		<description>I will remember and honor him for his actions on 9/11.  After that though...I can&#039;t say that I&#039;ll miss him or his policies.  

I believe he did the best he could.  I also believe he committed the worst crime a military leader can;  He engaged in wishful thinking.

But I&#039;m just a crusty ol&#039; MSgt who&#039;s getting very cynical about the entire affair.  Don&#039;t pay too much mind to me.</description>

As Captain Ed pointed out today (Dec. 10, 2006)&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/archives/008667.php&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Captain Ed pointed out today&lt;/a&gt;, Rumsfeld et al have already tried key elements of the ISG recommendations.  Rumsfeld&#039;s critics like to characterize him as obtusely stubborn but it is they who are stubbornly obtuse.  What&#039;s magic about the time-span thus far since the toppling of Saddam?  The Islamo-Fascists haven&#039;t set a time-limit for their struggle against Western Civilization.  Why should Western Civilization set a time limit for itself?  Why should Western Civilization now accept the ISG recommendation to go into what in the NFL is known as a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.webcommentary.com/asp/ShowArticle.asp?id=wrennj&amp;date=061208&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Prevent Defense&lt;/a&gt; which is often a recipe for losing rather than winning.
