COOK: BRING OUR LADS HOME
Mar 30 2003
Let's send Rumsfeld and his hawks to war instead
By Robin Cook

This was meant to be a quick, easy war. Shortly before I resigned a
Cabinet colleague told me not to worry about the political fall-out.

The war would be finished long before polling day for the May local
elections.

I just hope those who expected a quick victory are proved right. I have
already had my fill of this bloody and unnecessary war. I want our
troops home and I want them home before more of them are killed.

...

Personally I would like to volunteer Rumsfeld, Cheney and Wolfowitz to
be "embedded" alongside the journalists with the forward units.
That would give them a chance to hear what the troops fighting for every
bridge over the Euphrates think about their promises.
