Rumsfeld was a civilian/politician...and part of the civilian micro management of the military...in addition to not being the sharpest knive in the drawer.
BTW...we defeated the Iraqi military and overthrew the government in 24 days...mission accomplished by our military...but for whatever the reasons the politicians decided to occupy the country and do nation building.
