It’s one thing for those with no ties to the military to criticize the prosecution of a war. It’s quite another for the Military Times publications to do it. Here’s a link to their extraordinary editorial explaining why Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld needs to resign. It concludes: “Rumsfeld has lost credibility with the uniformed leadership, with the troops, with Congress and with the public at large. His strategy has failed, and his ability to lead is compromised. And although the blame for our failures in Iraq rests with the secretary, it will be the troops who bear its brunt.
“This is not about the midterm elections. Regardless of which party wins Nov. 7, the time has come, Mr. President, to face the hard bruising truth:
“Donald Rumsfeld must go.”

Like an aging athlete, he just doesn’t acknowledge his time is long past.
Rummy’s BOSS needs to go.
Trouble is, the Military times is NOT a military pub. Its a Gannet paper just like USA Today.
Rummy’s out.
Just goes to show that the squeaky wheel (the people) always gets the grease.
