Wow, that's huge. Thank you Rummy, you just made my day

Why didn't they/he do it before the elections? Odd timing

He always said he would step down if he could no longer be effective . . . well, with the new Congress - and potential Senate . . .

Change is good

And he's being replaced with Robert Gates. Another Bush 1 retread.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Yes but he will have to be OK'd by the Senate which looks like it's going to be Democrat controlled...

I'm sure he's already been rubber stamped by the Dem. leadership.

edit: He will be confirmed by the present Senate.

That was quick.

Actually it wasn't. Comes about 4 years too late.

This reminds me of a great old joke:

What do you call a boatload of lawyers on the bottom of the ocean?
A good start!
