Joe, when it comes to invading countries, or leading a large scale military organisation , Rumsfeld did not have the experience
show me any prior track record in leading at the top military level
you know, and i know , that he didn't have that experience
when he left the navy , he was an instructor with zero active combat under his belt...
yet he felt confident enough to dismiss Shinzecki, and flat out bully him in retirement...
Shinzecki DID have the experience, he DID have the trackrecord and he HAD lead military operations
Rummy was the plumber , doing surgery
and as it turns out , he got it wrong in Iraq
again , i ask you do you agree with Rumsfeld ignoring Shinzecki when he did?? cause that is in direct contradiction to your comments about experience and right man for the job...

it's called a forum for just that reason, a place to discuss things
there's no section in Waynes rules that excludes non Americans from discussing American policy and how American policy affects non american folks, if you don't like it , don't read it , it's your right
if you can't take the comments, then perhaps you should urge your governement from meddling outside it's borders as if it were the police of the world... high trees catch a lot of wind...

One would think that unless they wanted the plumber to start preforming surgery on people, that the smarter people in this word would listen to the experienced military people. Its sure not being done on this forum most of the time.

then why didn't Rummy listen to his top General?
why did he dismiss the Powel Doctrine, and invented his own Doctrine?

never said the America was the wost country in the world, you're a bit overreacting there

people die every day to get into the EU just the same
that's no measurement for moral supremacy
it's a measurement for better living standards than the origin of these folks...
