Will Donald Rumsfeld 'resign' after Nov 7?

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.

Only if Dick Cheney resigns first.

Maybe Bush and Cheney will step down too.   No, there's a honeymoon period where both Bush and the Dems claim they're going to work together.  That should last about 30 - 45 days, then we'll see what happens.

There were rumors Cheney would resign after the midterms. Apparently, he isn't going to do that.\n\nI'm not surprised Bush supports Cheney and Rumsfeld. After all, they all agree on the same policy and he doesn't think they're doing an awful job.

Trust me.  He has only used that pen once in his presidency so far, but I know he's stocking up on ink as we speak.  He will not bring our troops home early as it would cause a middle east disaster.  The lib dems have the war power act behind them (its never in history been used though), and that'd give him 30 days to continue fighting and then 60 to withdraw.  However, no Dem in the world that wants to keep their job would enact that, FAR too controversial

I last minute resignation would be admitting mistakes and admitting the falsehood of the whole Iraqi adventure. Therefore such resignation would resort even a bigger Democratic win.\n\nHe could resign a couple of months ago but at that time Republicans still believed in their win. Fortunately they were mistaken!

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"

Donald Rumsfeld is the resigning Secretary of Defense, he is the link between the President and the Military.\n\nNancy Pelosi is not the Speaker, she is the most senior Democrat and will most likely be voted into the position by her party when Congress is in session again

He should be removed from office.  Rumsfeld is worse than incompetent.  He is extremely intelligent and knows how to turn any conversation/debate to his advantage.  He and others in the current administration have betrayed the electorate's trust and continually displayed their disdain for anyone whose opinion is contrary to theirs.  They are very good at labelling their critics as non-patriotic.  However, we are all guaranteed the right to speak freely and offer our own ideas by the very Constitution these men and women promise to uphold, then go and violate it time and again.

No reason.. He should. But as we all know, he won't. Too bad for that scooter libby person for being the fall guy. Although he wasnt a saint either. Every Bush supporter should have to go to Iraq and fight his BS war for him.

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

NO!\nMaybe with the Democrats in control, Bush will not make that attempt. \nAnd a bad smile would be.....\nWe have all seen what stay the course means to the Bush Administration. To Foley, Delay, Haggard, Ney, Lay and many others it means do as I say, not as I do.\nTo Don Rumsfeld it actually means Cut and Run. Great, good riddance.\nTo Bush it means change the course to suit your needs for the moment. With the Republicans out, he is now changing his tune. Flip-Flopping around to keep the investigations at bay, or to a minimum. Promises bipartisan agreements, most likely to wield the veto pen without mercy, keeping Democrats from making any real progress until he is outa there in '08.

You have to wait until 07 if it even happens then.  Remember Bush holds the veto pen!

No one who has that high of a job is EVER fired.  If it comes to it (I hope so) Bush will "ask" for Rummy's resignation.  In the event he doesn't give it to him, he'll be fired.  But "getting fired" doesn't happen to the big whigs in Washington.

I'm glad you asked that question. This answer is going to piss you and everyone off when the time comes. Yes, he will do the honorable things a president can do during his last term and during the last days while in office. Are you ready for this? \n\nHe will pardon all the Screw balls that screwed everything up. Let the idiots that commit an act of money laudering off the hook. And finally, let His Vice president and Rumsfeld off the hook as well. This process, as I mentioned, it's call pardoning. Only the the most powerful like the president have that vested power to do that. It's heart sickening, dude. So go take your heart burn pills now.

It sadly isn't.Anyone in his right mind knows this "man" who lied about everything,from WMD to being greeted as liberators,lies which cost the lives of many young Americans and thousands of Iraqi civilians,who showed blatant disrespect for international law by promoting torture but never taking responsibility,who offended even his closest European allies,should have resigned and brought to justice long ago.\nIt never crossed his mind and it never crossed Bush mind before now when he thinks it can somehow help him politically.Bush thinks this gives him some more negotiating room with the Democrats.\nAll the human loss,suffering and crimes Rumsfeld brought weren't enough.Bush once again shows what he meant with bringing back decency to the white house,political strategy is all that matters.I sincerely hope no one falls for their lies anymore.Rummy just took one for the team and is replaced with another neocon.\nAbu Ghraib was a war crime,he should not only resign for it but be in jail for it
