Rumsfeld wanted to resign for years. Bush wouldn't let him. Face it, when you are in your 70's you don't want to work 16 hour days. A few Supreme Court justices should also retire.

Yep I don't know how he did it

I am 70 and in good shape but I wouldn't want to have to work 8 hour days

Exactly, Rummy is fantastic guy for his age or for anyone's age. I could sense that he had accomplished most of what GWB sent him there for, was tired of the crappola from the cut and run scairdy cat, girly men, anti American Rats and DBM. Gates will never command the kind of respect that Rummy has from either the Troops or people like Freepers. He better start getting all his ducks in a row, he will need them with the Pond Scum DBM waiting to jump him if he does something they don't like. David Gregory and his ilk think they are superior, but in the back of their mind they know they do not measure up to real men like Rummy and GWB, Cheney.

How do you know? I've heard things like this on Free Republic, and I wonder what the source is.
