Generals advance on Rumsfeld - Sunday Times - Times Online

Rummy is...well, rummy, it seems, but replacing him will not kill the policy which is the heart of the problem.

For that, both Cheney and Bush will have to go, for policies that are criminal.

Generals advance on Rumsfeld - Sunday Times - Times Online:

"REPUBLICANS are divided over the future of Donald Rumsfeld, America's embattled defence secretary, as a generals' revolt against his conduct of the Iraq war gathers force.
Senator John Warner, chairman of the influential armed services committee, declined to rally behind Rumsfeld this weekend. 'Senator Warner believes that the decision on whether to keep the secretary is up to the president,' his spokesman said.


President George W Bush interrupted his Easter holiday at Camp David to express support for Rumsfeld's 'strong and 'steady leadership' but has failed to halt the rising criticism.
Major-General Charles Swannack, commander of the 82nd Airborne Division in Iraq until 2004, warned that Rumsfeld could cost America the war: 'His arrogance is what will cause us to fail in future"
