Rummy memo a plant...?

I must say, I've been suspicious of the Rumsfeld memo from the start. This guy makes sense:

That memo wasn't leaked, it was obviously planted. Why? Well here are a few reasons I believe:

- The administration obviously knows they are losing the war on terrorism and so now they are setting up their excuses. How else are they going to try to explain why there are still so many terrorists?

- They are trying to prepare the American mentality to expect long drawn out occupations in both Iraq and Afghanistan as necessary evils.

- It makes Rumsfeld look like he is doing his job, but that the Department of Defense is a large difficult bureaucracy to manage (shift the blame).

- It plants the seed for the possible development of a new branch of defense designed by the White House.

- It paves the way for them to take more "necessary" aggressive measures.
