Jeff, This is in response to Wesley Clark's statement that Rumsfeld's poor planning put troops at risk:

I wrote about their military theater training last September in a now defunct newsletter. Rumsfeld had warnings of the conflict in the military strategy by retired military personnel back in the summer of 2002 . Their strategy training was in fact, ineffective & flawed, as you will read in the following excerpt from the newsletter....

 

Lt Gen. Paul Van Riper further explained, "The most elaborate war game the U.S. military has ever held was rigged so that it appeared to validate the modern, joint-service war-fighting concepts it was supposed to be testing."

MC02: Pentagon Leaders Defend War Game

 

 

"The Pentagon's top leaders on Tuesday defended a $250 million war game designed to test new tactics and equipment in battles with terrorist states, insisting that the just-completed exercise was not rigged to produce a victory by 'friendly' forces. 'The money was well spent. And I'm sure we'll learn lessons that will make it better spent next time,' Marine Gen. Peter Pace, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters. But another Marine, retired Lt. Gen. Paul Van Riper, said 'the exercise was entirely scripted' and that he stepped aside as commander of the 'Red' or opposition force in Millennium Challenge 2002 after four days rather than continuing to participate under those circumstances."

I would provide you with the original link to this info-but the internet has erased this.

 

One other link for the info is on a secured site, but you can read excerpts from it here:

...a couple of Months back. General Van Riper Commanding the simulated Iraqi Forces was able to defeat the U.S. Invasion Force. Because this was an "unacceptable" result he was forced to back up and lose. At which point he called it a charade and quit the "War Games".

The Bush Cabal lies even to itself.
