Rumsfeld is THE best Defense Secretary this country has ever had, and should stay the course.
It's LOTT who deserved to be removed from his position, and thankfully, was. I sure hope this idiot retires in two years.

BILOXI - U.S. Sen. Trent Lott doesn't believe Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld should resign immediately, but he does think Rumsfeld should be replaced sometime in the next year.
"I'm not a fan of Secretary Rumsfeld," Lott, R-Mississippi, told the Biloxi Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday morning. "I don't think he listens enough to his uniformed officers."
Rumsfeld has been criticized since a soldier asked him last week why the combat vehicles used in the war in Iraq don't have the proper armor. Both Rumsfeld and President Bush have said more vehicle armor will be shipped to Iraq.
Lott said the United States needs more troops to help with the war. The country also needs a plan to leave Iraq once elections are over at the end of January.
Lott doesn't think Rumsfeld is necessarily the person to carry out that plan.
"I would like to see a change in that slot in the next year or so," Lott said. "I'm not calling for his resignation, but I think we do need a change at some point."
Thanks a lot, Lott. Sheesh. What a moron.
for cryin' out loud...
What a dope.
Well I'm not a fan of Trent Lott.
Can we replace Lott within a year?
These gd stupid repubocrats are really startin' to pi$$ me off! They only have two years to prove to the American people that they are capable of great things, yet they seem determined to squander the opportunity in pettiness. They blow this chance and a pox on their house, too!
Amazing how many dips**ts here on FR were passionately defending their fellow dips**t, Senator Lott...
Corrected sentence: The American People don't believe Sen. Trent Lott should resign immediately, but we do think Lott should be replaced sometime in the next year.!!!
Ah, go impeach yourself Senator.
With two worthless D.C insiders from the GOP, Senators McCain and Lott calling for Secy. Rumsfeld to eventually quit, it tells me loud and clear that he should definitely stay. I think McCain and Lott should step down.
Spineless, lowlife RINO-loser Lott saying replace Rummy? Just freaking incredible.
A Lott to do about nothing!
Somebody's wig is on too tight.
It's LOTT who deserved to be removed from his position, and thankfully, was. I sure hope this idiot retires in two years.

Given that most of the "uniformed officers" Rumsfeld doesn't listen to are perfumed princes who were promoted under Clinton, that is a good thing.
