Here is the full text of Rummy’s leaked memo. It’s short, to the point, and asks the right questions. I don’t see anything to be upset about, these are just the kinds of questions the boss ought to be asking. It reveals to me that he continues to be a serious person; even in the middle of a war that he must be thinking about tactically, he is able to step back and ask strategic questions. The liberal press is spinning it every which way, to the surprise of no one.
Is it "patriotic" to be asking these sorts of things? Can being "patriotic" actually be constructive, rather than, as so often claimed, simply blind and unquestioning obedience to the cause?
I can’t wait to hear how Michael Moore would spin this memo. Sieg Heil! :)
