?

This article from Sunday's Washington Post Magazine is the second major attempt I've seen in the last few months to separate Donald Rumsfeld from the Iraq war. (Here's the other.)

The idea, basically, is that Rummy was more fixated on modernizing the military than invading any country. Iraq just happened to be the country that the President wanted to wack.

Rumsfeld may not like how this war is turning out. But he's been for it for a long time. And no amount of after-the-fact spin is going to change that.

let's put them all on trial for war crimes and sort 'em out that way.

2. Rumsfeld's 'ideas about modernizing the military'...

...will be seen in the future as what destroyed our military.

"Revolution in Military Affairs" my ass. It's been nothing but a 'revolution in new ways of ripping off military procurement'.
