'Major adjustment'
I doubt Donald Rumsfeld's call for a 'major adjustment' in Iraq will ever rank up there with classic understatements such as 'major malfunction,' etc. But his final belated acknowledgement of failure will be remembered. ... I also liked his 'go minimalist' remark when it comes to lowering expectations about Iraq. Isn't that what the Baker commission is all about? ... Final note: Notice how there's no grand macro-strategy outlined by Rumsfeld. It's all micro-tactical suggestions. The guy was a disaster. ...
