If Bush has any honor and integrity at all he would fire Rumsfeld, yes.

... it's not time for a different strategy... it's time for A STRATEGY... I don't think Bush ever really had one for the rebuilding in the first place... \n\nDo you remember when all the generals were slamming Rummy... it was because they all said that we needed more troops to stabilize Iraq than we had in there, but Rummy said the number of troops were fine...\n\nSo now what do we have... the wild west... assassinations and car bombings every day with no security except in U.S. controlled zones... you can't build a country without any real security... \n\nNo one wants to help the U.S., because everyone that does ends up dead in a ditch in about a month...

Rumsfeld sucks plain and simple. He is a reserve Naval officer, who belonged to a "think tank" that believed it knew more than the Generals and Admirals who do it everyday. \n   To top it off he isn't even a good diplomat or politician. I don't get it. Get him out. Colin Powell would have done a much better job. \n   I cannot express enough my hate for this man.

I think he will be forced to resign. Rumsfeld seems to be out of the loop these days with the Bush Administration, which is an indication to me that he will be even more out of the loop after the elections.

Absolutely, Rumsfeld is old and has no clue whats going on, a new fresh of eyes and opinions, and someone with Keen military strategy. someone who knows how to work within the branches and work them togetther for a tactical approach. we need to reestablish what the goals are and who is being targeted. rummy has got to go....

If he was gone 1 year ago, it might have made a difference. 3 weeks ago, the results would have been the same. Bush has no strategy other than to lie, make excuses, and blame others. He even lied about wanting to keep Rumsfeld.

Why should they?  He was just a front man for the screwy policies of Rumsfeld and Cheney, the two men who gave us our foreign policy.  (That's why Colim Powell quit, by the way.)  Bush is just a dummy.

I hope so....\nBut the reality is, Bush actually believes what he preaches, sad really. If he fires Rumsfeld, than he is publically admitting his mistake.\nOur only hope at this point, is that the voice of country is actually heard tonight.

Seems likely in view of the fact that two or three weeks ago Bush lied that Rumsfeld would be staying on for the next two years.  Apparently a lie since he "accepted" Rumsfeld's resignation the morning after the election.  Speaking of....if there is to be a trial against Rumsfeld, would it consider Bush and Cheney as accomplishes?

that is why he resigned.\nif the demos had a chance to fire him it would mean bush would have to adnit he was wrong. \nright now the bush camp can spin this to make bush look good,\nwanting to work with demos, wanting a change in iraq, etc

I think Rumsfeld is an idiot.

It is not all Rumsfelds fault, but he had to go. The failed policy's of the Bush administration which he is one has got to be changed and this is a start. The election yesterday sent a message to Washington and I think that they might not be ignoring it this time. I think it is a change for the better.

Yes. Bush should apologize to the entire world and he should step down

The way I see it, he should be taken out of office.  There was this whole deal about Clinton, and how he should be taken out of office for f*cking one woman.  Bush has f*cked this entire nation and is responsible for many deaths of US citizens for no PROVEN reason.  Why isn't he being taken out of office?!?!?

Didn't Rumsfeld resign?

Absolutely Bush owes the Troops an explanation and an apology. With Bush firing Rumsfeld right after the election, and not before the election, even makes it more viable for him to do so...What a looser Dumbya is. How compassionate is the moral values of the Neocons here?

He should be impeached, tarred and feathered and stoned to death naked along with his entire cabinet. Now this is a good answer.
