No, it's not Mary Poppins.

The four or five regular readers of this blog will know that I have weighed in on Donald Rumsfeld before. He is one of the only members of the Bush cabinet with the intelligence and experience to play in the big leagues. That he has been able to hold the efforts of our armed forces in Iraq together this long, is a feat right up there with the loaves and fishes. He has been a responsible adult presence in an administration that has not been governing, as much as they have been dressing up in their mother's old gowns and playing tea party.

The new nanny has arrived, to take the children in hand. Her name is Nancy.

Old Donald has been asked to leave. It's probably the best thing, for him. For us? We'll soon see.

Farewell, old Donald. That crofter's cottage on the wintry moor awaits. I'm sure you will soon have it in good repair.

Maybe Donald was the right man for the job if we needed this war. But, we didn't needed it so good old Donald really was just muddling around in the national political pot. He needed to go.

I believe Rumsfeld is the first victim of GW trying to appease the Dems. He's the first and sadly, probably not the last.

Since Viet Nam we just don't seem to want to win wars. We pretend to put up an offense but don't go for the juggler. We are afraid to offend anyone. Rumsfeld most likely had his hands tied.
