Donald Sensing sums up the BS currently surrounding the requests for Rumsfeld's head:

Long-time readers of this blog know that I have no membership card of the Donald Rumsfeld fan club.

But the calls for his head are both idiotic and deceptive. Idiotic because to hold the SecDef personally responsible for the actions of a handful of junior and mid-level enlisted soldiers, and even the command incompetence of a single brigadier general make me question the mental competence of those who say he should resign, be fired (Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, et. al.) or impeached (Charlie Rangel, who never runs out of stupid ideas, announced from the House floor today that he is preparing articles of impeachment).

Deceptive because Rummy is taking the fire, but Bush is the target. A more purely partisan, crass, politically-motivated campaign I have ever seen. And yes, I include the Ken Starr investigation.

The Dems' hot rhetoric will backfire, I think. Look for Kerrey's numbers to drop.

Indeed. This happened on Rumsfeld's watch and he should accept responsibility, however the soldiers involved are reservists who are not full time members of our military. In fact, the career or full time soldiers and sailors are probably pretty pissed that these idiots tarnished them. Also remember that the military has been investigating this since late fall or early winter and they were the ones who leaked the story. Via the ailing Instapundit. Get better Glenn.
