If Rumsfeld goes, Bush is finished.
Rummy Salute! A man I really respect.
Get a clue, Fred.
We, the people, want Rumsfeld.
Enough said.
Rummy is sticking, like a fly on $hit.
Barnes, eat $hit...... 90,000,000 flies can't be wrong!
Fred's head is starting to look as inflated as buchanan's was before he disappeared from public view.
GW's first response would be who, what, when, where and what is going to be done about it. The answers to those questions were being worked out at the appropriate organizational level. I sure wouldn't go to my Commander with a problem without answers to those type questions.
And both of them know it.
Fred's been spending too much time with that little weasel billie kristol.
Rum is our War Minister. If we are done, if we definitely aren't going to thrust into Syria, or Iran, if North Korea isn't going to go critical on us, if we definitely ain't gonna war no more, then sure, let Rum return to a well-heeled retirement. Replace him with someone the Dems and the French and the Muslims would be happier with, so that they can finally relax and stop worrying what America is going to do next.
But do we really want the French and the Arabs to be that sure of what we will and won't do? Do we really want Kim Jong Il to get his nerve back? Do we want Bashir and the mullahs to feel free to get back to business as usual?
If so, let the Starched Uniforms take over, put Clark in the Sec Def's chair, send the rangers to artillery school, and cross-train the Seals as mechanics mates.
I'll feel better, though, if we leave the warriors in charge for at least a couple more election cycles.
'cuse me, should have said what the sam hill.
That is HIS problem, he worries about the politcal fallout and how to minimize it. Most of us want the President to do the RIGHT thing for the country, and HE has and will continue to do so EVEN if it means he loses the election. Politicos suck but as X42 proved, STYLE over SUBSTANCE wins the day.
If Rumsfeld is sacrificed, our enemies all over the world will rejoice. Bush had better hang tough.
hey GW -- I've got some dirty pictures I want to show you that no-one outside of the investigators conducting the Abu Ghraib court-martials has seen -- including me.
If you are old enough, do you recall anyone asking for the SecDef's head after My Lai?
I pray that President would never dismiss Rumsfeld. The Rats hate Rumsfeld but they are insignificant. When people think of the President, then they think of Rumsfeld too. That is the way I hope it goes into the election and we will win by a landslide.
Aside from the media and the Dems' being out and out fifth columnists - what really annoys me is these generals going on tv and saying that Rumsfeld should resign. I saw this McPeak guy (who I believe is a retired air force general) on John Gibson's show today saying that Rumsfeld should resign. When he said this, Gibson interrupted him and asked why Rumsfeld should resign for what these prison guards did. McPeak responded that Rumsfeld has said he is responsible so he has to go. I'll tell you, I wish I coulda been there to Q&A this guy cuz my next question would have been whether McPeak had ever had any enlisted guy under his command commit a crime. And if McPeak did have that happen did McPeak offer up his resignation? Somehow I suspect not.
