WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two more retired U.S. generals called for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to resign on Thursday, claiming the chief architect of the
Iraq war and subsequent American occupation should be held accountable for the chaos there.
Six retired generals have now called for Rumsfeld to step down, including two who spoke out on Thursday.
Retired Marine Corps Gen. Anthony Zinni told CNN Rumsfeld should be held responsible for a series of blunders, starting with "throwing away 10 years worth of planning, plans that had taken into account what we would face in an occupation of Iraq."
But at the White House, the 73-year-old Rumsfeld drew unflinching support. "Yes, the president believes Secretary Rumsfeld is doing a very fine job during a challenging period," White House spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters.
My comments:
Yes, Bush - Keep digging that hole deeper - Fine Job Rumsfeld - Keep up the good work - Just like Brownie.
Throwing away 10 years of planning -
Yeah, the CEO Defense Secretary - Rumsfeld knows better than all the generals put together - ha.
Great news reporting for a change - but
at the end they always have to add the standard White House spin -
There are thousands of Generals.
But those thousands of Generals can't really talk; Until they retire they need to save their own ass, by kissing ass, so they can keep their lifelong benefits.
