"Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, architect of an unpopular war in Iraq, intends to resign after six stormy years at the Pentagon, Republican officials said Wednesday.

Officials said Robert Gates, former head of the CIA, would replace Rumsfeld. The development occurred one day after midterm elections that cost Republicans control of the House, and possibly the Senate, as well. Surveys of voters at polling places said opposition to the war was a significant contributor to the Democratic victory. "

Here's the question people should be asking. Who pulled the name Bob Gates out of the grave? Bob's been gone since the end of Bush I, and he's part of Poppy's circle, not part of W's and not part of Cheney's. Did Baker manage to give jr an offer he couldn't refuse? Did Poppy? Where the hell did this one come from?
