Incompetence, not crassness, is the resigning matter
21 December 2004


Among Donald Rumsfeld's many sins of omission and commission, his use of a machine to sign letters of condolence to the families of soldiers killed in Iraq may not be the most heinous. It is, of course, a public relations catastrophe, as Mr Rumsfeld appreciates. His immediate and very public promise to sign all such letters personally from now on shows a keen awareness of the damage done. Some 1,300 signatures over 20 months - the time that the US has been engaged in Iraq - would hardly have required the defence secretary to notch up multiple hours of overtime.

1. Republican talking points are steering away from incompetence

The problem is the incompetence of the administrations policy and lack of planning or listening to critics. It is not just Rumsfeld and it certainly isn't only a lack of his communication skills.

2. you are right--they--the administration does NOT listen to outsiders!!

unless of course it is an industry!!

3. Is crassness not but a shield behind which to hide arrogant incompetence?
