No, Rummy resigned because he was a lighting rode for all the demoagogary on Iraq. By resigning he allowed he changed the media template from all negative on Iraq all the time to “get Rummy” to something that does allow the occassional balanced peice thru.
Rummy put the good of the country in front of his ego or his personal political opinions Something the screaming lunatic Know Nothings on the Right, doing their best to elect Hillary Clinton President in 2008, would be wise to do.
If his resignation had anything to do with “the good of the country” he’d have resigned BEFORE the 2006 elections, not after Pelosi & company took over. That MIGHT have helped some good conservatives keep their seats, like Curt Weldon for one example.
No, he was Bush’s sacrifice in exchange for the shamnesty bill IMO.
