If Rumsfeld ran for President I'd vote for him.

50,000 people go to a baseball game, but the game was rained out. A refund is then due. The team is about to mail refunds when the Congressional Democrats stopps them and decrees that they send out refund amounts based on the Democrat National Committee's interpretation of fairness. After all,if the refunds are made based on the price each person paid for the tickets, most of the money would go to the wealthiest ticket holders. That would be unconscionable!

Your donations keep us fighting liberals

It is not as if the Pentagon was not warned. In the lead-up to war, there were many voices from experienced experts and think tanks warning that the United States would need a substantial military police force to go in right after the troops.

Were these the same experts who said we'd lose 5,000 soldiers to the battle-hardened Iraqi Army?

[Toddsterpatriot]

Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz presided over what one diplomat calls a ''colossal miscalculation'' that may have more impact on this country than did the miscalculation at the Bay of Pigs four decades ago.

This is a funny one. Comparing one of the greatest modern military victories to Kennedy's failure to oust Castro by withholding air support.

Let's see, total victory on the one hand vs. total failure on the other. Yeah, these are comparable.

This weasel forgaot to add that Rummy & Paul made the ultra-left wing media and it's America-hating hacks look bad when the US military refused to play "quagmire."

What is it with these neocommies and this tactic of describing a triviality and then claiming, that as a result of that triviality, a Republican or good guy should resign. They got away with it with Packwood. No dem crook or extremist-liberal will ever resign when getting caught doing anything, much less anything trivial.

Where's the BARF Alert?

[beckett]

Goes to show you how delusional the left is these days. They actually think a Secretary of Defense with two victories in war under his belt is a candidate to be fired.

[Ditter]

This guy should get his head out of his a.. & look around. Compare the Iraq War II to the Bay of Pigs?

[ishmac]

Although American soldiers quickly secured the Oil Ministry in Baghdad, nothing was done to protect museums, hospitals, vital offices.

Good grief, those dorks on the left are still sniping about the the blasted museum (non)looting. Having said that, Rush Limbaugh's dictum is true: in politics, appearance is reality. The Bushies are are beginning to appear to have a problem, and thus they need to fix it.

[Pan_Yan]

Ever notice when liberals want to make a Conservative look like a failure they have to compare hime to a liberal? (ie McNamara)

And once again those fifteen missing museum pieces will haunt Rummy to his grave.

[SierraWasp]

Give the Boston Globe (Blob) the BOOT!!!

[jimtorr]

t is said that after the Bay of Pigs, President Kennedy told Richard Bissell, the CIA man in charge of the project, that under a parliamentary system it would be he, Kennedy, who would have to resign. But since it was not, it was Bissell who would have to go.

Maybe Kennedy should have resigned. He told Bissell to go ahead and invade, and then paniced and refused to support the invasion force.

What a bunch of .............

Regretably not avail online, but hot in The New American, of July 14 ( JBS.org magazine ),

Is Trotsky Alive in the White House? Details connections of the 'so-called' neoconservatives ( who JBS hates ) to disciples of Trotsky-Wolfowitz is among those attacked. The real surprise is a cat-fight on-line at National review-Schwartz vs. Beichman about who is pure. They uphold the Trotsky scheme of constant revolution as a viable political model! Wow!

I'll look for the newspaper article which started discussion from National Post.

Then again, I should appreciate guidance-don't wish to offend the Moderator Gods. Perhaps they would respond to an innocent inquiry.

[tkathy]

I would vote for Rummy as well.

[Southack]

BWAAA HA HA ha haaaa!

Has there ever been a weaker public case made for firing Cabinet officials in all of history?!

This article is so pathetic that it's funny!

Oh yeah, suuuuuuure, we'll fire some of the guys who are giving liberals such grief. < /MOCKING! >

[paul51]

It always amazes me how people can look at the same set of facts and circumstances and interpret them so differently. Either this guy is really F***ed up or I am.

[afuturegovernor]

Rumsfeld is Bush's favor cabinet office. He not going anywhere.

The irony is that Bush did not know Rumsfeld before he asked him to be Secretary of Defense. Bush knew Rumsfeld only by his reputation. Cheney told Bush that Rumsfeld had his highest recommendation. So Bush went with Rumsfeld.

Bush and Rumsfeld hit it off and the two are very close now.

Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz re-invented modern warfare. What they accomplished in Afghanistan and Iraq was unthinkable. Their use of Special Forces to multiply the destructive power of the air and ground forces was a major step forward in the evolution of military tactics. Of course, the technological advances in precision weaponry was a tremendous help.

This was also the first war in modern history to accomplish its goals and still come in ahead of schedule and under budget. No wonder the left wants him out.
