Holy shit...didn't see that coming.  I'm watching the live stream right now of the news conference.

I wonder who will be his replacement?

Maybe Colin Powell? Who knows.  Who cares.  Anyone would be better the Rummy.

Haha.  In the other thread about the only thing that matters this election, lowing kept pressing me for what I would do.  Number one on my list was to dump this dumb ass.

Colin Powell would be awesome.  I wonder if he would be willing to come back after his 4 years of service after secretary of state.

www.kpix.com also has a scoop on this suggesting a Republican official has said Rumsfeld is stepping down.  THe president will speak in about an hour or so and maybe he'll do a "pre-emptive" castration of Rumsfeld before the Democrats get the chance to!  Weeeeheeeee!!


Nah na naaaaa nah, nah na naaaaa nah, hey hey hey, GOOD BYE!!! 

Oh how I'd just love to laugh in the faces of some of last nights losers!  HOpefully Rumsfeld is the begining of many more such implosions to come!

According to the racial draft, he's officially white now. Maybe he'll get take up the post.

Noooo way!  Colin Powell, though he sold out to Bush, would never reassociate himself with that clan.  Even if he  didn't have political aspirations for the future, which would be ruined if he buddied up with BUSH again, he wouldn't be caught dead with Bush after what he did in 2003.

But otherwise, he'd be good.

Good point.  But I still think he'd be the best man for the job.

Damn, now I need a new sig.

Bob?  Who cares?!  I'm sure he'll do a "heckuva job" too!  Like Rumsfeld.  And as long as Bush is doing the canning, he'll make it look like it's not a bad thing..maybe a simple retirement from a successful job well done...

I agree that with the falling out they had that it is unlikely he would take the position, but I think he would be the best choice anyway.

its been coming for a while.  they beat up on him (which the deservered) to the point he was fighting the media as much as insurgents.  But i never said he was a smart man.

Evidence A= You go to war with the army you have, not the army you want.

rebuttal= you go to war with an army that will kick the living shit out of anyone who stands up.  you bring anything less and you are cheating your troops your citizens and your taxpayers.  In real war, spawn camping is allowed.

If Bush is picking the guy,  you honestly think he'll be better than Rumsfeld? I hear this Gates dude was Bush Sr's right-hand man when he was head of the CIA. Great =/ well things will still be good if the Democrats control the senate. *Crosses fingers*

edit: Can someone summarize the speech when it's done? I can't stream it from where I am.

Eh, I heard about that some days ago. Didn't NY Times scoped that of from some army magazines? Or perhaps that was their wishes and not a fact. Anyway, about time (my opinion, I'm not American and do not know all of it.)

Former director of the CIA, hopefully he'll have some balls like Rumsfeld.

A few days ago, "Army Times" said Rumsfeld "must go". This resignation was just announced around 1PM Eastern Standard Time.

Holy hell!!  Watching Bush right now, he's got this fear-laden type of honesty as he stutters along...  He's not getting pissed at the questions...he's admitting mistakes sort of, he's now modifying his stay the course BS.. wow...

For the first time in about 5 years, I'm starting to feel the depression leave me from the political change up going on!  This is like an epiphany or something! lol  I'm about to start giggling madly in my office now!

** Suzanne Malvaux just asked Bush "Nancy Pelosi has called you incompetent, dangerous, an emporer with no clothes..etc [paraphrased]...how do you expect to work with her after her comments?"  Bush of course, stutters and pretends he's interested in working 'with' Pelosi further.

wow, this is amazing.
