What are you talking about, onetime?
The issue I have a problem is that Rumsfield was alerted to this last year and evidently didn't put the boot down--actually responding is a lot different than easily controlling something.
I don't quite see how you make a connection between Rumsfield resigning and Bush being re-elected. As for who is calling for his head?
Anyone who is interested in demonstrating to the world we don't take kindly to this kind of shit--regardless of his personal responsibility. Yeah, symbolism sucks sometimes, but that's why the leaders of organizations get so much payola--they get the shaft when shit hits the fan.
People from both sides of the aisle are pissed over this and what it has done to our international relations. Even the Red Cross is coming out with some pretty harsh criticsm. Is everyone part of the liberal conspiracy to undermine Bush? Or is it even remotely possible to your mind that criticism is based on the fact that someone's head needs to roll in order to illustrate our collective disgust with the actions of our collective body--the military?
