8. I'd like to think so but

who the hell is dumbya going to replace him with? I want Rummy to go -- in abject disgrace if possible -- but it doesn't make me think the war will go better.

11. I voted NO, btw. (nt)

[ClassWarrior]

14. They didn't say "better" - just "change." So vote yes already!!

NGU.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. I'd like to say yes, but I worry that

Rumsferatu has fucked the whole thing up so badly that it might be too late for any other SecDef to fix the mess.

[ClassWarrior]

12. They didn't say "fix" - just "change." So vote yes already!!

LOL

NGU.

[Richardo]

13. This is the correct response

The next poor son of a bitch in there is literally in a no-win situation.

[ClassWarrior]

15. They didn't say "win" - just "change." So vote yes already!!

NGU.

[Richardo]

28. "change the outcome"

I say no. The outcome sucks and it will remain sucky no matter who is in there. Bush has seen to that.

[Cooley Hurd]

3. I guess, by the results so far, that people think Iraq is FUBAR

4. I'm afraid that if he resigns, our troops will stay in Iraq longer . . .

Which would be a real loss, because they are needed HERE to IMPLEMENT Homeland Security, you know, all of that stuff about our Ports and Borders.

[blondeatlast]

5. 45% no; 55% yes. Move those mice, DU! nt

[marylanddem]

6. Weird question.

I voted "yes" but I truly believe he would only be replaced by another warmonger.

[babylonsister]

7. I picked no: the evil cabal will do what they want.

They obviously aren't listening to the military despite saying they do. I don't think anything would change, though I wish he'd go.

[Vincardog]

9. No FUGAR it will only may be change the timing.

Do you believe replacing Donald Rumsfeld as the secretary of defense will change the outcome of the war in Iraq?

Yes 45% 977 votes

No 55% 1175 votes
Total: 2152 votes

[ClassWarrior]

16. Then the answer is yes. "Change the outcome of the war" includes timing.

NGU.

[Vincardog]

19. Then the answer is no. The war will be as disaster as long as Dim Son is

pReznit.

[0007]

10. Replacing junior would for sure. Rummy no way!

[ClassWarrior]

17. Correct, but we need to start the dominoes toppling...

NGU.

[aquart]

18. Weird way to phrase the question.

[Fridays Child]

20. The poll should be more specific. Change the outcome in what way?

When I think about the history of this administration, "frying pans" and "fires" always come to mind.

The only thing that will change the outcome of the war in a meaningful way is for the U.S. and the other coalition forces to withdraw. If it takes replacing Rumsfeld to do that, then he needs to go. But the act of simply replacing Rumsfeld guarantees nothing.

[rodeodance]

24. i think the question assumes a positive direction if Rummy went. but I am

assuming that.

[Fridays Child]

37. "Positive," for the right wing, can be summed up by a sign...

...I saw at the Cindy Sheehan counter-protest in Crawford: "Kick their ass and take their gas."

Not trying to be argumentative. Just saying that I don't know what was in the mind of the person who created that poll.

:hi:

[ShortnFiery]

21. Done. I voted "YES"

Getting rid of a PNAC promoter is one hell-of-va GOOD START! :-)

[rodeodance]

22. 50-50 now

[saltpoint]

23. done. It's running 50-50 right now, on the nose.

[Jon8503]

25. Voted No because it does not matter now who the Sec of Def is,

this is a lost cause as we went into Iraq for all of the wrong reasons and there is not much we can do but get the hell out.

[ShortnFiery]

30. But it DOES matter. Rumsfeld is an Empire Builder ...

Every damn thing he does in for EMPIRE and NOT for the benefit, nor welfare of the troops.

Vote YES ---> shedding the PNAC crones is a damn good start!

[Eugene]

26. Dumping Rummy will limit the scale of the disaster, not stop it.

I reluctantly voted "yes" in the faint hope that
new leadership might stop BushCo from compounding
their blunder by attacking Iran.

Do you believe replacing Donald Rumsfeld as the secretary of defense will change
the outcome of the war in Iraq?

50% Yes 1931 votes
50% No 1923 votes

Total: 3854 votes

[melissinha]

27. No

Bush will pick someone worse, he always does... Makes no difference, the whole lot should be thrown out...

I have one suggestion for the next democratic President: John Murtha

[kayice]

29. Choice should have been ---charge Rumsfeld with war crimes. nt

[ShortnFiery]

31. No one can do MORE damage that Rumsfeld!

I believe that with my heart and soul.

Please, vote YES!

[Old Vet]

32. 50% Yes 50%No I voted No-Unfixable

[ohioliberal]

33. I voted yes!!!

and now it's 50% yes and 50% no.

[ShortnFiery]

34. Hey, good sign - not a panacea, but a positive thought - a start?

Yes 54% 3095 votes
No 46% 2678 votes

Total: 5773 votes

[banana republican]

35. 54/46 nt

[appleannie1]

36. 54% yes

46 no

[ShortnFiery]

38. dupe - self delete

[bklyncowgirl]

39. I voted no--If Rummy'd been fired when the looting started--maybe

Things are to far gone right now. It would take a combination of Generals Eisenhower & Washington with a little Ulysses S. Grant thrown in to fix this disaster.

[Radical Activist]

40. No. Bush is the problem.

[lastknowngood]

41. The outcome has already be determined. Dose no one remember Afghanistan?

n/t

[DuaneBidoux]

42. Voted yes but...obviously a hard one to agree on for DU folks.

[wicket]

43. Done! Needs help!

:kick:

[zann725]

44. Done too! Agreed...we need MUCH more help. Just 54% think Rummie 'change'

would change Iraq?!! This poll's obviously been Freep'd...(OR Dem's are en route to Holiday plans?)

[ProudDad]

45. I voted NO

They'd just put another rummy clone in.

The military is the wrong instrument.

Once you have to use the military, you've lost!
