Newspapers for troops call for Rumsfeld's ouster

[BoatBuoy]

"An influential chain of newspapers considered must-reading by military forces from California to Baghdad will call for the ouster of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld in a scathing editorial to be published Monday.

"Rumsfeld has lost credibility with the uniformed leadership, with the troops, with Congress and with the public at large. His strategy has failed, and his ability to lead is compromised. And although the blame for our failures in Iraq rests with the secretary, it will be the troops who bear its brunt," the editorial says, according to an advance copy released Friday. "The time has come, Mr. President, to face the hard bruising truth: Donald Rumsfeld must go."

The editorial will run in the 250,000 copies of Army Times, Navy Times, Marine Corps Times and Air Force Times. The newspapers are published under the umbrella Military Times Media Group by Gannett Co. Inc., not by the U.S. military, and have been popular among American forces since World War II."

BB,
I read the Air Force Times quite a bit.
I would be willing to bet that article will be on the "Opinion" page. There are ALWAYS two opinions on that page. They sometimes are about different items, and sometimes they are the opposites on the same item.
However, they are never the same on both items. I have seen a lot of articles on that page that I didn't agree with. As long as it wasn't the "Bush is Bad" mantra, (because the "Bush is Bad" mantra has been saying nothing different for 8 years), I will read it. It gives me insight to the other side of the opinion.
