The lamestream media told you:
Donald Rumsfeld was fired, or resigned, or replaced, or removed, because of failed foreign policy in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
The Secretary of Defense is responsible for killing the enemy and breaking things. The Secretary of State and political advisors such as Karl Rove are the ones who are responsible for policy. Rumsfeld carried out the policies. Why isn’t Condie Rice the scapegoat? The Army under Rumsfeld did a darn good job of killing the enemy and breaking things, even though there’s plenty of enemy left to be killed, and stuff left to break. [Thank Craig for this insight.]
