Field Marshall Dowd

The Weekly Standard's website carries a short piece from the AEI. A Map, a Watch, and a Compass, says Tom Donnelly, is all you need to see how we're doing.
"Poor Rumsfeld. In checking with Tommy Franks, JCS Chairman Gen. Richard Myers, the National Security Council, and a few other civilians--like President Bush, the commander in chief--he neglected to run his war plan past either the New York Times or New Yorker editorial boards. The attack orders were never even fully briefed to the staffs of television rent-a-generals. My goodness, as the secretary might say, even the international neoconservative conspiracy was left somewhat in the dark."
