Exactly so…

The LA Times (my emphasis)…

The secretary should go not because he has been criticized by a group of retired generals but because he embodies the smugness and inability to acknowledge error that has characterized both the Iraq war and the wider war on terrorism. Rumsfeld has been the pinched public face of an administration that has cut legal and humanitarian corners in dealing with people -- including U.S. citizens -- suspected of involvement with terrorists.

In fact, it's important to understand that the Generals are only coming forward because Rumfeld "embodies the smugness and inability to acknowledge error" of the administration. He's the current target in a much larger field of fire, the first step up a chain of command that has failed the troops, failed our country and failed the Iraqi people.

Rummy has to go, but there's a more radical cure required for the malady infecting our nation.



Remember in November. Eyes on the prize.
