Senator Clinton: War Expert?

Apparently Senator Clinton wants Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld to resign. Says Clinton:

"I just don't understand why we can't get new leadership that would give us a fighting chance to turn the situation around before it's too late. I think the president should choose to accept Secretary Rumsfeld's resignation."

"The secretary has lost credibility with the Congress and with the people. It's time for him to step down and be replaced by someone who can develop an effective strategy and communicate it effectively to the American people and to the world."

Of course, this is politics and nothing more. Senator Clinton only thinks that our Iraq policy is failing because it's President Bush's policy, and she's gearing up for mid-term elections. Senator Clinton has no background in warfare or campaigning or strategy or tactics, she wasn't in the military, she wasn't married to someone in the military.

It's not Secretary Rumsfeld's job to be popular or communicate with the American people; that's Tony Snow's job. Secretary Rumsfeld's job is to use the
resources and guidelines that he's given, give the commanders in the field the support that they request, and defend the country. Given the horrendous constraints that he's under due to politics as usual from Senator Clinton and her cronies, I personally think he's done an admirable job.

How Hillary Clinton got elected in the first place is beyond me. She has no credibility whatsoever, and most of her rhetoric is completely transparent. Then again, it's New Yorkers we're dealing with...
