There are 8,000+ Generals retired and active duty in our military. Six of them want Rumsfeld to quit. At what point do we say whoop-dee-doo?
He does micro-manage, interfere with decisions made by subordinates, plays rough, is obnoxious and overbearing. He is also brilliant, obsessively patriotic and hard-working, and the last person bin Laden wants as Secratary of Defense. No one else makes the enemy fear for their lives........period.......
Can you imagine what the next Secretary of Defense confirmation hearings would be like? Rumsfeld better stay for the duration, if we're lucky.
These are the people Rumsfeld was ordered to use bug spray on by Bush.
Rummy will be there until Jan 2009. He is not leaving. Bush is not going to fire him. The rest of this PR stunt is just a Junk Media self abuse hissy fit.
