Fire Sale at the White House. I guess Bush had second thoughts only a week after affirming Rummy will stay. Must have been his convictions.

You lose a point for not comparing Bush to Hitler.

I think Bush did it right this time. It would not have been cool to offer Rumsfeld up as red meat a few days before the election.

That is true in a limited political sense. However, we're in a war and Bush had a SoD who was proven incompetent at the job a looong time ago. It might have hurt Republican political chances further, but he had a duty as Commander-In-Chief to get a new SoD and he chose to ignore that.

Not about hurting Republican political chances, it's about doing the right thing by everyone involved. You don't throw your SecDef to the wolves a few days before an election. It wouldn't be the honorable thing to do to Rumsfeld and it would make it look like Bush was trying a desperation measure simply for better results at the polls.

It's a no-no.

Comparing someone to Hitler these days is sooooo cliché...

I'm waiting for it to come full circle and become 'hip' again.
