Rumsfeld Doctrine - EXPOSED -

Rumsfeld Doctrine - EXPOSED -

Perspective: Rumsfeld Doctrine suggests complicit participation of Cabinet members.

The "Rumsfeld Doctrine" - (reduced troops, hi-tech, fast strike), the Bush counter-policy to the "Powell Doctrine" - (troop strength nearly double that of Rumsfeld Doctrine), is flawed at least 3 ways;

Aspects of Iraq War Plan indicate poor 'Economic' advice.
Aspects of security privatization indicate 'Civil Rights' violations.
Which other Cabinet Secretary may be complicit in misguided underpinnings of Rumsfeld Doctrine?
Not Powell. The doctinal problems are in Economics and Secrecy concerns. At least 2 Cabinet members may go down with Rumsfeld for the failure of the "Rumsfeld Doctrine".

The Bush Cabinet combined to produce Rumsfeld Doctrine.
The Cabinet together produced inexcusable failures in judgement. No self-respecting conservative can accept; no liberal can recognize as anthing other than recklessness, belligerence, ignorant tomfoolery, incompetence or worse.

The Bush Years are a question of the president's failure
to plan for expected and foreseen consequences.

Rumsfeld should be forced to resign, without doubt. There is potential for other Cabinet members demonstrably complicit to the scandal of Rumsfeld Doctrine direction for Iraq War Part 2.

1. Let's hope the Rummy goes down in disgrace.
Also that he takes Wolfowitz down with him. And let's also hope that this reflects badly on Bush.

2. I think the "Rummie Doc" can work
in certain situations but Iraq is certainly not one of them.
