Posted by ESC on September 26, 2002
LEANING FORWARD - " 'Leaning
forward' is one of Donald Rumsfeld's favorite expressions. An old cold-war term,
familiar to soldiers and spies, it means the willingness to be aggressive, to
take risks. 'I want every one of you to know how forward-leaning we are,' the
secretary of Defense told a room full of Marine generals and Navy admirals." Newsweek,
Sept. 16, 2002.
