Well didn't Bush senior run the CIA at some point ? I'd say that post has to be worth something.. The thing about Rumsfeld... after 9/11 when we went into Afganistan, I remember watching his press conferences and the like, I really liked Rumsfeld. He was just unfortunate enough to get stuck with this Iraq war hanging around his neck for all these years.. and as a result of the elections the other night and in the 'name of change' he got the axe.. or resigned however you want to view it.
I will wish this new guy all the luck, and hope he finds a good enough solution to get our troops out of Iraq in a timely manner, and I also hope with a good result. I do feel however, there are no good end games as far as Iraq is concerned. One reason why the first Bush NEVER went into Iraq.
