Doin' a Heckuva Job Rummy

The Army is not happy with our SecDef and are beginning to say so. They're using words like "incompetent" and "mismanaged". Another agency is saying our presence in Iraq is making enemies out of allies and creating a generation of terrorists.

Wasn't this what we were saying five years ago?

The White House is dismissing their concerns of course.

To top it off, the Army is asking for at least 60,000 new troops and $17 billion/year to repair and replace equipment. Troops are being called back with less time at home and staying longer once they're there. In addition, the Army is saying as a last resort they may summon more National Guard troops.

I haven't had time to gather as much information as I'd like. I listened to ABC news (some of it) and had time to find one Truthout article.

There's much more out there but my time is limited tonight. I'm waiting for a call from the hospital. The doctor wants to admit my husband once again; we're waiting for a bed.

I was just saying on my own blog how well he was doing lately and then added "one day at a time". I guess I was right with both statements.

While I'm waiting I'm watching the Saints on their first trip back to the Super Bowl . I'm hoping it's a symbol of something or maybe it's just another football game.
