Good question. I have been having doubts very recently. The answers out of the WH are not satisfying to me. I also wonder about the tacky firing of Rumsfeld, the day after the election.

Rummy was NOT fired....he resigned.

Twice before he'd tried to resign and was talked out of it.

This time it was evident the left were going after his jugular with everything they could invent, so for his sake, the Presidents and everyone else involved his resignation was excepted.

If he'd been fired, do you think for one minute he'd still be giving the orders as he is today and will be until Gates has been confirmed and takes over?
