I cannot help but think that if Donald Rumsfeld had resigned-or been fired- before yesterday's election, the GOP would have kept control of the Senate, not to mention saving considerable face...but he didn't, and now he's gone, along with the GOP's 3-branch governmental stranglehold.
Too much pride.
Never admit mistakes.
Never take accountability.
Good riddance.

Feel good. Very good.
The man has been committing war crimes for over 20 years- he SOLD (on behalf of Reagan )Saddam the oft-mentioned poison gas that was used on the Kurds and Iranians.
He has nearly ruined our military.
He has bankrupted the Pentagon and sold our troops out to his war-profiteer buddies at Halliburton, Bechtel, Blackwater etc...
When we WON WWII, we didn't do it by privatizing our military and awarding billion-dollar no-bid contracts to shadowy mercenary corporations...the Iraq war is making Rumsfeld's cronies very rich and the last thing they want is for it to end.
I was trying to figure out why the resignation didn't occur like the week before either. I don't know, but here's my guesses:
Most of the exit poll information I saw showed that those that did vote Republican, were also staunch supporters of the war. Having Rum resign might have looked like a sign of weakness in favor of the Democratic party way with all the speculation before the election that the Dems would gain seats. The other reason I think is they didn't realize how much they would lose on election day. I think it was worse than they had estimated it would be and now they are starting to take the steps to give them some time to turn the Rep image and actions around before 2008 elections. That's my guess.
I think it's just the latest in a long series of catastrophic political and tactical BushCo errors, all of which are caused by the inherent character flaws of the people involved.
They started believing their own bullshit- it's like a heroin dealer who starts using his own product- always a bad end.
