    I've been waiting for this kind of story.

    Rumsfeld should have stepped down when Powell left, except Cheney was skeered. Now it has cost his party control of the Congress.

    Rummy had one of the best comeback lines of all time in a press conference. Well, he's had several good ones, but the best one was this. A reporter was dogging him about the bombing raids slowing down in Afghanistan. The reporter quoted some numbers showing the US air attacks were declining over a period of 2 weeks and implied the aerial portion of the war was not going well. The reporter summed his lame point up by saying, looks like you are running out of targets. Rummy grinned and replied, we are not running out of targets, Afghanistan is!

    That drew cheers from the other reporters and the slimy antagonist crawled back into his hole.

    I always enjoyed Rumsfeld's press conferences. He was masterful.
