Comments: Rumsfeld Should Not Resign
Agreed. Critics of Rumsfeld are livin on a prayer that he will resign, thereby disrupting the cabinet in an election year.
However, once again our lack of a postwar plan shows when buck privates are assigned to interrogate prisoners, and take pictures.

I don't think they were assigned to take pictures.
Rumsfield has presided over two victorious wars. Moreover, the parade of horribles, from thousands of American's dead, the rising of the Arab street, environmental catastrophe, have all failed to come to pass. The prison situation while bad is nothing compared to what American troops removed. He has pressed the Defense Dept. hard to remake itself. There is no man now living who could take Rumsfield's place in the half year before the election.
The hatred of Rumsfield among the press, the Democrats and the left in general underlines his effectiveness. Where are the calls for George Tenet and Norm Mineta to resign? The former has been an unending source of suspect information and the latter continues to see the profiling of young Arab men as more a threat to the US than...well young Arab men blowing up planes.
