By all accounts, this was not any new tactic. This was pure political interference at the tactical level, and it is entirely improper.

Okay, you've hit the nail, but (I think) called it a screw. I'm guessing that the political interference didn't originate with Rummy. Our best and earliest hope for getting out is a built-up and accomplished Iraqi force, and I'm guessing that we were pushing for them to fix this problem, too early and without enough notice.
