I wish Bush had fired Rums at the start of his second term.

Results matter.

Anyone is an improvement on Rumsfeld for this job. I miss Rummy and his wonderful use of the English language but he was a dreadful secretary, at least as it comes to Iraq.

Having said that I am not sure that the best defense secretary in the world could have put enough lipstick on this pig to make it look like something other than a sordid mess.
