I was thrown by Rumsfeld's remarks the other day that the plan was General Franks' creation -- he emphasized it a couple of times in speaking with reporters after a meeting with Congressional leaders. I assume he was responding to potential criticism that the force numbers were not what military experts had said were necessary, but it came off sounding more as if he was trying to establish a little space between himself and Franks.

I do concede it's probably a mistake to make too much of one remark from a man who is notoriously impatient with questions from reporters.


Ever heard of the term, "Fallguy"?
