President Bush, brushing aside an intensifying clamor among retired military commanders for Donald H. Rumsfeld's resignation, said Friday his defense secretary enjoys his full support and that Rumsfeld's leadership of the Pentagon was "exactly what is needed at this critical period."
Meanwhile, Rummy is busy crushing the heads of his critics, a la Kids in the Hall:
Now, which three little words should convince everybody and their dog that Rumsfeld should resign? General Russell Honore, that "John Wayne dude" who went into NOLA in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and took charge like no one else had to that point.
If the Bush administration is serious about actually attempting to win the war in Iraq, they need to replace Rumsfeld with someone who knows what the hell they're doing. And no, David Ignatius, Joe Lieberman is not the man for the job. He'd simply be the equivalent of "heckuva job" Brownie who completely screwed up the Hurricane Katrina response because he was so incompetent. Bipartisanship my ass. Get someone who has a clue. It can't be that difficult.
