    Rumsfield/Rambo both start with "R" -- coincidence?

    From the emphasis most authors place on Rummy going in with never-sufficiently-small-enough American force, some might conclude that Rummy's idea was to send one troop only to win the war against Iraq.

    The problem with this plan is there is only one Rummy and he's just too valuable to send to Iraq to do that job -- we'll just have to be satisfied with the 140,000 we sent to do this one man's job!
