Not well written but provides some interesting detail on the Pentagon's inner workings.

| Re: A tough read but a view from the inside... Very simple. An extremist left-wing radical with an axe to grind.
Lets see, an extremist neolib web site, an extremist neolib writer.
Article fails to mention (and actually lies about her position) that she worked nine months in the office of Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith starting in May 2002. A position where she would never gain access to the "insight" and "knowledge" that she professes to have. The article makes one believe that she worked for Rumsfeld. She never did.
She doesn't know ****.
She was floating by her last couple years 'till retirement. She wanted out immediatley, but was asked to fill in a position that really didn't require much. She is getting her 15 minutes of fame - in extremist circles - by writing this crap.
Why are none of the mainstream media outlets - especially the left biased CNN, MSNBC, etc. harping on this? Because they took the five minutes one needs to uncover her crap.
She is worse than Ann Coulter in that she writes fully biased unsubstantiated crap.
Go ahead and believe her, it suits everything that you have posted so far.

I took the blinders off the story, and posted the truth about the author. She is a phony. You can't handle that truth, therefore baselessly attacked me...........again. If you are gonna say I have blinders on about the story, at least substantiate your stupid claims.
Who has the blinders on? |

Espescially so when the future of our country is at stake.  |
