Oh, in the name of God does ANYONE in the Bush administration know what they're doing?????
Eight years is just too long for one man to be President.
HUGE mistake...
Me too....this really breaks my heart. Damn..
damn it
AP:
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, a key target of Iraq war critics, gave no indication Wednesday that he planned to step down in the wake of Democratic midterm election gains, his chief spokesman said. Eric Ruff, the Pentagon press secretary, said he participated in meetings with Rumsfeld on Wednesday morning and heard no talk of changing war strategies or of Rumsfeld leaving his post.
If this is true....
Bush, right don't you just pour salt in the wound.
I'm beginning to hate this man.
this is just so sad. Several weeks ago I remember Bush saying that Rumsfield would stay ON throughout Bush's term in office!!!!!!! If Bush caves now, we will all lose hope.
Oh this really sucks. I can take the election results because there will be another chance but Rumsfeld???
"I'm crying"
Me, too! Pass the tissues!
God Bless, Secretary Rumsfeld!
FOXNEWS CONFIRMS
Rumseld is stepping down. Resignation effective immediately.
Absolutely!
It's definitely too long for one party to be in power.
Let the handicapping begin
Let's see Rumsfeld's successes: 1)Captured Bin Laden at Tora Bora. 2) Assured complete defeat of Taliban in Afghanistan so that they wouldn't keep hanging around mucking up the works. 3) Ensured relative security for troops operating in Iraq by aggressively destroying and instilling fear in the radical populations in Iraq. Oh wait, none of those happened.
1) Bin Laden was allowed to escape because we had so few troops on the ground that local warlords were allowed to dictate military strategy. 2) See #1. 3) Too few troops and putting existing troops in a defensive rather than offensive role ensures what is going on in Iraq right now.
When your doctrine is to use underwhelming, rather than overwhelming, force, you will not win wars. It is the same doctrine that lost us Vietnam, and Bush won't let himself become LBJ to Rumsfeld's McNamara.
FOX: Confirmed.
Those Rummy news conferences at the beginning of the war were great! So entertaining to see him smack down the dummmy reporters.
Well, maybe a new strategy will be a good thing.
Why now and not two weeks ago? This is crap.
The American people collectively spit on our troops last night.
That's what I'm hoping this news is!
