Monopoly Power and Rumsfeld

Well I'd like to comment on the latest news surrounding Secratery of Defense Rumsfeld and especially how it's related to monopoly power as despite all these bad reputation he is keeping his place in the cabinet. I just came acroos this article as the shortage of armor for the troops in Iraq has also been documented by Congress statistics. Also it has been announced that President Bush has nominated former New York City Police cimmisionar Bernard Kerik for the Homeland Securit Secretary which is another defense related department So obviously even in a time when the President is changing his crew some people like Rumsfeld still keep their place and their monoploy power. First of all the fact that even the statistics released from official government departments proves the theory that output of the Buero is extremely hard to measure. The number of people who have to authrity to evaluate what the Buero is doing and act upon it is really small. Even when these peopel decide that the Bueru needs reform and decide to act upon it they have the burden of responsibilty on them about wheather the person they replace the current one with will be better. In Rumsfeld's case I believe President Bush was hesistant to change him since although Rumsfeld may be critisized a lot, he is the one right know that has the most information about war in Iraq and the current situation over there. Therefore there's no gurantee that if he had been replcaed his succesor would do a better job than him. This sheds light on to another side of the monopoly power of the Bueros. Although the Buero might be really inefficent in what it does if it gets the job done even very poorly authorities don't take the risk of reforming it. They hesitate that the replacement may even not get any of the work done. The fact that President bush has replaced the Homeland Security Secratery proves that Bush himself may not be that happy with the country's defense related polities. In this case the fact that Rumsfeld keeps his place in the cabinet also proves that the link between Legislators and Bueros is not very efficient.
