Well this story has feature on Blogdex a lot over the last couple of days but hasn’t really hit the mainstream media that much at all and that surprises me as I think it’s a pretty damning indictment of Rumsfeld and the other neo-con’s policy for the War on Terror. Basically this memo was leaked by someone in the Pentagon. The memo was clearly intended for only high-ranking individuals but now everyone knows that even Rumsfeld doesn’t know “Are we winning or losing the Global War on Terror?”. Wow the guy in charge can’t even figure that out. We’re asked to trust blindly that the US knows what’s best for dealing with Global Terror when even they themselves don’t know! I can’t figure how he’s not under more pressure from this but somehow he isn’t. A bit like how everyone has forgotten about the ‘outed’ CIA agent isn’t it.

The questions I posed to combatant commanders this week were: Are we winning or losing the Global War on Terror? Is DoD changing fast enough to deal with the new 21st century security environment? Can a big institution change fast enough? Is the USG changing fast enough?
