2) Assuming it's true, Bush is not going to fire Rumsfeld. He's already said as much and it makes sense. As Fark noted, you're not supposed to fire your boss.

3) The military news community has been running editorials like this for quite some time. See the May 17, 2004 editorial in Military Times (I'll quote it here) and it's had no effect.
