No. People believe that Rumsfeld is the reason we are losing the war, and have a pathetic policy (is there a policy) toward Iraq. However, it is much more likely that he is really following Bush's lead. So, if you have a problem with our military leadership, you really have to get rid of Bush. (That will take two more years).
The real problem with the current administration is that it seems to have only people with the same basic political views. Bush has no counterpoints to the Hawk view. Compare this, for example, to Carter (who was a liberal, with liberl Casper Weinberger as his secretary of defense), or even Bush term one (where he had Colin Powel as his secretary of defense. Powll usually tried to advocate diplomacy. This was followed (after Powell's resignation), by Condi Rice (who is a pro-war hawk) in secretary of state position, and Bolton (who believes in getting rid of the UN) as the UN ambassador. There are no counter-points to the very conservative views, and, frankly, there is no way that Bush can change his policies if nobody has an alternative view. Only if Rumsfeld will be replaced by a better SecDefense would his removal be helpfult -- do you really have any confidence that this would happen?

I see bigotry continues to be alive interior the land of the "loose" and the domicile of the "brave". won't be able to think of why somebody on the receiving end of all those niceties might desire to declare "god damn u . s . a . of america" or "i'm ultimately pleased with my u . s . a .". of direction, shall we be nervous that Obama will take "our" money and use it to help the country. i could discover that extra suited than utilising my youngster's not yet earned money to combat a conflict in Iraq, it is the place we at the instant are. i locate that the folk who're against Obama are dominantly the two closet or overt bigots (shall we call a spade a spade, shall we?) or human beings who prefer to maintain what they have than help the country and those around us who've much less, which interior the fast and long-term helps the country. a minimum of, those are the arguments that reverberate maximum strongly. I even have, for an prolonged time, had my doubts approximately Obama's potential to handbook and shortage of sturdy software, however the extra I hear the arguments of those against him, the extra i'm confident that he's exactly what the country desires. through fact the bigots and the grasping have destroyed the pleasing promise of the u . s . a ., and allowing them to proceed to attain this will basically hasten the top of that promise. i don't anticipate him to be a great president, yet I do anticipate to be certain him attempt to alter the risky guidelines that the country has taken over the final numerous many years, and that, to me, can basically be an progression. the country is definitely and clearly not moving interior the main appropriate direction.

Many just seem to close their eyes to the fact that we have an enemy determined to destroy not just Israel but the US as well. We need people like him willing to do the hard and sometimes dirty work
Those who are in it for show will ruin us. He puts the safety of the US above what peop;e think of him. Militant Islam will not stop or bargain. We have an enemy that can only be stopped by using superior power and we need those willing to do it. Our enemy's would love to see him go.

It will cause he didn't do anything to stop the Abu Ghraib scandals and he is better replaced with someone who knows how to make fewer enemies.

Better for the country. Better for the armed forces. Better for any military effort. Better for the stature of America in the world.
