I've heard the talk from many, such as Zinni calling for Rumsfeld's head, but haven't really understood why. Although I had heard/read about his notion of fighting a war with few ground troops.

This week's New Yorker has an excellent article "The Lesson of Tal Afar". The author spent a significant amount of time in the city discovering what has occurred that allows for the city to be used as a success story by Bush.

He basically uncovers a situation that is, while not a complete success, far better then other area's in Iraq. And it is in spite of the Administration and those chosen to lead in Iraq, not because of.

The article headline on the cover is "How Donald Rumsfeld's failure to understand the insurgency has prevented the miltary from getting it right in Iraq".

And today we also have Libby anouncing that leaked information was personally approved by the Pres.

I'm still trying to understand why some agree that the amount of money to investigate Clinton is called for. And there is no reason to investigate the current pres.
