I remember on Monday a post saying Rummy had mobilized the Military
Edited on Fri Sep-02-05 07:02 AM by Toots
for this disaster and many including myself asked the question 'Isn't that the job of the President?" If Rummy did in fact do that, what happened to them. Did someone override Rummy's decision and put a halt to that activation? IMO Rummy made the right call but it wasn't his job to do so. I have not heard another word about it though.

1. The military is always activated however the president can
activate the organized militia, i.e. the National Guard and Reserves.
