Fair 'n' Balanced "Fox Fans" speak out: SHOULD Rumsferatu Resign?
Rumsfeld Resignation?

What do YOU think of the job Rumsfeld has done as Defense Secretary? Is it time for him to step down?

E-mail us at speakout@foxnews.com and let us know

Here's what FOX Fans are saying:

“Rumsfeld is a great leader and a great secretary of defense. The old adage that ‘no good deed goes unpunished’ certainly applies to Rumsfeld. I feel bad for him. He doesn’t deserve the criticism that is heaped on him every day by know-it-all generals and the media. On this Good Friday, I am thankful for the leadership of this nation and pray that they will persevere in preserving and promoting freedom around the world. No matter what he or President Bush does, it would be wrong, according to those who are out of power in Washington.” — Sue (Cedar Hills, UT)

“I admire Donald Rumsfeld. Even my wife admires him. I think Mr. Rumsfeld is doing a great job with what he began with. With some of the generals that have retired lately, he should be able to have a more effective leadership with some of the dead weight removed from his presence.” — Eugene

“Should Rumsfeld resign? Heck no. Who are these generals to think that they should take the power from the people? Maybe they don't like his arrogance because he is a civilian. Maybe it is because they just don't like the current elected administration.” — Phil (Jacksonville, FL)

“No, he should not resign. I think he has done the best job that anyone could under these circumstances. This is a unique type of war and the fact that a few former senior officers don't like him and disagree with his direction comes as no surprise. After all, military leaders are political, too. I’ll become concerned about his performance when generals start risking their careers in opposing or criticizing him.” — Phil (Rensselaer, NY)

“I personally think Rumsfeld is doing a great job. I understand that he works under the pressure of the president and not the generals. I wish these generals would learn the chain of command.” — David (Muskogee, OK)

1. I'll bet Fox News *offshores* its fans.
The same way the RNC offshores its election fundraising.

2. it still amuses me just how stupid these FOX freaks are
Unfortunaetly, I don't think replacing Rummy will help our troops. Bush will just stick some other incompetent ass kisser in the job. Hey, I hear Brownie is out of work! Maybe Ashcroft?

6. My e-mail to faux:
It is a good idea to have a man in his seventies making decisions about whether young men should live or die. He has the life experience they might never get. Rumsfeld should not resign, he should hang in there. Old millionaires definitely make the best Secretaries of Defense. If those Generals were so smart, they'd have as much money as Rumsfeldt and Cheney. So what if he has people tortured? So what if Iraq's a mess? You go to war with the Secretary of Defense you have, not the one you'd like. Show some respect for your elders Generals!

9. It is truly frightening how much the Republicans who still support
this adminstration are lying to themselves. I have never seen anything like this in my 40plus years. Rumsfeld is doing a good job - with what, exactly????
