Well, the democratic victory in the mid-term election is complete. It is the iceing on the cake, and I can hear the dancing in the streets now.

The terrorists, the UN, and the Democrats all got there wish. What exalted company our current congressional leaders find themselves in.

From CNN:

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, architect of an unpopular war in Iraq, intends to resign after six stormy years at the Pentagon, Republican officials said Wednesday.

Officials said Robert Gates, former head of the CIA, would replace Rumsfeld.

The development occurred one day after congressional elections that cost Republicans control of the House of Representatives, and possibly the Senate as well. Surveys of voters at polling places said opposition to the war was a significant contributor to the Democratic Party’s victory.

President George W. Bush was expected to announce Rumsfeld’s departure and Gates’ nomination at a news conference. Administration officials notified congressional officials in advance.

I am sure Rumsfeld, who realizes funding for the war depends on congress, could see the writing on the wall. There have been consistent calls from the left for Rumsfeld to step down. This places more and more responsibility in the party who, so far, has nothing to offer but rhetoric.
