The Verbatim section of the lastest issue of Time is instructive, and at least helps me believe that the generals aren't interested in defending Rumsfeld.
"Anyone with an ounce of sense would see that it's the opposite" - Rumsfeld on the charge that the troops are over-stretched.
The next day:
"The forces are stretched, I don't think there's any question to that." - General George Casey, commander of US forces in Iraq.
