Thanks Rumsfeld, for your career of service to your country.

I think the media'd care, but not the people

Next to fall: Bolton takes a dive off the UN Bldg.

I did, and I'm sure millions watched also. There are plenty of retirees, stay at home parents, students, people who work from home, and people who have access to television at work. Plus there are clips online at the network websites.

I just watched the President again. He introduced Gates as Rumsfeld's replacement.

I completely agree.

I guess I'd challenge how many actually tried to watch and how many saw it because it was there. How many people would miss it if it hadn't happened?

Are you serious?

You've admitted you didn't watch and thus have no real basis for your criticism, and now you're fighting an insanely irrelevant uphill battle in some effort to 'win' the argument? Why?

Stop. Maybe even get back to the OP.

Why are you trying to make an argumet about this? You're an idiot if you don't think this was something that should have been adressed immediately.

One can only dream...

As for Rummy - now that the House and Senate are Democrat does that mean he'll be called to account for his planning and policies ~ or his myriad of mistakes? One can only dream for this as well I fear... it's just too bad he took the easy way out of office.

Bolton is awesome.

If by "awesome" you mean "disgustingly arrogant and ignorant" then - well bash on... the guy is a moron who makes noises about 'whah - the UN is wrong and corrupt, it must be changed' while at the same time blocking every attempt to reform or change anything at the UN...

RA, I imagine Bolton is far more intelligent than you, so I don't think "moron" reflects well upon yourself. I like his arrogance, I know those in the foreign community would prefer America fund the UN and give it legitimacy without demanding a voice, but thankfully with Bolton that isn't the case.

I'd be esctatic that the legislature was run by a bunch of liberal Democrats. :)

Are you sure you're not from Mass?

I just don't know where I'm supposed to be from.

Being intelligent doesn't mean that one isn't a moron or ignorant - after Bush is supposedly intelligent...

Arrogance is one of the worst traits a diplomat can have, so I don't see how it can impress you... as for the UN funding - well as a foreigner I was happy to see Clinton pay off the US debts, and Bush to continue some funding. While yes the US deserves a voice, an important voice even, at the UN - that doesn't mean that it should be the leading or demanding voice; no country should have that at the UN.
