Donald Rumsfeld stepping down...

Looks like Rumsfeld is the fall guy.....Didn't Bush only recently say that he wanted Rumsfeld to stay until 2009 before todays K.O by the Democrats.

:dew:

this means they'll be a new Chain of Command member for me to memorize:cmad:
 
Bush should be careful who he fires. His last few fire-ees wrote some rather damaging books. I could only imagine what Rummy could write.
 
i dont think so. Rummy, cheney, they're more in the Ashcroft crowd. all those guys are part of an old guard with ties to W's dad. they ain't talkin.

it wouldn't exactly help them... if they talked they're the ones that would end up getting f***ed.

Come now Max, these guys will do anything for money and more power. Even if it means selling out their friends.
 
but thats the thing- they'd LOSE money (and by corollary, power) if they sold out.

Point well taken.
 
Good news for the Americans.He left because the Democrats and the people were about to call for his head,he would have been bombarded by critisim.
 
Think of how many lives could have been saved had this come 2 years ago.

Especially if they don't want to end up with a bullet in the back of the head. Seriously.

I would have to agree with you. The Democrats may have taken Bush's removal off the table, but the others like Rumsfeld and Cheney are still free game.
 
I never did really trust that guy anyway. And I agree it was a smart move for him stepping down...just a matter of time before he would have been ousted anyway.

I really have to hand it to Bush, he's saying all the right things since the Democrats took over Congress and the Senate. I'm glad to hear him discuss bipartisanship like he's doing. I only wish he had tried that when he first took office. I hope he follows through with it.
