I think you should do a little research. Six retired generals out of how many generals that encompass the timeframe of the six outspoken ones? Do they consititute a majority of retired military (I can tell you that no, they don't, not even close). What you're seeing is that the press only publishes the interviews of people they agree with - they do not publish the interviews of the other hundred or so generals.\n\nSince what he's done so far has been successful - the actual war was over quickly, there is already a government coming into place, the local police and military are picking up well, and the infrastucture is coming online for the first time in almost 50 years. So yes, he's done a "good job", wouldn't you say??

First thing Dems are going to do is ask for the removal of Rumsfeld (12 Generals have already asked for his removal).  When his own are asking for removal, don't YOU think it would be the right thing.  Chaney only has the 2 years left (so who cares).  Rice - with the way things are changing, well she just won't have the carte blanch that she had before.\n\nIt's a great thing for America!!

where did you hear anything about war crimes with Rumsfeld? And if their is a war crime trial I think they will run as far as they can away from Rumfelds.

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.

How come every week, another Democrat slams the troops or the country?\n\nThat's just the way it is...\n\nUPDATE: Oh, well. It looks like the accuser failed his polygraph.

That would have been Rumsfeld. While he is being a scape-goat for the bush-league, might as well go whole-hog.

The retired generals who are speaking out against Rumsfeld are hardly liberals. Yet they are convinced that Rumsfeld has been a primary reason for the failed war effort in Iraq.\nIt's pretty compelling when so many retired generals, knowing they will be attacked for their views, still have the courage to speak out. \nWe already know that the planning for winning the peace was minimal. We know that Rumsfeld decided to have many fewer troops in the field than recommended by numerous experts, including the generals. We know that Rumsfeld disbanded the Iraqi military, a decision that many believe has made it so difficult to train a new security force.\nWhy continue to support someone who has made so many mistakes, and who doesn't seem to learn from them? Or is it just a case that firing Rumsfeld would acknowledge that Bush thinks everything is not going well? \nI guess when reality confronts fantasy, fantasy wins in this administration.

Rumsfeld is an absolute CRIMINAL. He should be relieved of duty, along with that W guy. The rich guy from Wyoming needs to go, too...

Bush is afraid of Nancy Pelosi, and here is why Rumsfeld was fired: LINK\nhttp://stream.paranode.com/imc/portland/images/2003/12/276084.jpg\nhttp://portland.indymedia.org/en/2003/12/276083.shtml

That's wrong..Yall need to give that man some air. He has more to do in his BS life then you would know what to do with. Any how his Sec of Defence is the one killing because he is the adviser of the pres. in war. I don't care if anyone is offened or any thing else.

George W. is too dumb to fire Rumsfeld.

It goes to show you what liberal Democrats will do if they get control! Typical loony leftist liberal attitude toward our military. Are we really expected to believe that his insult was due to the fact that he can't tell a "GOOD JOKE"?? That dumb excuse proves that he thinks everyone is stupid & not just our troops!  He's always been an arrogant SOB & now he's proved it. He bit himself in the as-!

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?

because the president didnt listen to the people that are telling him that this is a losing battle yesterday on the abc, cbs, and nbc news, a story appeared about how bush was told, by his own hand picked generals, that the war is going badly, and he immeditaly went in to a prees conference and said the exact oppisit. bush is a perenial liar he should be shot. republicans have no one else to blame for this fiasco but themselves

I watched the press conference on CNN the other day when Rumsfeld still wouldn't answer any questions. They were arresting people and removing them from the room when asked why he couldn't tell the truth. One of them was a CIA agent, Rumsfeld still wouldn't answer. He is a joke to the American people and needs to be removed.
