Do you think Donald Rumsfield should resign?

Yes, but he won't. \n\nRumsfeld is the President's agent, as long as GWB needs him to take some of the heat Rummy will do it. If Rumsfeld left the buck would stop at George's desk.  Remember Dubya "makes decisions", and if the decision is nuts, let someone else deal with it.

Bush needs to be impeached, as does Cheney and the majority of the Bush cabinet. He should resign in disgrace and let a more competent centrist person take office.

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.

Let's get one thing straight.  He did not "resign".  Bush asked him to leave.  In all of the previous calls for his resignation, he had said that he serves at the pleasure of the President.  That said, it's not a cut-and-run.  It gives the American people and the American government a fresh start-someone who can lead the war effort without having to worry about what the American people will think.  Rummy will always be blamed for anything that goes wrong with the war, so now it's time for someone who can honestly say, "I wasn't the one who was running it from the beginning, I just want to get the job done, and as quickly as possible.  I don't want to dwell on any possible mistakes; the past is the past, and this is what we have to get through."

I believe Rumsfield is thinking more about himself lately than anything. He has several High ranking officers who control the U.S. military that are against him, they may and could interpet his orders in their own way. It is also possible he could pull a big blunder which will oust him. With president Bush supporting him and 70+% of the nation not in favor of Bush I would say that is a big problem.

Harry Reid violated the law by lying to congress about a land deal that he made a million dollars on ; then he acted like he can just wave it away with the stroke of a pen . He is a shady weasel who thinks laws don't apply to him-like many radical liberals  . It's not over yet . Many think he should resign . So do I .

As far as I can tell,most people are fed up with him and his bunch of cronies,personally I feel it's time for him to go.He hasn't been very consistent(Charles Clarke is the best man for the job,2 days later,he's the first to be sacked!),he has lost the trust of the country over the whole Iraq fiasco and now his cabinet seems to be in meltdown,time to admit defeat and leave while he still can,before he's pushed.

The timing was terrible looking, even if this was worked out before the election results was known! \n\n I like to think of it as "cut and run" because that is EXACTLY the same BS the far right Bush machine has pushed down our collective throat for far too long, and Rummy and Co gave very little or no indication that he was to resign beforehand, which makes calling him a "cut and run" type all the more satisfying as he richly deserves the mocking based solely on the timing and the incessant jeering they gave everyone else who didn't agree with the machine.

I would say it's too late.  He's said so many times that he's happy with Rummy's performance, even after Abu Ghraib and every other f*** up.  It would seem hypocritical for him to suddenly change his mind now.  It would seem like he's trying to toss deck chairs off the Titanic.  It won't make a difference.  That ship's going DOWN.

We can't leave but shouldn't stay.  Who knows what we should do.  Bush, Cheney, and Rummy certainly don't.  Cheney said it was almost over a year and a half ago.  Bush says he's not satisfied but he really isn't changing anything.  Rummy is just a confused self righteous old coot.

The answer to this one is YES, YES, YES AND YES......They should resign immediately.  They are totally incompetent. .Every time I watch Bush speak I am embarrassed that someone from another country will be watching him and say "man, is that the best they have"

Yes, he should resign, but don't worry... as soon as we have that election, his ass is grass.  Right now the election date may be April 22.  I intend to vote for anyone but him.  Word in the streets around New Orleans is he lost a majority of his votes with those statements he made.  Yeah, he's overworked and all, but he could at least pay attention to what he lets fall out of his mouth in public.

From my view point, John Kerry NEEDS to RESIGN IMMEDIATELY. \n\nWhere does my view point come from?  I am a military vet. A vet who's sick today. Sick that some ignorant Americans are 'blathering' that 'oh, people join the military because they had nothing better'.  Nothing better huh?!?!  I left a career to join the Army. I joined because the Iranians had taken our people hostage. And Jimmy Carter was useless in his meager 'efforts' to get them back. I joined just before Reagan took his oath of office. Everyone in the world knew that Reagan was a no bullsh_t guy. And would mount a massive attack against Iran to free the hostages. Sooo, any SOB that wants to friggin spew their bullsh_t about the Military, should better make sure they do it behind the 'safety' of a keyboard. If they were to say that in public, There's no doubt in my mind that a vet would 'show them' what freedom is all about. SHAME ON YOU FOLKS that insult OUR military.

No I don't.  I think he had the misfortune of getting caught.  He did the right thing by stepping down.   He put the presidency first.  Clinton however put himself first.

The President said today that he decided to replace Don a week ago but continued to claim to support him so as not to influence the outcome of the elections.\n\nThis was both a lie (lying to the public) and a major blunder on Bush's side. If he had canned Rummy a week before the elections Republicans might have been able to save some of the seats they lost yesterday.

Yes. But the whole administration needs to go.

Rummy should have been replaced at least two years ago.  I don't hate Rumsfeld.  I think he'd be a great grandfather, but he wasn't a good secretary of defense.
