All 4 leading military papers: Donald Rumsfeld must go
That would be the Army Times, Air Force Times, Navy Times and Marine Corps Times. This is huge.
These newspapers are commercial newspapers sold to military personnel, not publications of the US military. Still, I would think they are widely read within the military.This editorial is scheduled to come out Monday, one day before the election.Rumsfeld has lost credibility with the uniformed leadership, with the troops, with Congress and with the public at large. His strategy has failed, and his ability to lead is compromised. And although the blame for our failures in Iraq rests with the secretary, it will be the troops who bear its brunt.
This is not about the midterm elections. Regardless of which party wins Nov. 7, the time has come, Mr. President, to face the hard bruising truth:
Donald Rumsfeld must go.
