RUMSFELD to RESIGN tomarrow?!!?

[nattynattygurrl]

ok, there's a "rumor" online-- & while I wouldn't usually participate in the "rumor-mill", the news was so earth shattering, I just had to share it w/ all of you!!


Comedy Central's website is "reporting",
laughing: ok, try to hold your laughter 'til the end, please!!),
that Rumsfeld will resign tomarrow!!??!!

:jawdrop:

did Comedy Central just become a "legit news op" by scooping the 'real' news outlets on the Rumsfeld resignation?!?
great, now I'm laughing! how perfectly helarious would that be!!

According to Michael Brendan Dougherty, an Assistant Editor at The American Conservative...

The buzz I'm hearing from a friend, and a totally unconfirmed White House source (remember Comedy Central doesn't have journalistic standards), is that Rumsfeld will be out of the administration tomorrow.

This is a shocker even to the totally unnamed source in the White House. Already, we are seeing reports of a White House Press conference scheduled for tomorrow at 1 p.m. Could this be it?

Now, obviously someone liveblogging for Comedy Central may not be telling the complete truth. Apparently, however, Bill Kristol was on Fox News tonight predicting that Rumsfeld would be resigning tomorrow. It would be an interesting and somewhat plausible move from a President who is coming to grips with the fact that the next two years of his life are going to be a living hell if it doesn't start actually giving in a little.

What do you all think? Possible? Probable? Inconceivable? What might the implications be?

this will probably turn out to be a cruel hoax & ruin what little "credibility" I might have!!
& yet, I can't help but to at least consider & explore the possiblity!
so shall we??

I don't see this being very likely, when one considers what Cheney said Sunday on Meet the Press-- the administration will continue "full steam ahead" in Iraq, no matter how the election turns out. (ie: "stay the course!")

-add to that- Bush's statement last week-
that Rumsfeld would stay on as Sec. of Def. for the remainder of his term-
& it appears even less likely.


however, given the recent outcry, coming from all 4 'branches' of the Military Times publications, (Army, Navy, Air Force, & Marine Times), which came out Mon. calling for Rumsfeld's ouster...

& given the fact that two of the "Iraq war archietects" & former members of the Bush administration, Richard Perle & Ken Alderman, spoke out against the Bush administration's prosectution of the war in Iraq, in this weeks Vanity Fair magazine...

A group of neoconservatives led by former chairman of the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board Advisory Committee Richard Perle and former Pentagon insider Kenneth Adelman tell Vanity Fair that they blame the "dysfunctional" Bush administration for the "disaster" in Iraq and say that if they had it to do over again they would not advocate an invasion of Iraq.

now add in the results of the election, & it seems a tad more plausible...does it not??



well, hoax or not, a girl can dream, right?? :wink:

& on that note, it's off to bed for me-- while visions of a House-Senate victory & possible Rumsfeld resignation, dance in my head!!


hope this finds you all well!!
be peaceful, my friends!!

If he does, I'm throwing a party for it
Man, that would make my day right there, the fucker resigning....

 

[Silver Bullet]

Some 'expert' on a CNN talk show is saying that Rumsfeld definately wont be around for the rest of Bush's presidency and will probably be gone within the next 6 months.

Rumsfeld has already offered his resignation to Bush a couple times (like a couple years ago when iraq started going sour), which Bush refused.

yupyupyup ! He has resigned ! Bye bye Rumsfeld Pig !

Irie !

thanks ..was just getting back on to edit I found something on cnn...thanks natty

 

[Mr. Nevermind]

the replacment is from his fathers admin, more of a realistic view than the Neo con view. Bushs father knew not to go into bagdad or it would be a mess. So hopefully we will get this mess cleaned up.

I think Bush knows that nothing he wants will get passed so he is geting rid of lightening rods in his admin to try to reach more people in the house. Good news for our troops





nevermind

Thanks natty doll!
And now its confirmed by The Prime Minister Bush. This thread was like Comedy Central Speaks thru NattyNattyGurl to tell us the future!

Down with CNN up with Comedy Central! Ok maybe not down with CNN I think they deserve a chance to recitify being outscooped by the Comedy Network but then again hasn't the american political climate been an enduring satirical tradegy for the greater part of the last decade, although that is niether here nor there!

BIG LOL, i just get back from lunch check in the forum and smash, natty's scoop brought a smile to my face. Thanks for the laugh.

OUR LONG NATIONAL NIGHTMARE IS OVER!!!

OUR LONG NATIONAL NIGHTMARE IS OVER!!!

no problem, my dear HF!! :smile:

wow..as I sip some tea, & try to awake from a seriously late night,
I am struck by the fact that there was no choice for Bush or Rumsfeld.
& Bush completely over-ruled Cheney on this one!!!

Rumsfeld did NOT want to go through hearings while being Sec. of Def.
when they realized the Dems have supenia power, it was all but over for Rummy.

supenia power in the hands of the Dems is their worst nightmare!!!
we've been waiting for years to see some accountability & here it COMES!!!

oh & get this--
Bush said the following in his press conference about Carl Rove:
"obviously he didnt work as hard on the election as I did." [paraphrasing]
:jawdrop:

only possible ramification for the Dems is that there's no longer a "whipping boy" as obvious as Rumsfeld has been/ was.
this could prove problematic for Dems, as they will now have 2 years under which Iraq becomes THIER problem & responsibility, as it as been STRICTLY the problem of the Bush & a Rep Congress.

the Dems will now OWN part of Iraq.
so they MUST get this right & tread carefully!!!

 

[GoodbyeBlueSky]

oh & get this--
Bush said the following in his press conference about Carl Rove:
"obviously he didnt work as hard on the election as I did." [paraphrasing]
:jawdrop:

'... and yes, he can read faster than me.' (yes, Bush said that too)

 

[nattynattygurrl]

yes, you are so right Mr.N!!
although, Gates was involved in the Iran Contra scandal.

you know Bush is thankful that his 1st move after taking office in 2001, was to make an exective order to seal the records of past presidents, (starting w/ Regan, who's papers were just about to be released), he had to cover for his dad & all of ppl who were once members of the Regan Admin.- many of whom were also selected as members of the Bush Admin.

thanks for coming by Easy Disco & GoodByeBlueSky!!


ohhh what a beautiful day!!!

Hey Natty

You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later.

Great news Break!

Yeah the Bush admin ( Bush 41) was a bit shady and they all have skelatons in the closet. But i am just glad that a cleary incompatent secratary of defense has been replaced. Finally some accountability! But just remember, the guy was in CIA for years so he has been doing some deep dark shit






nevermind
