[krkaufman]

(1) Bush's commits to keep Rumsfeld.

(2) Military press calls for Rumsfeld's ouster.

(3) GOP Senators and Congressmen get behind call for Rumsfeld's removal.

(4) Bush removes Rumsfeld on Monday or Tuesday.

(5) GOP Senators and Congressmen are portrayed by the pandering media as reformist heroes who forced removal of Rumsfeld.

1. It might have helped 'em some, a month ago.

Little too late now, tho . . .

2. This one is plausible,

since there wouldn't be much time for calling "flip flop" and other forms of ridicule. Still, it would stink of desperation. Hmmmmm.

3. Too late

You've gotta do shit like that before the weekend. Especially since it takes forever to sink in with the public.

[nevergiveup]

4. I was thinking the same thing

this evening. The media would eat this up and probably cancel all election coverage. I do, however, think there is a possibility that the public would see this as a sign the administration is crumbling.

[sueh]

5. Firing Rummy now won't help the repukes on Tuesday, but...

it will make ME feel a lot better. I say go ahead and fire the bastard.

6. excellent response.

7. So if he does, it'll just be "another one bites the dust." Hey Hey!

Out is the only answer for the entire fucking team! OUT OUT OUT!

And on edit:

ITS CHEERLEADER TOOOOO! :puke:

8. He's a dangerous nutcase that controls the most powerful military in the world.

Frankly, I don't see Dimson changing his mind...he is the Decider after all. It would be a monumental Flippity-Flop. Sorry military, join the majority in not having your interests represented.
