| Quote: | "In my view it is time for a major adjustment," wrote Rumsfeld, who has been a symbol of a dogged stay-the-course policy. "Clearly, what U.S. forces are currently doing in Iraq is not working well enough or fast enough."
Nor did he seem confident that the administration would readily develop an effective alternative. To limit the political fallout from shifting course, he suggested that the administration consider a campaign to lower public expectations.
"Announce that whatever new approach the U.S. decides on, the U.S. is doing so on a trial basis," he wrote. "This will give us the ability to readjust and move to another course, if necessary, and therefore not 'lose.'" "Recast the U.S. military mission and the U.S. goals (how we talk about them) - go minimalist," he added. |

Lovely aint it? Dead soldiers-billions of dollars wasted EVERY month for YEARS...and every time someone with different views said it was going sour-they got shot down as kooky. 
Now it turns out the Kookies are right  ...and how do the Right wing nuts act?  Like 'oh boy! i have a new idea-how about troop withdrawal or a different approach'-goodness what morons. 
Iraqui people never wanted and still dont want demockercy ...all said b4..man o man..it'd be funny if lives and dollars werent tossed away like chaff...
