Army Times to call for Rumsfeld's resignation

Now what is really affecting the moral of the troops? It isn't John Kerry. It is a complete lack of leadership in Washington.

(CNN) -- An editorial to be published Monday in independent publications that serve the four main branches of the U.S. military will call for President Bush to replace Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.

"Basically, the editorial says, it's clear now, from some of the public statements that military leaders are making, that he's lost the support and respect of the military leadership," said Robert Hodierne, senior managing editor for the publications' parent company Army Times Publications.

"That they're starting to go public with that now, with their disagreements, added up with all of the other missteps we believe he's made, that it's time for him to be replaced," Hodierne.

Army Times Publications publishes the Army Times, Navy Times, Air Force Times and the Marine Corps Times.

It is the second time the publications have called for Rumsfeld to resign.


I know some of the Conservative readers may say "What do you expect? it's from CNN, and we all know how the "Librul Media" feel about our troops."

Well, read the full editorial at The Army Times.

I've heard the rumble from this starting back in 2004 from some people I know who deal with the consequences of his actions.

I think he's just a tired old man doing things the way he's always done them, which doesn't cut it anymore on a 21st century battlefield. It's hard for people to understand just how old he is- just look at some of the Presidents he's worked with!
