The some sayers

Who except James Wolcott could write this and get away with it:
"Donald Rumsfeld, whose Steely Resolve more and more resembles aluminum siding, is a man unafraid of confronting the full spectrum of America's enemies from Al Qaeda to Amnesty International. Some say he is too zealous in defending our freedom. Too candid. Too cocksure. Too unwilling to accept counsel and criticism. Too wedded to his overriding vision of military transformation. Those some sayers are right."
Wolcott goes on to quote Antiwar.com's William Lind "under Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, the U.S. armed forces have . . . been taken over by "wreck it and run" management. When Rumsfeld leaves office, what will his successor inherit? A volunteer military without volunteers . . . The world's largest pile of wrecked and worn-out military equipment . . . A military tied down in a strategically meaningless backwater, Iraq, to the point where it can't do much else . . . Commitments to hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of future weapons programs that are militarily as useful as Zeppelins but less fun to watch . . . [and] a lost war."
