Why did 80% have to die?

yes, it's the right question but, for god's sake, why the hell are we having to ask it in the first goddam place...?
President Bush: Why does Donald Rumsfeld STILL have his job?

If Abu Ghraib wasn't enough -- why isn't negligence on the job that has resulted in many deaths?

The New York Times has acquired a secret Pentagon study showing that had appropriate body armor been distributed to military personnel, 80% of Marines who died from upper body wounds might have survived.

[...]

Rumsfeld believes -- like Robert McNamara once did -- that he is one of the nation's best "managers." He cleary has failed on so many management fronts that his self-confidence is delusion, but each of these manifestations of his failure need to be heard by the nation.

After the President's State of the Union address, which may be January 31st, Bush needs to retire Rumsfeld.

why do ANY of those s.o.b.'s still have their jobs and why can't we get 'em out, like yesterday...?
