It seems everyone these days is calling for the resignation or firing of Donald Rumsfeld. Why? Whatever did he do wrong? Is it the way he blatantly lies and misleads the public to achieve his goals? Is it because he is one of the people directly responsible for 2,600+ soldiers' deaths and $300 billion dollars worth of war expenses with nothing to show for it?
"Today's stunt may rile up the liberal base, but it won't kill a single terrorist or prevent a single attack," said Sen. Mitch McConnell, who later had the gall to call Rumsfeld an "excellent secretary of defense." That statement is ridiculous. I guarantee that if these retired officers can help remove Rumsfeld from his office, they will have done a great deal in hurting the terrorist cause and in preventing more attacks. Why? Because Rumsfeld is one of the people to blame for the fact that the terrorist threat is higher than ever. Rumsfeld was the jackass in charge of the Defense Department on 9/11! For Christ's sake, the terrorist attacks of 9/11 happened on his watch!
But alas, it doesn't seem to matter how many people think Donald Rumsfeld is a national disgrace. All that matters is that the only person in the world who can replace Rumsfeld refuses to do so.
