Because he is a moron.

Press Secretary, I believe, pretty much the Presidents' spokesman. Now, can I be a little smart -alecky? He was totally incompetent, glad to see him go.

Rummy is the reason they have to buy their own armor.\nHe is the reason we are stuck in a directionless quagmire.\n\nThey better than anyone know just how leaderless we are.\nor just how crazy and unworkable their plans are.\n\nAdd... It's all moot now since Rummy quit this morning.\nInteresting timing don't cha think!

This latest issue with Bush approving the turning over of control of our major ports to an Arab country is more proof that this president is clueless on how to keep America strong and safe.  While I very much approved of his appointments to the Supreme Court, over all I can think of no other president that has single handedly done more to destroy this country.  You want me to list a few topics? The economy, 8 trillion dept & counting, the enviornment & global warming, human rights-torture, our border crisis, the non-response to the Katrina disaster due to appointing one of his cronies as Fema director, creating a war that looks to have no end  while abandoning the legitamate one in Afghanistan, sending our troops, the best & bravest in the world, into battle without enough numbers or equipment and no clear objective... I could go on and on... anybody else?

First of all I AM MISTER SECRETARY RUMSFELD SIR to you dumb ass... and Georgie Boy fired my ass but I ain't goin' away. To the other shmuck it's spelled Halliburton! Dammit. I will issue contracts on ALL the generals that dared criticize me (I have enough money to cover it I hope, there's a lot of them!)... and about writing a  book... hmmm Hillary and Bill got away with it so why can't I? Screw you all, I'm eligible for the pension (which I don't really need)... made the Guinness Record Book for longest time in office, told the press they are all idiots with the CIC approving... what a great life! If you think I'm stupid enough to go there without 100 bodyguards and be incognito, you are crazier than the press! I might consider a contract on you too... and they say I ruled like a despot! What do they know?

Yes, but he won't. \n\nRumsfeld is the President's agent, as long as GWB needs him to take some of the heat Rummy will do it. If Rumsfeld left the buck would stop at George's desk.  Remember Dubya "makes decisions", and if the decision is nuts, let someone else deal with it.

He was lying, he admitted as much himself, end of story. What, are they going to say he was lying about lying, so that at least he told the truth twice? (LOL) Now, let's hope his previous statement (about Rummy staying until the end of his presidency) proves to be prophetic, and we can get rid of Bush, as well.

Forget all the things you hear about democracy and justice, who helped Saddam Hussein become powerful in the first place? Who sold him weapons? (Haven't you seen that video of Ramsfeld & hussain shaking hands?) It's just that the politions (Bush & friends) didn't need him anymore, he was no longer a obedient little boy, and ofcourse, president Bush needed more oil!

It is not all Rumsfelds fault, but he had to go. The failed policy's of the Bush administration which he is one has got to be changed and this is a start. The election yesterday sent a message to Washington and I think that they might not be ignoring it this time. I think it is a change for the better.

That is a very good question. Bush put him there so that's way up in the air. Time will tell. \nIt seems very odd, that the day after elections, Rumsfeld steps down. Makes me wonder why he's cutting and running. I think Maliki's call for us to keep troops on the ground in Iraq, Saddam's death sentence, and Rumsfeld's resignation are closely tied. I have a feeling there will be more fallout to come in the next few months. Rice? Cheney? Or with any luck, Bush? I suppose that would be asking too much.

LOL, rotflmbo, he could use a refresher course himself. All that stuff gets forgoten the minute that he got appointed to the presidency.

Rummy was fired.  He became a sacrificial lamb because he was the target of both sides.  The Democrats reviled him for having been the architect of much of the failed Iraq war policies.  And the military establishment hated him because the organizational reforms he put in reduced the number of bases and required more inter-service cooperation.\n\nMilitary officers despise base closings. Why?  Because every base requires a senior officer--a general or a colonel--as a base commander.  If you close a militry base, you eliminate a position for a general.  Fewer positions at the top mean fewer opportunities for promotion.   For years, the military has lobbied Congress to keep lots of unnecessary bases open.  It meant jobs for the Congressman's district and it meant jobs for the military officers.  Rumsfeld, to his credit, took on the brass and started to institute reforms.  They never forgave him.\n\nSame thing for purchasing.  Every branch of the service had its own procurement, which meant, for example, that the army had different helicopters from the marines, and the navy had different fighter planes than the air force.  It was (and mostly still is) a total waste of taxpayers' money.  Rumsfeld started to break up a lot of that, and the brass hated him for it.\n\nAnd then, when the Iraq war strategy began to unravel, Rumsfeld lost whatever civilian support he had had.  Now, Bush needs to get along with a Democratic Congress, and Rumsfeld is too much of a lightning rod.  He had to go.\n\nGood luck!!

probably no military as it seems all the retired ones disagree so strongly with Bush.  It is always interesting to see who gets on these things, but you can bet that someone like James Baker, Bush Sr.s man will be there to look after the boy.  Idiots got us in, and now we are supposed to be exited that this team of the same kind of "experts" are going to get us out.

Why should they?  He was just a front man for the screwy policies of Rumsfeld and Cheney, the two men who gave us our foreign policy.  (That's why Colim Powell quit, by the way.)  Bush is just a dummy.

Oh Neddie, and the fun has not even started yet.  I have no idea of how this fool can re claim his legacy.  Its as if his daddy got Bush Jr the presidency....and Jr. broke it.  Let this lame duck presidency be the analogy of sending him to his room for a couple of years.  Wonder why Cheney and Rove seem so glum/ quiet lately?
