6 retired generals have come out against Donald Rumsfeld? What’s my response to that?

It’s, “so what?”

There are 4700 retired general officers in the US and if there were 7 times as many of them complaining publicly about Rumsfeld right now, they wouldn’t make up 1% of the total.

This is a story that should have been buried on A-14 and then forgotten about and, quite frankly, if a Democrat were in office instead of Bush, you can be sure that this story would have been given the inattention it so richly deserves.

That’s all I have to say about it because that’s all the buzz this piddly and insignificant story deserves.
