Rumsfeld did a bunch of softball interviews with red radio today. It's like a Hollywood star doing press for a summer movie. I found this particular exchange amusing.

GILL: One of the things that we're hearing so much these days is a lot of Monday morning quarterbacking.

You've used the term fog of war in describing ... that the best laid plans sometimes have to be changed based upon the circumstances in combat. Why don't these people get that?

SECRETARY RUMSFELD: I suppose a couple of reasons, maybe. Maybe they don't read history.

I suppose the other reason; a lot of those folks are trying to peddle books they've written.

Why don't you people get that? It's so simple. If even the best laid plans have to be changed on the fly, why waste time making plans? Just get in there, already!

And speaking of books, why can't I pick up Zarqawi's latest book at Borders? Or that novel Saddam was writing? Why is that? At least put them up on Lulu or something.

... it's much more difficult to go after networks and a network of networks ...

I think maybe he's getting his GIG mixed up with his GWOT.
