It didn't take long to answer Mark's question: Will the results force out Rumsfeld? However, the Dems didn't have to call for Donald Rumsfeld's scalp. He stepped down.
Does this say it all from one of Rumsfeld's detractors in the blogosphere: "About frikkin time!" writes Kyle on his LiveJournal blog. It appears that the LiveJournalers really don't like Rummy that much. Fallen Angel writes:
"You can rip your tranny out throwing it into reverse that fast. Anyone
else see the administration throwing lots of other people and programs
under the bus in an attempt to look bipartisan and possibly hold onto
the White House in 08?"
Ok, enough of venting from LiveJournal. Even BoingBoing, the directory of wonderful things, has the tech take on Rumsfeld's resignation.
Surfing over to the milblog Blackfive, I find a couple of very interesting posts. Matt, the host at Blackfive, saw Rumsfeld's resignation coming. He said he heard the whispers on the dark net. Matt, you got your ears on .mil? Uncle Jimbo posting there will throw Rummy a kick-ass retirement party, but he doesn't have many kind words for Wubya:
"I'm done, W is dead to me. I don't hold with most of the criticisms of
W and Rummy, but this debacle cost our entire country and I no longer
believe that Bush is capable of leading us, well me for sure. This
administration has been nowhere near as incompetent as portrayed by the
media and the left, but there have been too many screw ups and too
little success."
Matt pays homage to Rumsfeld and wonders: "Is Gates the new voice that we need?"
