Rumsfeld is thrown on the barbie.

Nothing to spin. He's gone, and that's that. Hopefully, if Gates is
the guy, he'll do a good job. I'd offer others might be a better
choice, particularly Schwarzkopf or perhaps Honore, but time will tell.

The right guy is Colin Powell.

Er, no. See my reply to Scott. Powell isn't qualified, and IAC, he's
burned WAY too many bridges with WAY too many bureaucrats of all
political leanings.

He *is* the right guy, for a multitude of reasons, not the least of which is
in fact the misinformation campaign of which he was more victim than
co-conspirator.

I don't believe the American people feel poorly about him, and once the
"bygones" hand-shaking got out of the way, I truly believe he'd be a major
unifying force in solving the incredible problem Bush's puppeteers have gotten
the USA into, without continuing to throw young Americans on the fire.

There really *was* a good damned reason why Bush the Senior didn't take
Hussein off the count...
