Subject: Re: Bush's Cabinet resignations
Does anyone expect Rummy to go?  If anyone should be fired and not 
resign, I think it is he.  But then again this might send the message 
that a mistake (or dare we say, mistakes) was made in Iraq. And as 
George made quite clear during debate number 2, this is not the case.
