A number of pundits have reflected that Bush can't (politically) fire Rumsfeld, since it would invalidate everything he's tried to achieve in Iraq - it would be seen as an admission (right or wrong) that the 'leftys' we correct all along. I'm still not certain, but I have a feeling they may be right. If so, how big an admission of failure would it be to dump Cheney?
