One question: Do you know what the TPFDL is?
If not, allow me to explain.
It is a highly complex computer generated program that lists, in specific order, the exact units and deployment timetables for a military operation based on specific and highly complex input data. We invested massive monies and efforts to get the system up and running, and it was a complete success in several conflicts, starting with(IIRC) Desert Storm.
Rumsfeld, in his infinite wisdom, did not like the force levels that the TPFDL spit out, so he simply THREW IT OUT.(this is detailed at length in the Book Cobra II).
Rumsfeld is a MORON.

When you say Rumsfeld threw it out are you saying that Rumsfeld (and his Generals) threw it out? I have heard Rumsfeld and Bush say repeatedly that the Generals are getting the troop levels they want, are they lying, will we find out when these generals retire that they wanted more? Or are the Generals part of Rumsfelds league of morons?
