Will Bush stay Rumsfeld’s course?
The calls for Bush to fire Rumsfeld have never stopped after Abu Ghraib. They just keep intensifying:
An editorial to be published Monday in independent publications that serve the four main branches of the U.S. military will call for President Bush to replace Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
“Basically, the editorial says, it’s clear now, from some of the public statements that military leaders are making, that he’s lost the support and respect of the military leadership,” said Robert Hodierne, senior managing editor for the publications’ parent company Army Times Publications.
This is a bipartisan issue: anyone who thinks Rumsfeld has done a satisfactory job doesn’t deserve to be re-elected to anything.

Best wishes on your computer’s recovery!
By the way, have you heard about the fact that Forum Communications — the employer of the reporter that did the ambush interview of Hatch Thursday — is owned by William C. Marcil, who is a big-time Pawlenty backer? (I’ve also heard that the reporter himself used to write for at least one Republican party paper.)
