MSNBC/AP | 11.8.06

This is just crossing my desk now; nothing follows yet. According to some sources this is the subject of the noon presser.

[jess35]

I'm happy for him. He doesn't need this BS. He's served his country well and he doesn't deserve to be made a scapegoat and whipping dog by leftists and many republicans who apparently think war is what you play on your Xbox.

[BearArms]

Just a little late, I would say. It's never wise for a chief executive to tolerate and reward incompetence for this long.

[wtc911]

Look for him on next season's Dancing with the Stars.

[Texaggie79]

We would have the house and senate. No doubt in my mind.

[nutmeg]

Rummy has served his country with honor..

I agree.

[who knows what evil?]

A Democrat Senator I hope!

Joe Lieberman?

[mystery-ak]

I am not talking about us or those who voted Repub....I'm talking about all those idiots who voted for rats knowing full well what it meant to have the rats back in power.

[DAC21]

"Dick Cheney?"


Hummmm, and then slip Condi in as VP, I like it!

[noexcuses]

I'm already hearing from my liberal co workers that Gates is a "loser". What is there except for being a Republican, that would elicit that response?

[dforest]

The Dems are probably threatening a speedy defunding unless Rummy quit

[Coop]

And Bush's stubbornness caused this loss.

No, it's the selfishness of the Posse Clowns like yourself that caused this loss.

[PurpleMan]

Absolutley.

And THIS Congress will be the confirmation congress not the one after January

[meandog]

Should have happened a year ago.

Concur...as another poster pointed out he did a good job of building back the military Clinton left in pieces BUT he was clearly over his head as a wartime SECDEF!

[stm]

This is BULLSHIT. We should be UNITING against the libs, not RUNNING

[dawn53]

I'm already hearing from my liberal co workers that Gates is a "loser".

Well that's a good sign.

[Blue State Insurgent]

Bob Gates, apparently.

[relee]

Looks like it's Gates. Bob, not Bill.

[jess35]

Hey, why not repeal the tax cuts while were at it.

Don't worry, the democrats will and the administration and republicans in congress will roll over and pant for them.

[Texaggie79]

Rummy has allowed a liberal war to take place over there. Where OUR soldiers are the ones being put on trial, without being given the manpower they need.

Everyone was saying it, even the heads of the military.

[deep]

Iraq is the reason Republicans got nailed. Start accepting the fact that Iraq IS a mess, and if it's not cleaned up in one year, a democrat will be the next President.
