CNN breaking news – he’s resigning. Bush press conference in 8 min. ought to be interesting.
It’s about damn time.
Can’t wait to hear the obligatory fluffy sendoff speech…
I am honestly shocked. Has he been given his Medal of Freedom yet?
Who’s the replacement?
Buh bye !!! Adios, farewell, and don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. I’ll miss his arrogance and loss of reality.
I’m a big fan of irony.
Colin Powell pleeeeease!!!
"After Rumsfeld and others raise the idea of striking Iraq in response to 9/11, Powell tells Gen. Hugh Shelton, “What the hell! What are these guys thinking about? Can’t you get these guys back in the box?”
Bob Woodward - Plan of Attack
DR. ROBERT M. GATES - President, Texas A&M
Can we get Cheney back into the job? He did such a great job gutting the military during Bush 1.
Considered yourself honored. Or not.
Considered yourself honored. Or not.
What? I am not tracking.
Who’s the replacement?
Rick “man on dog” Santorum? I guess he IS available now…
Considered yourself honored. Or not.

Signature.
Robert Gates.
This can’t be a reaction to the election results. These things take time clear. Why didn’t they do this in August or September? Why plan it for after the election?
Anyone watching the news conference via foxnews.com?
The streaming video is labelled as “Re-Broadcast of 9-11-01 Coverage”.
Anyone got any experience with Gates? I know a couple of ex-CIA folks who would have been there during his rise and leadership.
Actually some in the blogosphere are suggesting Rick “Man on Dog” Santorum" as a potential SCOTUS candidate. I can’t imagine a more horrible option.
I wouldn’t worry. The previous Senate couldn’t even confirm Bolton for the U.N.
He’s cutting and running!
I thought one’s not supposed to do that.
I think this is a good step for everyone as long as the replacement is the right guy. I wonder if we will see a big shift in the strategy in Iraq and WOT.
what a jackass, should of done this long ago not the day after the election. the results may have been different
I wonder if the election results kept the Republicans in the house and senate would Rumsfeld had kept his job.
