Rumsfeld has done his duty; it's time for him to take five and enjoy some good brandy.

If he would have stayed, which he could have, the socialists would have had him at hearing after hearing and harrassed him to his grave. To them, Rumsfeld is the enemy.

Unless the Democrats come up with a pro-war/anti-terrorist strategy immediately, our troops are going to be suffering increased deaths very soon.

I expect a book from Rummy in the near future ripping some in the Bush administration. Possibly before the 2008 election.

The only strategy that was not implemented, and Rumsfelt was against, was to increase the troop strength in Iraq. I think that there will be a massive increase in the number of US troops, directed by the new SOD.

Everyone, including the Demilibs need to note that he was the longest employed SoS.

I think Rummy's resignation has been in the works ever since his last trip to Capitol Hill. The same trip when after being interrogated by Hillary, Rummy's first words were "Good Grief!". Since you can't find a high caliber Secretary of Defense overnight, it has taken this long for it all to happen. The timing is not a coincidence, just part of a plan.

Rummy and Cheney are the best. If W is looking for someone to blame, he needs to be looking at why he lost the election, who his advisors were there. Getting rid of the best does more damage. Losing confidence in this administration more and more. Stay the course, fix what needs fixing, leave the rest alone.
