McCain to shortly announce Rummie should resign! (CNN)

[doxieone]

No link.

1. Guess he didn't get the memo or

see the press conference.

[Coventina]

2. If this is true

McCain will creep up a notch in my estimation.

He still has a long ways to go, though.

[wicket]

3. WOO HOO!

This is fantastic news!!!!

[doxieone]

4. McCain is more attuned to the military than Jr.

He knows what needs to be done.

[wicket]

13. Plus the fact that he was a POW for 5 years

...in Vietnam definitely gives him perspective on this.

5. McCain breaks ranks more often than most Repugs.

I am hopeful that others will follow this time.

[spotbird]

6. I have CNN on and didn't hear it.

Was in on International or Headline perhaps?

[maddezmom]

11. haven't heard it on CNNI...but have been switching back and forth

[maddezmom]

7. maybe he saw the videos.....

will have to wait and see.

8. If Rumsfeld ever did resign wouldn't Wolfowitz be next in line? EEEEEK!

[jobycom]

17. Wolfowitz blew it already

Wolfowitz's ignorance on the number of war dead will put up a few roadblocks amongst Dems and a few Repubs, maybe McCain.

Bush is in trouble, so I doubt he'd pick a confirmation fight right now. IF Rumsfield goes, Bush is going to want someone with public approval, not someone who doesn't bother counting our own casualties.

The perfect fit for Bush would be McCain. He's popular, he's good on foreign affairs, he crosses the aisle sometimes, and best of all, Bush could put him in a black hole where he will look bad for criticizing the president. McCain, of course, would only accept under the worst of threats.

9. Thank Goodness

finally a republican

[lovedems]

10. I just saw a little blurb that said "McCain says it too soon to tell if

Rummy should step down".

At least he isn't in full support mode.

[Tellurian]

15. Oh, pooh...Bush got to him first!

[proud patriot]

19. oh ....well at least it's still possibilty

:shrug:

[Tellurian]

12. Is this a maneuver to stem the responsibility away from Bush? nt

[Jackpine Radical]

14. During the 2000 campaign the Bushies always claimed

that McCain was unstable and ready to go over the line. Maybe they're about to finally prove themselves right, but it won't be a line they want to see him go over. It'll be the one separating the right from the left side of the Senate.

16. Imus was urging republicans to take the lead on this

dont listen to Imus often, dont like him,so I was surprised to hear him say that, but thats what he was advocating. He named McCain or Hagel, he sounded very disgusted with bush, this morning.

22. Welcome Home Sleepless

[newyawker99]

24. Hi Sleepless In NY!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[TheWizardOfMudd]

18. McCain said ITS TOO SOON TO ASK RUMSFELD TO RESIGN

Someone misunderstood.

[belladonna]

20. That's weird

Only because CNN has had something to the effect of "McCain says too early to ask Rumsfeld to resign" on their crawl for the last hour or so.

[Failure]

21. I DO NOT WANT WOLFOWITZ IN THERE....do you?????

I want rumsfeld to stay, so they can all go down together in Nov. Plus, who the hell wants that evil fascist bastard wolfowitz in there?


failure.

[troublemaker]

23. This is bogus. Please don't post misreadings as news
