Thanks, rat. I think that Bush 'can' ignore the lesson and there is a real possibility that he won't work with the Dems, especially if the Rumsfeld thing comes up. I think Rumsfeld really needs to consider resigning of his own volition to avoid this issue and keep Bush from either having to go back on his statement or bring this issue to a head. I think if it does come to a grid lock then it will only make things worse for Republicans since there is a clear American desire for some reorganization. The Pentagon needs an overhaul and the war needs some fresh perspective.
On that note though, I suppose if the executive and Congress become locked it's only going to help Dems in '08 so either way I think we have a great opportunity here.
