Rummy Threated To Fire Anyone For Mentioning Post-War Plan

@ 06:28 PM (22 months, 19 days ago)

While the planning was underway for the Iraq war, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld apparently threatened to fire anyone in the Pentagon, who mentioned the need for a post-war plan for Iraq (known as Phase 4).

According to Salon.com, Brig. Gen. Mark Scheid, the retiring commander of the Army Transportation Corps, told Virginia's Daily Press: "The secretary of defense continued to push on us ... that everything we write in our plan has to be the idea that we are going to go in, we're going to take out the regime, and then we're going to leave."

Scheid said that he and his colleagues attempte to write what became known as a Phase 4 plan for Iraq.  Phase 4 was a plan for post-invasion operations, in the event that U.S. soldiers did not leave Iraq immediately after removing Sadaam Hussein from power.

He went on to say "I remember the secretary of defense saying that he would fire the next person that said that.  We would not do planning for Phase 4 operations, which would require all those additional troops that people talk about today. He said we will not do that because the American public will not back us if they think we are going over there for a long war."

  8. OK, so you’re looking for alternatives to surgical breast augmentation. You really want to enhance and/or enlarge your breasts out of dissatisfaction, feelings of inadequacy, or hey -maybe you just want to fill your clothes or your pretty bras out more alluringly! You, like many women are asking the question “do breast enhancement pills really work?” Larger breasts seem to the elusive object of desire for so many these days, especially with increasing numbers of women getting surgical breast augmentation, it’s almost become a status quo.

    But you are not looking for the round, unmoving, and sometimes very artificial look of breast implants. It used to be if you were in this boat, you were really just relegated to living with the breasts you had, and learning to like them. Well, now, with the advent of modern science and nutraceutical technology, there are some very viable and effective alternatives to surgical breast augmentation. So, that brings us to that same question, do breast enhancement pills really work?

  9. Breast Enhancement - Enhance Your Bust Size Naturally
    Women are always concern about beauty and physical appearance. Breast size is one factor that affects the physical appearance of most women. Women with big breasts are always regarded as sexy and adorable. In today's modern world women are more open to take the necessary steps to improve their appearance. If you are not satisfied with your breast size, there are ways on how to enhance your bust size and increase your self confidence.

    If you have small bust size, you are often the subject of teasing leading to low self-esteem. You feel insecure and do not feel good about yourself. The good news is that you do not have to feel bad about yourself and suffer all those teasing because you can do something to enhance your bust size.

    Although breast enhancement surgery or breast implants is a very common cosmetic surgery now, this is not the only way to enhance your bust size. Before taking the drastic steps of surgery which could have irreversible side effects, it is an option to try other methods to enhance bust size naturally.
