Military Newspapers: Rumsfeld Must Go
UPI | November 04, 2006
SAN FRANCISCO - Four publications of the Military Times Media Group plan to call on U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to resign, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
The Army Times, Air Force Times, Navy Times and Marine Corps Times will issue the call in an editorial scheduled to run Monday, the newspaper said.
The Chronicle published the text of the editorial on its Web site Friday.
The editorial says the truth about the war in Iraq "been difficult to come by from leaders in Washington." Instead, the editorial says President George W. Bush, Vice President **** Cheney and Rumsfeld have issued "one rosy reassurance after another."
The editorial notes that Bush recently said Rumsfeld would keep his job for the remainder of Bush's term in office.
"This is a mistake," the editorial says. "Rumsfeld has lost credibility with the uniformed leadership, with the troops, with Congress and with the public at large."
The editorial characterizes military officers as "loyal public promoters of a war policy many privately feared would fail," and says "they have kept their counsel private, adhering to more than two centuries of American tradition of subordination of the military to civilian authority
