I suppose it is one thing to have the NYT call for Dummy Rummy's resignation but now the Army Times is calling for his resignation in a to be published editorial on Monday.
To be sure, the Army times is not an "official" US Army publication but for anyone who has been in the Army you will know it is
"The Army Newspaper". They get better access, more information and more cooperation from the Army than just about any other publication except for maybe the Stars and Stripes.
While the article is not published yet, odds are it will follow in the footsteps of many Republicans who are now calling for the ouster of Rumsfeld due to incompetence. Some think Bush lied, most do not. Most agree that with the information available at the time, they made the correct decision (I do not believe that and never have - against it since day 1) but that decision to support the war was based on an assumption that we had competent Generals and civilian leaders like the SecDef. Clearly we did not and do not have competence at the top. That is why Rummy should go.
I have discussed this topic before concerning what the American Military can learn from the civilian world and that is: ACCOUNTABILITY (I posted about this here and here). If a business plan went as bad as this war, a CEO would be fired and that is when there is only money at stake. Here, we have lives at stake and there has yet to be any accountability.
