Rumsfeld Steps Down as Secretary of Defense

Donald Rumsfeld resigned today, I think upon the request of President Bush in a concession to the Democrats. I know that many have been calling for his head for some time. Let's go over his record as defense secretary:

(1) Rumsfeld, with General Tommy Frank, commanded the military that made short work of the Taliban in Afghanistan. Al Qaeda no longer has a safe harbor in that country.

(2) Likewise, Rumsfeld and Frank made short work of the regime of Saddam Hussein and his sons in Iraq.

(3) The USA has had zero, as in none, zilch, nada successful terrorist attacks since 9/11.

(4) The leftoids claim that Rumsfeld's policies have increased terrorist activity in Iraq. But I see no evidence that the total number of terrorists worldwide have increased. Instead they are attracted to Iraq where our military can deal with them. Better that than having them sneak into the USA to attack civilians.

The "resignation" of Rumsfeld reminds me of when Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones fired coach Jimmy Johnson. Johnson had just brought the team from a 1 - 15 season to two consecutive superbowl victories, and he got fired!

I want to say thank you to Donald Rumsfeld. He has done a magnificent job.
