Clinton's SecDef took blame for not insisting on more equipment in
Somalia. He resigned.
Rummy should have had that much class in, say July 2005, when Iraq
when into the toilet for not enough occupying troops and the
consequential deaths of our kids.
Rummy had his own "Somolia "in Afghanistan. There was a .up where
a bunch of SpecOps people got in deep shit on a mountaintop and the
commander wanted helios and artillery to get them out. SpecOps troops
died, unnecessarily.
Rummy had limited the helos in Afganistan to a small number and had
nearly zero artillery, which the commanders on the ground wanted. He
also set up a parallel command chain that confused the decisionmaking
on that bad day.
The story is told in _Not a Good Day to Die: The Untold Story of
Operation Anaconda_ by Naylor.
Highly recommended.
Rummy should have resigned when we found out that he, or someone under
him lied about how Tillman, the football player, died in Afghanistan.
This administration has been one outrage after another
another when kept us from taking the time for exacting justice
for each one as it came along.
There will be a special place in hell for Rummy. I hope he sleeps well.
