Democrats fighting their proxy war against our own commander-in-chief, as well as some weak-kneed Republicans, are calling for Donald Rumsfeld to resign as SecDef over the burgeoning Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal. This all in the name of "accountability." Blackfive has a view on that.
If anything, it's obvious that the whole chain of command should be indicted - possibly past the Brigade Commander (BG Karpinski) and up into Central Command. However, calling for Secretary Rumsfeld to step down over this is ridiculous. It's an Army matter. The buck stops with General Schoomaker, and I don't think he should step down. If anything, General Schoomaker is the one Soldier who can fix all of these problems by sticking his Corcoran Jump Boot so far up the culprits' rear-ends that they'll be able to taste the Kiwi shoe polish.Posted by Alan at May 7, 2004 08:55 PM
