Berkley calls again for Rumsfeld's resignation
WASHINGTON -- Following recent complaints by two Republican senators about the performance of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Rep. Shelley Berkley, D-Nev., on Wednesday renewed her call for Rumsfeld to step down.

"After observing that town hall meeting in Kuwait, I could not stand by and allow Rumsfeld to continue to be secretary of defense when thousands of lives are dependent on his good judgment, of which he has none," Berkley said.

Berkley was referring to Rumsfeld's response last week to a soldier who asked why troops had to search for armor for their vehicles. Said Rumsfeld, "You go to war with the army you have."

Col. Gary Keck, a Pentagon spokesman, said Rumsfeld has no intention of resigning.

2. Smack!!! I think she'll have better luck talking to a rock too!
Also, I can't believe that two Republican senators also called for Donald Rumsfailed's resignation too. Hmmm....

Repuketards would even complain about this administration with all the other screw ups that they have managed to do with no complaints. It's just astonishing, that's all.

Really? He should consider it. It worked out well for George Tenet. That's how things work in the Special Olympics Administration: fuck up big time, resign in disgrace, be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

8. Replace Rummy? With another warmongering ass? That what will
happen if and when he departs. It`s not Rummy in charge at the end of the day is it? He just follows orders and covers Bu$hitlers ass. As will his replacement. Wether the replacement is a better or worse lying scumbag than Rumsfeld remains to be seen. But all we the people will get from this batch of "worse than Nazi`s" is scum in which to fill the bag.
Peace
Wildman

10. Rummy has to go
even if it's Doug Feith, who was never in the military (just like our current Sec. of the Army) as the one replacing the bastard.
