Who is in charge of the Pentagon?
If Rumsfailed has been fired who is running the Military?

1. Read James Carroll's
"House of War." It provides an interesting take on "who is in charge of the Pentagon?"

at the moment.

He said he will not step down until his replacement is confirmed. That was why some Dems were so anxious to confirm Gates, but Gates is just a new face for the same crew.

5. I hope the Dems stall the Hearings on Gates.
Once Dems are in power they should reject Gates and force Busholini to appoint someone that is not in bed with the
BFEE. Let Rumsfailed keep being the failure that he is until a suitable replacement is appointed.
