MoDo gets it!
Sound off: Where the views and opinions of our staff and others are expressed on various topics that relate to Bush: "WASHINGTON -- When Donald Rumsfeld was 10, his operating principle, as described by his dad, was: 'If it doesn't go easy, force it.' Not much has changed in the last 63 years. Goodness, gracious! Will that dadburn Rummy ever follow any of his own rules?
Rumsfeld's Rules offer many wise axioms that Washington's most famous infighter is ignoring as he engages in the Mother of All Infighting Battles against rebellious generals.
One rule advises: 'Preserve the president's options. He may need them.' Others include 'It is easier to get into something than to get out of it' and 'Try to make original mistakes, rather than needlessly repeating' the mistakes of your predecessors.
History will long dwell on how America made the same bloody errors in Vietnam and Iraq within a generation, trading the arrogant, obtuse, wire-rimmed Robert McNamara for the arrogant, obtuse, wire-rimmed Donald Rumsfeld. "
