Posts like these only reinforce Joe's comments. Clearly the posts regarding Eric Shinseki being dismissed by Rumsfeld, etc are simply repetition of outright lies. Shinseki retired on the date he had projected before Rumsfeld even took office. Although Rumsfeld and Shinseki had a great deal of differences regarding the composition of the Army (Shinseki favored a cold war type military while Rumsfeld advocated a faster more flexible force)....history appears to have proven Rumsfeld right...not Shinseki. This was the source of animosity between the two, not Iraq. The testimony regarding Iraq was just a parting shot by a dissed general who was still fighting the coild war and wrong about just about everything.
