It appears to me, and I'm not sure that I even qualify as a casual observer here, that Mr. Rumsfield has percieved the nature of the conflicts that we are currently facing and made some valuable adjustments.
I have no idea how you engage a stateless enemy, if Mr. Rumsfield doesn't he has at least positioned some very capable people who do. He also seems to be adept at listening to their advice.
Mr. Rumsfield seems to me to be very good at thinking on his feet. Taking the heat when he needs to and adapting as the situation(s) demand.
I like his straight forwardness.
Abu Gharib and the Shiite upraisings and some very critical portions of the 9/11 report have put a lot of heat and bright light on him and he has responded with grace.
He has taken the heat and let responsible people do their jobs and so far it is working. Isn't that what good leadership is?
