Ex-CIA chief Robert Gates to succeed Rumsfeld.
That seems a pretty good choice.

Ex-CIA chief Robert Gates to succeed Rumsfeld.
He's from the "kill it before it becomes a threat" school of thinking however he also is probably one of the most knowledgable people out there on Mid eastern affairs and politics. He understands the landscape out there. He's also a real forward thinker. He'll know when to fight and when to talk and most importantly how to fight.
I know quite a bit about the guy and I really like the nomination.
For the "looking for a problem" crowd he was involved, loosely, in Iran-Contra. Was never indicted but did have to testify and I believe his boss at the time was indicted.
No. Much more intelligent. CIA. CIA. CIA.

Great move, but Bush still needs to be impeached for his dereliction of duty and inaction in Iraq and New Orleans- it all starts at the top.

Speaking of bones, don't know if you caught the aftermath thread, but I've got a vision of you wildeyed and slobberingly drunken on politics like you were back in undergraduate school. Bloodletting is one of your favorite spectator sports. I know you've got to be loving every damn minute of this. More will follow? Legacies preserved, historical new heights of popularity? Go Clin, I mean Bush!

>>I agree, Rumsfeld had to go. However, as anyone noticed he "resigned" after the election. This should show the DUs that his resignation was not politically motivated.
He was sacked though. He didn't really resign of course. But you knew that.

I was disinterested in politics until late in grad school
