They want him to fail, its a better story. LEAVE THEM ALONE TO DO THEIR JOB! Bush and Rumsfeld have a crappy deal, but they are the ones that have to solve it. And they are doing an excellent job with what they have to work with. Their not going to let polls sway them from their job, so lets support them and help eliminate this threat!!! It would not matter who was in office, the democrats would have went to war all the same, then they would be the criticized party. There is so much more progress happening here then the general media will ever report. Progress is is drama too, and its truth, but truth does not sell newspapers unless its manipulated.

Comment by Rob #28

Rob,

I’m afraid I must disagree with you on this one…

…the TRAITOR Bushiva CANNOT fire Dumbsfeld, because to do so would be to admit that…

…everything about Iraq is all wrong!

…Dumbsfeld’s failure is directly linked to Bushiva’s failure…

…and that simply will not happen, unless…

…the Dems take back the House and Senate in ‘04…

…and impeach and pprosecute these TRAITORS…

…’til then, look for Dumbsfeld, Bushiva and L’il Dick to “stay the course”…

The American people have accepted his incompetency for six(6)years and the mischief will continue for another(3)years. Research and history may prove me wrong, but this presidency and administration is the worst ever wrought upon the nation. Couple that with the corrupt republican congress and there appears to be a near disaster at hand. I read a comment by a blogger in another site who said that General Tommy Franks supports Rumsfeld because he thinks that Rumsfeld is doing a good job. Tommy Franks is the epitome of the Peter Principle in khaki. He and Rumsfeld are responsible for the mismanagement of resources and personnel in this meaningless war to the extent that they should be fired. However, the real culprit in this ongoing mess is the dolt in the White House. He started a senseless war that has killed thousands and squandered billions of dollars, and yet he says "stay the course". The American people are as much to blame for the killing/murders and looting of the national treasury as George Bush because they still support him. 67% don't want him impeached, even though 64% believe we are headed in the wrong direction. If ignorance is bliss, 'Tis folly to be wise. Bush doesn’t care what his ratings are at this point.
