Another reason to get rid of him is that there won't be someone for the Dims to grill once the investigations begin after Jan. 20.

BTW, I think Rumsfeld should stay.

[McGavin999]

Oh, I'm sorry, you don't get a vote on that.

[balch3]

President Bush has already said Rummy stays. End of discussion.

[Penner]

Rumsfeld went against the advice of sound judgement from generals such as Shenseki and others who urged him to invade with at least as many boots on the ground (600,000) as was required in Gulf War I.

Yep.

And look where it got us.

Extra troops meant extra deaths. His program was a success. The failure was in trying to establish a democracy. This was Bush's fault. Rumsfeld did a great job.

[Alkhin]

Bite me, troll.

[D-fendr]

Your facts are wrong.

Your position is ignorant and wrong.

Other than that, good post.

[Finalapproach29er]

Who's going to pass democrat muster in the senate?

Rummy is staying.

An absolutely incredible statement. You obviously don't know how this will work.

In office or not Rumsfeld will be subpoenaed.

[bmwcyle]

OK I guess you Neville Chamberlain's have thrown in the towel. You all look like a bunch of animals on your sides looking submissive.

Anyone who thinks we need more boots on the ground really needs to read Tommy Franks "American Soldier". According to Franks, Bush and Rummy let the commanders do their job, with the resources that they asked for. Given the way Franks rights, I am most sure that if the CENTCOM commander had asked for more troops, they would have been delivered.

I for one find refreshing that Bush and Rummy are willing to let the Generals fight the war, and not try to fight themselves while sitting in Washington (LBJ/RNM).

It's too bad we didn't take Saddam out while he was in his spider hole. Or... too bad he hasn't been executed. His death would have brought a real measure of closure/progress to most voters, as far as the Iraq war is concerned.

[Doomonyou]

Good call.
