Whenever Rummy shows up to meet with the troops he is greeted with cheers.
Of course he is, or that is how it is shown. They are never going to show a negative reaction to him because that would mean/create disent within the ranks. The press might like to see something like that, but the military won't allow it to happen.

What the troops and commanders really think of him probably won't be known for many years.

Funny how the president lied and said he wasn't thinking about resigning, all a bunch of f'ing lies...

He just said that he didn't want it to have any impact on the elections last night.

Oh and PS I don't think there has ever been a politician that hasn't lied, and that shouldn't be news to you.

My ears are open and that's exactly what I heard on the news earlier today.

Bush said he misled the reporter because he "didn't want to inject a major decision about this war in the final days of a campaign."

What is the new reason? I'm sure it's the same as it always has been.

O common dude, a week ago he said "I see no reason why he should resign" and "he has no intention of resigning" or something like that. And if you watched the press confrence, it was a train wreck. I watched it with two conservative friends and they thought he acted like a total retard and wouldn't answer questions. If the rep. would have won, Bush would have kept Rummy in power, there is something up... He knew that the dem. would press charges and get a commision report on how retarded rummy is, why else would he have done it, all of a sudden? :rolleyes:

And about the excuse, the new one is, "We have to protect the oil from the terrorists," stated by, I think, the leader of the Republican national commitee AS THE MAIN GOAL!!! A while ago, it was to get Saddam out, then make democracy work, and now it is a "main" focus to not let them F*** with our oil. Tell your party to stop lying and say that they just want the oil. :unsure::rolleyes:

Those aren't reasons for going in Iraq, those sound much more like short term goals. The Chairman of the RNC also has nothing to do with policy. He is part of the party orginizaiton, not the party in government.

Rumsfeld's resignation may have political motiviations, but trust me, no one is going to press charges and have a comittiee investigation on what a retard he is. I think that bringing in someone with new and vastly different perspective and experiences certainly has the potential to help the situation in Iraq. I do not share your view that he was incompetent though. He did a great job handling the military and political aspects regarding Afghanistan, and the first portion of the Iraqi war was quite remarkable in many ways. As far as how he handles the press, he usually doesn't answer questions, and when he does, he is a total smart ass with them.

Oh and I guess your S60 runs on sunshine and smiles - "Your party" isn't any less concerned with oil than the Repubs. Our economy is dependant on oil, so you can believe that regardless of which party holds executive or legislative office, it will take the necissary steps to ensure we have a supply until such a time as we can transition to an alternative(s).
