Durbin on Rummy: Take a confidence vote - get the Senate on record!

[Coexist]

Via Micheal Moore this great article:

Senator Dick Durbin was out "talking to other lawmakers" about something very interesting:

Durbin, the Senate's second-highest ranking Democrat, said he is talking to other lawmakers about the possibility of voting on whether they still have confidence in Rumsfeld.

"Let the Senate go on record," he said.

His call comes after six retired generals have publicly called for Rumsfeld's resignation, accusing him of mishandling the Iraq War, ignoring advice of field commanders and managing arrogantly.

Another Illinois Democrat, Sen. Barack Obama, has suggested Rumsfeld should go.

"If the president wants to continue to be saddled by somebody who the military thinks is ineffective, then that is his authority as commander in chief, but I think it's one more bit of bad judgment" Obama said Monday.

Cheney's Chief of Staff, Defense Secretary... kick the foundation out from underneath them, and watch the entire structure fall.
