Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Thursday called on Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld to resign, hours after excoriating him at a public hearing over what she called "failed policy" in Iraq.

"I just don't understand why we can't get new leadership that would give us a fighting chance to turn the situation around before it's too late," the New York Democrat and potential 2008 presidential contender said in an interview with The Associated Press. "I think the president should choose to accept Secretary Rumsfeld's resignation."

"The secretary has lost credibility with the Congress and with the people," she said. "It's time for him to step down and be replaced by someone who can develop an effective strategy and communicate it effectively to the American people and to the world."

Rumsfeld's answers back at Hillary was a complete bitch slapping.

That's not the way I heard it.

--to be worried about menial, trivial things like terrorism or national security.

Yes, and he was not worried about it. He was more concerned with NOT doing anything about it, including grabbing OBL as well as hamstringing the FBI, CIA, NSA, to say nothing of reducing our military by about 40% over his tenure. A typical anti-American, anti-military socialist with all his own personal problems of narcissim, crime, treason, felonious perjury, and somehow generating the longest list of dead confidants in history....a real pile of trash that, God help us, actually lived in our White House.

You are right on. Hillary's voice if she spoke unscripted would be a screeeeech.She needed to use her -I am going to be President- voice and not stray from that. Sickening. The MSM just is playing her and only Rummy's relaxed reply. I tell you I really think with the MSM on the Dem's side and all the radio interruptions of ABC News doing the same thing -the Dem's are yelling louder to America than we are.

Back in the day Hill could have gotten away with this. Rummy's answers will get play thanks to the new media.

Did you know that both Bill & Hill are Grammy Award winners for reading their own books onto audio book? Tell me that wasn't orchestrated by all their Hollywood friends.

Islam is a Satanic cult. It's most basic teachings are synonomous with evil.

She knows she can't be elected if she appeals only to the Upper West Side and Berkeley voters.

Thanks to the Founding Fathers who wisely gave us the Electoral College (which Her Heinous would like to abolish).

Never forget.

Any Religion that would encourage their people to strap a bomb on their keyster is an evil religion.

72 virgins? Don't tell Bill Clinton.
That is just a joke. You got nothing to worry about. Bill likes professionals.

Looks like Hillary has been watching to much Hardball with Chris Mathews.
