I liked Rumsfeld, I really did. I was sorry to see him go. I used to watch his press briefings and I loved how he was so direct and no nonsense with the press corps. He's old school. And I like that. I've kept my muth shout on the whole resignation thing though, because I'm not in the military and I'm not a military strategist, so my feelings about him are based purely on a personal affinity for the man and not whether or not he actually used the right strategy in Iraq. Based on that, I don't really feel like I have an opinion on whether or not rummy is the right guy to be Secretary of Defense and so up until now I have had no opinion.

Up until I read this article (via Tammy Bruce, via Hot Air).

Troops expressed little pleasure at the departure of the man responsible for their protracted deployment to a hostile country where 2,839 of their comrades have died...

But these men [the troops] are also some of the last believers - people who are still convinced that Iraq can survive its present violence to become a stable democracy. "We're losing a lot of people over here, but they're not dying in vain," Sergeant Gomez insisted.

Hi Ms. Carwash Person! Congrats on your upcoming 2007 wedding. I found you from Moxie's place.

I too am a Rummy fan. He rocks. I'm quite a bit older than you, and, don't claim to know more about "the Donald" but I've followed his career for many many years, and, have studied his life even longer. I think only history will tell what a great man he is. As will our president.

Wow, it must be so hard to be a conservative in such a liberal town!

I'm going to continue to visit your blog. You've got lots of great things to say.

Hi Tony =) I couldn't agree more...the thing I like about Rumsfeld is one of the things I like about President Bush - they're both men who mean what they say and say what they mean.

About being a conservative in LA, eventually you just learn not to talk about your politics in public. Arguing with liberals is like banging your head against a very hard, thick wall.

I've bookmarked you too ;)
