The Military Times speaks truth to power and to America with its call for Rumsfeld to go. This is the beginning of the end for the Republican policy of failure, arrogance, corruption, dishonesty and war partisanship.

4. I`m anxious to hear Bush`s response
but his handlers will probably keep him safe and secure from reality. Sooner or later, Bush will have to face facts. He`s a complete, miserable failure.
