For lying to Congress, misappropriating funds and
overseeing a lawless regime, Defense Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld shouldn't be forced to resign. He should be
incarcerated.

Dismissal is too good a fate for Donald Rumsfeld. George Bush realizes that Rumsfeld deserves better. Faced with demands that he dismiss his Secretary of Defense, Bush vows to keep Rumsfeld on the job.


Three cheers for the President’s endorsement, which opens the way for a more delicious possibility: the appointment of a special prosecutor who will seek and obtain an indictment against Rumsfeld for a variety of crimes. Thank you, Mr. President.


You could have allowed Rumsfeld to go quietly in the night and begin a well-deserved retirement from government affairs. You could have allowed Rumsfeld to beat a hasty retreat into obscurity. But you know he deserves better.


Rumsfeld deserves to be sent to prison for his acts as Secretary of Defense. So the President is doing the right thing: he is keeping Rumsfeld in place in order to give the legal system time to do maximum damage against our country’s arrogant, pompous and unrepentant war chief.

1. We probably oughta let this "rumsfeld getting fired" or resigning

go. Ain't gonna happen. Don't get me wrong, nothing would make me happier than to see Rummy get locked up, but think about who we'd get then: Wolfowitz.


I'll take Rummy any day over Wolfowitz. How about you DU? Would you rather have Rummy or that evil PNAC bastard Wolfie?

2. No question. Rummie is benign compared to Wolfie.

3. I'm waiting for The Hague to issue a list of war criminals in this

Administration.

4. A L-O-N-G LIST

5. No, let's keep the evil little bastard

He will be good for our side.

The Democrats need only three things to win this election:

1) We need a Republican candidate who is a bloodthirsty chickenhawk and whose entire staff is either bloodthirsty chickenhawks or bloodthirsty war criminals. We have that.

2) We need a press and a Democratic candidate who will let the people know we have a bloodthirsty Republican chickenhawk president who "leads" a staff of unrepentant criminals and chickenhawks. That seems to be coming.

and 3) We need enough of a margin of victory that BBV can't throw the election to George Bush. With 1) and 2), 3 is assured.

Donald Rumsfeld in office will help us with that. Donald Rumsfeld in a cage will not.

There is plenty of time to lock up Rumsfeld. For now let's concentrate on the task at hand, which is getting rid of the Bush administration.

6. it remains to be seen

I suppose. I'm not sure if its a good idea either to let him slide while people are talking about accountability in high places. That does not set a good precedent. It may finally be time for each and everyone of them to be held accountable in turn.
