Comments on: Rumsfeld Steps Down; Gates To Succeed Him

Bush: Defense Secretary To Be Replaced By Ex-CIA Chief

The voice of the people prevails. Rumsfeld should have been kicked out a long time ago. The fact that he has been allowed to stay so long and continued to be harmful while compounding his failures and short comings is testimony to the fact that the head honcho (Bush, that is!)is a certified nut case. Power to the American people. It is better to be late than never to get Rumsfeld out of contention.

The world is a more sterile place today.
Keep the heads rolling.
America is due for more cleansing.

A sad day. Rumsfeld acted with honor realizing he had become a liability for his president. He has done a fine job for his country.

The first head rolls and the blood bath begins.

Holy Cr@p! Someone pinch me please because this just has to be too good to be true.

Could it be that rumsfeld's stepping down was part of an agreement between the republicans and democrats to avoid impeachment procedures if the dems won the house?.

1 down 2toGO... When Bush gets impeached, Cheney should go with him, not take over as president because he's the man behind a lot of Bush's failed actions and policies. Guilty by association.

YES! YES! YES! The sleeping giant has awakened! The American people have arisen in the kind of protest that we do best! We kicked the b*astards out and gave the president HIS wakeup call.

But he continues to lie. He lied in his press conference just now about Rumsfeld stepping down regardless of who won.

...when will he ever learn?

[rsoxfan1123]

rumsfield is a scapegoat for bush.

[dredre2k]

OOOH! And Donald CUT AND RAN PRETTY QUICK TOO! LOL!

[jeff776]

When do the war crime trials begin? Is Wolfowitz included?

[dredre2k]

WONDERFUL NEWS! This was LONG OVERDUE! I'm so glad that he's finally made a WISE decision for this country by resigning! What a MESS he has made in Iraq!

Now, they'll just need to make sure that Richard Pearl's Pentagon pass is revoked when Rumsfield Leaves!
