WILL RUMSFELD RESIGN?

[mburbank]

He's the architect of the Iraq war. As the secretary of Defense he is the main man on every aspect of the Iraq war. Everything tht's gone wrong, everything we didn't plan for from the looting to how many troops we'd need and how long the have to stay, to our constantly shifting policy and the current prison scandal can be laid directly at his door.

Will he take the fall?

I don't think so, even though he's going to be an easy target in the election. Same goes for Cheney.

Two reasons.

1.) W's loyalty. Faith in the inner circle is Bush family tradition. Total secrecy , total loyalty. Cosa Nostra, baby. If they could find way to pin it all on Powell, that would be another matter.

2.) Find me a Neocon who's capable of thinking they were wrong about anything, ever. These are guys who if they were on fire would tell you they weren't. Nothing is going wrong, the things that are are minor, the mjor things going wrong don't change anything and the things that do change things didn't happen and they are all someone elses fault.

Rummy is staying right where he is.
