Hanyah hasn't resigned yet,and as it seems that the talks for a unity government are going very well,I don't think he will resign...\nSo I guess in a few years we will know who is the next Palestinian prime minister...

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.

Although I highly doubt that he will leave of his own will, if he did leave I think it would leave a big slot to fill for whomever stepped into it. He's made such a mess of things with the military. It would be great if he left, one way or the other, but it would be intersting to see who would step in to his place. Anyone with prior military experience I think would be better for the job.

LOL, one week after Dumbya's "Dumsfeld will serve until my term is up" the inane, inept and (possibly) insane Sec of Defense resigns.  I agree with irish_american_psycho who thinks this whole thing was a bet:  Dumsfeld betting his resignation that Republican keep control....and he lost.  Either way, with Dumsfeld out, the US Armed forces can now really win the Bush War in Iraq and begin a true War on Terror.

I heard a rumor that Nancy Pelosi told Bush that Rumsfeld was going to be indicted if he did not resign.

You just can't trust anything Bush says. \nHere's my take on the Rumsfeld resignation. With Democrats taking control of the House and Senate, they will begin investigations for the Bush administration's failures and most likely more. I am really wondering why Republicans have had private talks with Henry Kissinger very recently. Quite possibly, damage control. If you look back to the 70's, Kissinger was part of the Nixon team, when Watergate was investigated. \nBush is trying to raise his popularity rating whether he'll admit it or not.  He'll say anything to make himself look good. Bush only confuses himself not us, not all of us. Bush can't keep the story straight because, he doesn't understand the plot. I think he may finally begin to realize that it's not about him. I am wondering if anyone else saw that none of Bush's best buds were present at the press conference yesterday. No Cheney, no Laura Bush. Does Bush have children anymore?Parents? Must be lonely in the Duck Pond.

I am not sure It will end all of a suden, for I am pretty sure, that it will take a new turn, a diferent policy or diferent strategy.\n\nIn my opinion it will depend grandly on who will be the next president.

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.

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"

Correct me if I am wrong, but their term is not limited and I haven't heard about any resignations.\n\nThe current one has been there since 1997.\n\nThey aren't shrek!! You might not like them but they do a lot of good work.\n\nWe started the UN!!\n\nIf it weren't for the UN this world would be a disaster!

Rummy was expendable.  Getting rid of him is an attempt by Bush to look like he been chasten by the Republican loss.  Time will tell, but I'm not counting on much from the president.

No, but that will not stop Bush if he sees that he has to leave office he'll do it.

I believe that Defense Secretary Rumsfeld needs to resign. While in office, his vision for the military simply does not jibe with reality. His concept of "transformation" means cutting down troop levels, purchasing a ton of gold plated fly boy toys, and letting the military-industrial complex (and private military companies) get hold of the taxpayers' hard earned money.\n\nThe perception of Rumsfeld is that with superior technology, America can defeat any opponent, unconventional and conventional. This is evident in the emphasis on technology as opposed to doctrine and training. However, as Col. Boyd (who developed the concept of OODA) once said, "People, ideas, hardware, in that order!" One must remember that in Vietnam, we had superior technology, but we could not entirely eliminate the NVA and VC after how many years of combat (though the VC was decimated after the Tet Offensive). In Korea, the Chinese were able to surprise the UN & US and drive them back, after managing to conceal their entire divisions from the UN/US air patrols. Americans must realize that technology may be a force multiplier, but cannot be relied on too much to fight wars. History has proven time and time again that excellent strategy, training, and quality warriors will always turn the tide of the war while technology helps (and hinders as well). One must also look at Iraq and see what is the major killer of our warriors. IEDs. These IEDs are relatively inexpensive, and are able to defeat our hundred thousand dollar uparmored HUMVEEs and even our million dollar M1A2 Abrams tank. RPGs can take down our helicopters. Why is it that the enemy can find a low cost and effective solution and we cannot? And about the Army's planned brigade combat teams... it guts maneuvering elements (and counts the reconnaisance battalion as a maneuvering element) while enlarging headquarters. Being flexible is important, but this BCT concept on the surface seems to make it more flexible, but in reality makes it less flexible. With less maneuvering elements and a bloated headquarters, it becomes more slower and inefficient.\n\nNot to mention, his performance for the invasion of Iraq was unacceptable. Despite the warnings and objections from the professional generals (about troop levels, post-war planning, etc), he decided to go ahead anyways. Now we are stuck fighting an insurgency in an effort to stabilize Iraq.

No he should not resign. He has a responsibility to his party and to his constituents to commit to his role and right his wrongs. Furthermore, who would replace him? Another crony? An unprepared opposition? There is a wonderful process called democracy that means we can vote him out if we don't like him. If anything, he could call an early election, but he should not resign.

For those who say Rummy resigned, do you really think if Dubya had gotten down on his knees and, after kissing Rummy's butt, said, "Oh please, please don't go!  I can't live without you!"  he would have left? No, he would have stayed.  Now Georgie will have to accept more blame and his legacy continues to grow as the Fool Who Invaded Iraq.  You  know, that, his foolish war in Iraq,  and the fact he was the "My Pet Goat" reader on 9/11 will be all this piece of human offal will be remembered for.
