Rumsfeld out
Well the orgy of good news for Jeff continues.
I'm probably a decided minority on this - not because I support or oppose Rummy, but because I simply have no strong opinion either way. I think that there is much to criticize about the war planning, and I think conservative critiques of Rumsfeld's decision to emphasize rapid change in the military while at the same time fighting a massive have some merit. But if we're all agreed that changes need to be made in the Pentagon's structure, is it wise to cast aside the guy who might be most fit to oversee said changes?
Anyway, Rumseld has finally been made to fall on the sword. I guess the motto now is "the buck stops there."
