"We gave him our best military advice..."

At least one retired General doesn't believe that Rumsfeld should be fired. After hearing all week the complaints of several former Generals involved in the planning process for war in Iraq, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Richard B. Myers had this to say yesterday on ABC's This Week:

"We gave him our best military advice and I think that's what we're obligated to do," Myers said on "This Week" on ABC. "If we don't do that, we should be shot."

A half-dozen retired generals have called for Rumsfeld's ouster, citing mistakes in the conduct of the war in Iraq. Some have suggested that intimidation by Rumsfeld kept military leaders quiet even when they thought policies were flawed.

"You'd have to believe that everybody in the chain of command is intimidated, and I don't believe that," Myers said. He added that Rumsfeld allowed "tremendous access" for presenting arguments.

"In our system, when it's all said and done ... the civilians make the decisions," he said. "And we live by those decisions."
