Rumsfeld does "good job"

Apparently George Bush thinks that Donald Rumsfeld has done a superb job.

Now, granted, Rumsfeld saw his "invasion lite" theory work (maimed children aside) in the initial days of "Operation Iraqi Cellmate^H^H^H^H Freedom." But no sooner had they overthrown Saddam's regime that Rumsfeld's folly was plain to all. The National Library was burned and Hammurabi's Code, the world's oldest laws, are still unaccounted for.

Insurgency, even inside the green zone, began within months, and the US has never had the manpower to fight it at a level of strength sufficient to impose order. Its so bad that only "limited sovereignty" will get passed on Karl Rove's June 30 date. And now, with news that the "Torture chambers and rape rooms" did not close with Saddam, but only came under new management, what liberation has in fact taken place?

The Abu Ghraib scandal is the direct descendant of the "brutality lite" mentality that arose with the whole concept of extra-legal detentions at Camp X-Ray. It is a personal legacy of Rumsfeld that he could have reasonably foreseen.

He has said that he is "accountable." Well - don't do the Janet Reno accountability game. Don't just take accountability with your words. Take it with your resignation!
