Calls for Rumsfeld's Resignation
Oliver Willis says Rumseld should resign.
So does David Obey (D-WI), the highest ranking Democrat on the Appropriations Committee. Obey also calls for the resignation of Wolfowitz.
The Capital Times joins the call in this editorial.
After talking with military and diplomatic experts, assessing reports from Iraq, and visiting with his constituents in northern Wisconsin, U.S. Rep. David Obey, D-Wausau, came to the conclusion that Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz must go. Obey, the ranking Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, argues that the shift is necessary to restore relations with allies whose help is needed to stabilize Iraq and begin a serious process of turning power over to the Iraqi people. Additionally, Obey argues that changing the bosses at the Defense Department will help renew confidence in the administration's pronouncements.
Obey's assessment is rooted in genuine concern for America and Iraq. The Bush administration ought not reject this wise counsel. It is time to replace Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz.
Yale Law Prof Jack Balkin has some advice for Bush and Rumsfeld--learn the value of dissent.
