"I Have No Confidence in Rumsfeld"

It seems to be catch phrase du jour (first time I've ever used that phrase when not talking about soup, I swear). First Democratic leaders uttered it, then McCain said it, then even Trent Lott said it, and now Chuck Hagel has dropped the "no confidence" bomb.

And they're all right. Rumsfeld is a joke. No, he's not a joke, he's a bastard. His hands-off approach to this war is misguided and appalling. How dare he lie to the men who are getting shot at everyday for his mistakes. How dare he refuse to sign the death letters to GI families and instead have an automatic printer do it for him. Even Bush, who I'm sure has a lot more things to do with his time, signs each and every one.

What pisses me off is the lack balls here. All these people question Rumsfeld's leadership, yet come short of actually calling for his head. For instance, despite McCain's choice quote of saying he has zero confidence in Rummy, when questioned if he thought he should be removed, McCain responded with a weak "Bush can have the people he wants around him." Give me a break! Stop this partisan bullshit and actually stand up for what you believe, or rather what you know. Every lawmaker in Congress knows what a mess this administration, and more specifically Donald Rumsfeld, has made in Iraq. It's time they put away their red and blue pins and start acting like real representatives of the people, not just party players.
