Retired General and former NATO Commander Wesley Clark has joined six other retired generals in calling for the resignation or otherwise ouster of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. This brings the number to seven (unless I missed something while I was sleeping today, and the number is even higher.) It is time for the administration to wake up and smell the shitstorm brewing all around them.
"I believe secretary Rumsfeld hasn't done an adequate job. He should go,"
General Wesley Clark told Fox News Channel in an interview. Clark said Rumsfeld and Vice President Dick Cheney had pushed the United States into a war with Iraq tht "had no connection" with the war on terror"."They pressed for this, they pressed for open warfare before the diplomacy was
finished," said the retired general and Fox News analyst.
"It was a tragic mistake, a strategic blunder."
Asked whether it was appropriate to comment on the defense secretary's
performance while the United States is at war, Clark replied: "It's more than an
appropriate time. This country needed a better policy from the 2001 period on."
