I dunno. Would prison be considered retirement?

No, a lucrative book and speech deal followed by signing on as "special consultant" to some defense contractor would be considered retirement. Don't expect to see anything different.

But I think Rumsfeld will "quit" and probably be given a medal like Tenet received. Like so many times before, when news like this is reported the subject of the news stories leaves "To pursue other interests" or "due to health considerations", but shortly after. To fire him now would be an admission that Bush DOES watch the news. That ain't happening.

But then again, at his age (74) he might actually RETIRE. Under pressure of course, but he might just call it quits.

Shame. I actually like the guy. Well, USED TO like him, until he started lying too much, and that "you go in with the army you have and not the army you might want" remark made him all the more despicable.


Not a day goes by that I don't see something that reinforces my belief that people are idiots.
