End of Days?
The Army's budgetary squeeze raises questions about whether the
United States can 'stay the course' in Iraq--even if Washington
wants to.
Web-Exclusive Commentary
By Michael Hirsh
Newsweek
Perhaps the most truthful moment about Iraq came recently when a U.S.
official said nothing at all.
This occurred when Army Chief of Staff Peter Schoomaker was asked at a
Capitol Hill luncheon in mid-July whether the United States was
"winning" in Iraq.
Several agonizing seconds passed before a grimacing Schoomaker finally
replied:
"I don't think we're losing."
One of the most eloquent pauses in recent memory, it gave voice to the
U.S. military's most deep-seated fears not only about Iraq, but about
America's entire strategic position in the Mideast.
The general's honesty has not made Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld
happy, military officials tell NEWSWEEK.
The temperamental Rumsfeld erupted at Schoomaker after the general
revealed the Army's lack of readiness in painful detail to the House
Armed Services Committee.
"I remain concerned about the serious demands we face," Schoomaker said
in asking Congress for $17 billion in an emergency appropriation.
The ranking Democrat member of that committee, Rep. Ike Skelton, cited
Schoomaker's blunt honesty in a letter he wrote to President Bush
last week.
"When I asked General Schoomaker in recent testimony if he was
comfortable with the readiness level for the non-deployed units located
within the continental United States, he simply answered no," said
Skelton.
Equipment like tanks and Humvees are badly worn down after three years
in the sand and heat, and the Army is cannibalizing units still based
in the United States.
It is also asking soldiers to prepare for third overseas deployments in
a row, which many fear could trigger an exodus of professionals.
