White House: Rumsfeld replacement 'not going to happen'
Posted: 9/5/2006 11:29:29 AM

WHITE HOUSE (AP) - While the White House says it's made significant progress in the war on terror, Democrats are demanding that the architect of the war strategy step down.

But the White House says that's "not going to happen." And spokesman Tony Snow says administration critics are playing politics by trying to turn Defense Secretary Rumsfeld into a "bogeyman."

Leading Democrats have written to President Bush demanding changes in "the current civilian leadership." House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, her Senate counterpart Harry Reid and ten others say it's time to reject a "stay the course" policy.

But Snow says Rumsfeld's departure would be "lousy strategy."

2. "Architect" of what strategy???

Simply going around saying that we would be greeted with flowers and chocolates and that the occupation would pay for itself does not qualify as a "strategy."

3. Making the USA an axis of evil

He did a damn fine job of that.

6. There's no failure * won't stand by and defend vigorously...

Even if it kills him (and us).

7. I hope that after bush** goes down in flames, be it after 2008

or whatever, that Snow never finds another job again. Never. He's proven he's an arrogant lying bastard without one ounce of scruples, decency, and not one honest bone in his scaredy cat body.

Where's that picture of him in the helmet on that helicopter. That damn thing summed up the man's essence like nothing else could.
