Or, asked to quit resulting in his resignation, I should say... Being replaced by former CIA director, cant remember his name... Discuss!

well i guess that's good, but whoever replaces him will no doubtly be as bad if not worse in one area or another. Like that southpark episode during the last presidential election said..."It's like choosing between a douche and a terd sandwich."

Firing Rummy. That'll teach those darn fanatical terrorists to mess with the ol US of A. I bet they are shaking in their boots now. They are probably so confused that they don't know which IED to set off next or whether is was Makmood or Muhammed's turn to go on a suicide mission.

I hope this new guy is a fan of Aliens and comes out in his first press conference and says "I say we nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

the guy bush wants to replace him with is Gates, he is a close friend of the family (to george sr.), the senate has to sign off on it and dems might be in control after recounts today. Successor will have to be sympathetic to both sides to get appointed.

In DC that's a bit of an unprovable technicality. Fired, resigned, stepped down, "want to spend more time with my family" - It's all the same thing. He serves at the pleasure of the Prez and Bush showed him the door. I doubt he woke up and said "I'll quit today." I don't think he is a quitter that suddenly assumes that others could do a better job than he can. That's what I'm thinking anyway. I could be wrong.
