Memo to Senate.

The Raw Story | Generals to blast 'incompetent' Rumsfeld before Senate hearing:

"Donald Rumsfeld is not a competent wartime leader. He knows everything, except 'how to win.’ He surrounds himself with like-minded and compliant subordinates who do not grasp the importance of the principles of war, the complexities of Iraq, or the human dimension of warfare. Secretary Rumsfeld ignored 12 years of U.S. Central Command deliberate planning and strategy, dismissed honest dissent, and browbeat subordinates to build 'his plan,' which did not address the hard work to crush the insurgency, secure a post-Saddam Iraq, build the peace, and set Iraq up for self-reliance."

Now that you ask.
