episode 75 Premiering April 21, 2006 Guests: commentator Heather Higgins, Gen. Anthony Zinni, editor/publisher Mortimer Zuckerman, sports commentator Stephen A. Smith, and Rep. Rahm Emanuel Rumsfeld to Go? "You know what I don't understand? Why does the military love Bush? I never understand. It's such a dysfunctional, abusive relationship. It's like a husband who beats up his wife, and she comes back for more. This guy is not good to the troops. He doesn't give them the armor they need. He doesn't send them where they should be fighting. I don't get it." Bill Maher "The dirty word was the 'O' word, 'occupation.' What we realized is if you're going to go in - and I'll use Secretary Powell's analogy - if you're going to break it, you're going to own it; if you're going to own it; you better control it, especially in that environment. If you don't control it, you're going to bring in all the festering problems, and the snakes are going to come out from under the rocks. We knew that for ten years, and that was dismissed as too negative a set of assumptions." Gen. Anthony Zinni "Our military has performed magnificently, going in with a bad plan, a bad strategy, poor assumptions, poor decision-making on reconstruction; beaming in exiles from outside that had no credibility; a whole series of things that they had to bear with, including the lack of the appropriate number of troops to secure what they needed to secure in there. And they've been the 'stuck-ees' in this problem. The mistakes have not been military on the ground, by and large." Gen. Anthony Zinni Defense Sec. has no plans to quit Bush & Hu "I don't think that we have to worry about being number one, vis-à-vis China. I mean, it's one - it's easy to just extrapolate 10% a year forever. But the Chinese have huge problems in that country. And I don't think they're anywhere close to being a threat to us on the scale that is implied by that. They are a country in the throes of rapid change. But, you know, you have to look at it this way: their total economy is $2 trillion. Ours is 11. They have five times the number of people that we have, and we have five times the size of the economy. They've got a long, long way to go. And they've got huge problems."
