There has been people both in Congress and in the Pentagon that is trying to find reasons to get rid of Rumsfeld. What's more, there are other people who are strategically placing themselve to replace Rumsfeld, among them Wolfowitz. I don't think Rumsfeld will be gone, but he will be weaken by this attack. He is already weaken with his comment made to the troops a month ago. I don't know if this is going to happen, but there is a possibility that Wolfowitz will take the day to day operation and Rumsfeld merely the puppet.

After all, Wolfowitz and his gang (Pearle, et al) has a different idea when it come to using the military. Rumsfeld's vision of a military entail the reduction of the GI and making it more mobile. More like get in, get the job done as soon as possible, get out. Whereas Wolfowitz's gang want use the military to get in, change the government, etc. Both form of military contradict itself. As I've said in the past, sooner or later the two camps will be fighting. It has started already.

Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz are very, very close and I'd bet if the old cogs in the party forces Rummy out, Wolfy would leave to write a book as well.
