Is it persuasive to you that the only high-ranking voice willing to counter Rummy and Wolfy was replaced as soon as he countered Rummy and Wolfy?
Is it persuasive to you that our military leadership changed a great deal to the point where lo-and-behold, only people who agreed with Gen. Rummy and Gen. Wolfy were put in charge of things?
Hyperbole maybe, but what did happen to Shinseki?
Armchair QB my ass. Rummy whacked the first dissenter, looked around the leadership ranks, and said "who else disagrees with me"? Franks was the first one to step up and say "Not Me".
