Linton · 11-05-06, 06:21 AM

Some of the leading service papers in the US have called for Rumsfeld to go:

Rumsfeld should have got the chop 2 years ago; it's a bit late now.

The flip side, including a link to this DoD response.

Personally, I'll sit on the fence on this one but my 2 feet are dangling on the side of the fence that says there should be someone better out there.

And who will replace him ? :hmm:
Maybe in this case the cure could be more harmful than the disease.

Secondly my info comes from a field grade officer friend of mine that currently works at the Pentagon and would be in a position to know. I'll take personal contacts over NPR democrats anytime.

I also have a field grade officer friend in the Pentagon, who would strongly disagree with your field grade officer friend, although I think that personal observations are not always the best way to get a complete picture of any issue. Frontline is produced by PBS, not NPR, and they have no official political affiliation. In addition the episode Rumsfeld's War was reported in cooperation with the Washington Post.
I trust Frontline because they are always very careful to get the input of people from many perspectives and political affiliations into their reports, and back them up with well documented facts, which is a standard not many other news programs can meet.

I'm sorry I meant PBS.

We'll just have to agree to disagree. In any case Rumsfeld will go when Bush goes and barring the unforseen not before.
