US Military Leaders, Editors Continue to Come Out Against Donald Rumsfeld
US Military Leaders, Editors Continue to Come Out Against Donald Rumsfeld
Gilford, NH (PRWEB) October 9, 2006
Recently on Capitol Hill, three retired US military officers criticized Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld’s handling of the War in Iraq, and added their voices to the call for Rumsfeld’s resignation.
Major General John Batiste, Major General Paul Eaton, and Colonel Paul Hammes each spoke to a specific, critical failure related to the War in Iraq, and each laid the blame at Rumsfeld’s doorstep.
At the Democratic-sponsored event, Batiste took Rumsfeld to task for ignoring the “certainty” of an Iraqi insurgency and selling an overly optimistic picture of the war to the American people. Eaton spoke to Rumsfeld’s failure to put enough troops on the ground to make the War in Iraq a success. And Hammes addressed the failure to provide US troops with the right equipment for their work, paying special attention to the recurring issue of armor for soldiers and their vehicles.
After viewing reports of this testimony on CNN American Morning, DeadBrain.com editor (and the grass roots maestro behind http://www.RumsfeldDiaries.com) Allen Voivod said, “Every day, more prominent soldiers, citizens, government officials, editorial boards, celebrities, and pundits call for Rummy’s resignation. What Batiste, Eaton, and Hammes spoke about constitutes only a fraction of Rummy’s failures.
“What are we waiting for? Do we need something worse to happen? Wake up, Bush Administration – we need new leadership at the Pentagon. Rummy has to go!”
