Reporters Tom DeFrank and Dana Milbank were on MSNBC last night discussing the Rumsfeld resignation rumors.
They both said that Rumsfeld would have been fired long ago if things hadn’t been going so poorly in Iraq. Firing Rumsfeld now would simply be too embarrassing for the administration. It’s the key to Rumsfeld’s success: he’s so incompetent, it’s impossible to let him go –
MATTHEWS: Is anybody taking responsibility for saying we would be greeted as liberators?
MILBANK: No. The vice president certainly hasn’t. That’s not what anybody is doing. What is happening here is they’re hoping for an improvement, an uptick, in Iraq. That’s the sort of thing that could allow Rumsfeld to get out gracefully.
The snake is truly eating it's own tail. If things improve in Iraq then the administration will fire (one of) the guys who's responsible for making things go so poorly in Iraq, but as long as he's...
Aieeee!
