I agree with you on this. Bush should have fired Rummy a long time ago. It is the reason the Republicans lost so mightily!

I disagree. They lost so badly because the MSM portrayed the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld conduct of the war as a losing effort. Facts be damned.

Rumsfeld just either got thrown under the bus, or he decided he wasn't going to be able to continue to execute that strategy, and didn't want to be standing in front of the train wreck that is coming.

I agree. And the soundbite fed of America gobble up every bit of it.

If Rumsfeld wasn't there, the media and liberals would have attacked someone else.
