Chaney: "...America does not accept resignations in times of War".
Chaney is on C-SPAN live and we caught that statement before flipping the channel.

1. Does it accept impeachments?
Besides, I thought the war was over a year and a half ago.

Looks like they're gonna have to carry him out screamin' and kickin'...and that's one big man. Just wondering...do they make jumpsuits that large? Or would that be 'special order.'

Of course, he will be getting "rice pilaf" regularly. That's comforting at least.

2. So THAT's why Rummy isn't gone yet ... he's tried to resign but
guess they can't accept his resignation as long as we're AT WAR.

:sarcasm:

27. rummy has to give up the loot he stole too, be prosecuted and serve out
the rest of his miserable life in prison - and that pharmaceutical company that has the patent on the bird flu vaccinations that rummy owns - must be liquidated and all the funds and investments must be returned to the People's Treasury.

Jefferson did say that the tree of liberty must be refreshed with the blood of patriots.

26. Darth Vader can't be allowed to simply resign ..
He has to be immediately arrested, charged and convicted then sentenced to the slammer for the rest of his pathetic miserable life - and all of his Halliburton shares and profits and all his estates have to be liquidated and funds must be given back to the People's Treasury from where it was STOLEN.
