Now the question is, who's the next SecDef going to be?

A Democrat Senator I hope!

I agree.

It is a necessary action as the GOP regroups.

This move ends the future endless hearings that Rumsfield would have had to attend to rather than his job. He has no choice.

I'd like to nominate Jack Murtha to replace Rummy. I mean, if we're going to surrender, let's go all the way!

Reactionary Stupidity

Rumsfeld should have resigned last week if this was the plan all along.

Good Lord - I hope this isn't true.

Don't do it, Rummy!

Pelosi cannot do it. Only the President can.

DIMS will do it anyway. What are rules to them?

I guess he is the sacrificial lamb as to why the GOP lost the House and possibly the Senate. They must believe it was the handling of the Iraq War.

The thing is, his resignation won't affect any other election (at least directly), as Bush will be gone after the next one.

Why now? Why not last week? Would it have made a difference in the Senate races?

unknown unknowns or known unknowns or known knowns

"Reports that say something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know,"

"We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know.

But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."

--Don Rumsfeld--
