CNN) -- An editorial to be published Monday in independent publications that serve the four main branches of the U.S. military will call for President Bush to replace Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
"Basically, the editorial says, it's clear now, from some of the public statements that military leaders are making, that he's lost the support and respect of the military leadership," said Robert Hodierne, senior managing editor for the publications' parent company Army Times Publications.

Please note that the ARMY TIMES is not calling for his resignation. An EDITORIAL within the times is calling for his resignation.
Big difference there, and once again, a VERY F'n MISLEADING article title from CNN.
More (bleeping) Gannett.
They give no reason for their current call. Is it still Abu Ghraib? If so, that's a lousy reason.
My point is it's going to get splashed all over the news all week-end, and they knew it would happen. It's the top story on CNN.com right now, and the top "in the news" story on MSNBC.com right now. All week-end long. Nobody running for election has anything to do with Rumsfield staying or going. It's the President's call. This editorial is about influencing the election. The circulation is 250,000, but it is distributed throughout the bases, PX'es etc. The day before the election.
Well, that clears it up.
Sure. That's like saying the New York Times didn't endorse Hillary Clinton. An EDITORIAL in the New York Times endorsed Hillary Clinton. Editorials are an expression of the publisher's opinion. Their opinion forms the paper's position.
How does this happen under Rumsfeld? What the heck is really going on in Defense?
Note my post above. There is something rotten going on over there in those offices!!
Senior editor of the whole publication says this. Shows its the sentiment of more than one op-ed writer.
BTW, this editorial will appear in all four papers. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force Times. They are all owned by Gannett, published as seperate papers same ownership group though.
Everyone should follow my lead here...I have pledged NOT TO WATCH CNN or MSNBC this weekend. I don't need to listen to their 24/7 propaganda declaring the Democrats will SWEEP this election. I don't believe it! So, I'm going to put some really nice music on for the day and enjoy the wonderful weather. Screw CNN and MSNBC! They're really only preaching to their Choir anyway!
The left despises the military. Pure and simple.
How about never watching them? That's what a lot of people have done.
CNN and the libs outlet news are very very treathened by Rummy....
All the more to keep him where he is...makes the libs sweat.....(snicker, snicker)
Man, the DBM is pulling out all the stops, aren't they.
If they're this desperate now, get your seat belts on early, because 2008 is going to be the wildest ride we've seen in modern history.

I hope everyone has noticed that in the latest edition of Vanity Fair, the leading neoconservatives are officially running for the Iraq exits (convenient, four days before the election, eh?), not blaming themselves for the concept of the Iraq War of course, but blaming President Bush and Rumsfeld for putting their plan into effect. I would imagine that they will be in the offices of the House Democratic majority the day after the election, transformed into "neoliberals" and damning the conservative Republicans.
You got mail.
