You think they'll go after Gregg Williams now?

Re: Rumsfeld stepping down
What a punkass, stepping down because the writing is on the wall with the democrats taking control. Talk about 'cut and run'.
There's something really satisfying about seeing the Republicans sweating today. |

Re: Rumsfeld stepping down
That's what I was thinking. I heard it was because he was going to face charges. What a puss.

Re: Rumsfeld stepping down
Rumsfeld knew it was all over when Bush walked into his office and said, "Rummy, you're doin' a heck'av a job..."

Re: Rumsfeld stepping down
No shit, That kind of suprises me.
I'm curious is to why It wasn't sooner... Theres going to be some major policy changes coming. It kind of makes me nervous... I really think this war issue needs to be taken seriously, and not influenced by the fickle public opinion. Kind of worries me.

i hate these near-sighted, 'efficiency expert', bean-counters who just look at math and have never had first hand experience being in charge of so many people's lives. people like McNamara and Rumsfeld. i think thats why i generally shudder at people who just go by things like 'stats'.

In-fact, I was just making a direct stab at alot of the recent (pull out of IRAQ now!) trend amoung popular opinion. I think that we need to have a strategy other than cut and run, and I was calling popular opinion fickle because it is.... Thats why the supreme court is in for life, so pop. politics isn't involved... even though it tends to creep its way in there every so often.

i would directly disagree with you that the 'get out of iraq' feeling is RECENT. a full half of the country didn't want to go in in the first place, regardless of how our 'representatives' voted (thats why they're called flip floppers right?). the whole doubt about WMDs, concern about lack of exit strategy, troop level controversy and benefits to the general war on terror is all at least as old as the war itself.

While there was a great deal of people not wanting to go to war in the first place (me included) I think the trend to cut and run is fairly recent. There is a large amount of conservative folks who are even expressing faith in this strategy. That's kinda how I saw it, as a general solution, the idea to cut and run in the population as a whole is fairly recent. I'm not saying there weren't those who thought it all along, but in terms of the entire population mood swing, I think the ideals behind policy in Iraq have shifted dramatically in the past 6 months.

Re: Rumsfeld stepping down
The morons on the Hill, as well as Dubya's buddy who's taking over for Rummy, all know that the worst thing we can do is pull directly out of Iraq. At least I hope so...
