The last attempt I made to post was summarily closed and all the text was lost. Bummer. No big loss, it was just more of my harangue about the Bush administration and its latest gaffs. Then the latest was his admission of leaking info that was clasified, until he declasifies it, which may have been after he leaked it to "Scooter" to give to Miller, who never printed it, and about which, Scooter lied to the federal prosecutor, Fitzgerald. That matter is still in the works and may have interesting ramifications.

Criticism of Donald Rumsfeld, and his handling of the wars is growing as former military Generals come forward to voice their opinions about his management style, mostly intimidation, not inteested in team building or taking recommendations. His predictable rejoinder was, "why didn't they speak up when they were in command?". They reply that any questions raised or remarks made were turned aside and point to Gen'l Shineseki, who was simply booted when he spoke up. However, Rumsfeld's boss, the supreme leaker in chief says Rumsfeld is doing a heck of a job and ha wants him to stay despite calls for his resignation. This is typical of Bush to be too vain to accept such advice, in spit of all the evidence to the contrary. He just cannot make good decisions. It is a fatal flaw.
