Since Rumsfeld's bird-flipping Q&A with the troops, some surprising developments have taken place. While it's no surprise that Democrats are in an uproar over Rummy's remarks, I find the following rather intriguing:

-Norman Schwarzkopf pubilcly stated he was angered by Rumsfeld's remarks
-John McCain has publicly stated that he has "no confidence" in Rumsfeld
-Republican Senator Susan Collins (ME) has publicly criticized Rumsfeld's remarks
-Trent Lott (!) has said he wants to see Rumsfeld replaced

Does anyone predict that this will snowball? And do any of you think a stubborn, cantankerous old fuck like Rumsfeld will ever bow to public sentiment, especially when Bush still professes complete faith in Rummy's performance?
