Not a Good Week to be Donald Rumsfeld

Pressure against Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld continues. Previously, Sen. John McCain has stated that he has "lost confidence" in Rumsfeld. McCain's concerns about the war though didn't stop him from thratening to hold up all Senate business on the final day of the lame duck session unless the full body cast a vote for his pet project: a national boxing commission.

Other political figures are jumping aboard the ship on a collision course with Rummy. McCain was also joined by Sen. Chuck Hagel. And Sen. Trent Lott also said Rumsfeld should go.

You know, if it weren't for the Kerik misstep, I would have more confidence in the President's judgment. Certainly there were mistakes made in the prosecution of the war. Maybe it is a good idea to get some new ideas in there. At the very least, it would would quiet some critics. If that happens, the Pentagon will no longer be able to utilize the fighting style of Donald Rumsfeld.
