The Democrats want Rumsfeld out! So what else is new? Apparently a resolution by Senate Democrats to call for Rumsfeld resignation.
Leading Senate Democrats (such as Chuck Schumer D-NY) have been canvassing their colleagues views on such a resolution. Schumer said, "I believe there is a lot of sentiment to push for such a resolution, indeed."
This action started after California Senator Barbara Boxer declared herself offended by some remarks made by Secretary Rumsfeld last week. Boxer apparently finds the truth insulting.
In a speech last week Rumsfeld compared critics of the Iraq War to Nazi sympathizers in 1938 and '39. It seems that Senator Boxer finds this description insulting (it appears even the liberals aren't ready to claim kinship with the Nazis). I believe that history bears Rumsfeld out though, every reason that the Nazi sympathizers of 1938 and 1939 gave to stay out of the war has been used by the liberals in politics and the media today. Reasons such as "unnecessary deaths", "quagmires", etc.
The more I hear about Donald Rumsfeld the more I agree with what Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said, "I think Secretary Rumsfeld has done an excellent job. He'll be remembered as one of the great secretaries of defense."

And I believe that you conveniently forgot Hussein's threat both to his own people and to the world. Back in the late 90's when President Clinton decided that Saddam Hussein was a threat (or at least a diversion from Monica)every other liberal in the nation cried loud about how bad Saddam Hussein was. But heaven forbid that we should actually do something about it! Liberals are all talk and no action, which is why they lose elections.
