Bush had "admonished" Rumsfled for not
keeping him apprised of these horrendous photographs; yesterday, Bush said
Rumsfeld had done a "superb" jo

Rumsfeld is only cabinet member who understands the nature of current conflict.

If he had chosen to send "overwhelming" force to Iraq,Iraq war would be lost
even before first shot were fired.

If your opponent is Global Financial Power you must run Pentagon like a
Pharmacy company .
In order to win a war with Global Financial Power you must prove that financial
returns from the military invasion are better than invading this country with
Hondas,Toyatas,BMWs, Microsofts etc.

So,"overwhelming force" has no chance aganist such an opponent,but a lean and
very capable force might have a slight chance.

But unfortunately Rumsfeld is the Defense Secretary of United States not a
Confederate Defense Secretary.
He seems to forget that frequently.
