Dear Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld,
People are saying that you should be fired.
Unfortunately, our President isn't smart enough to do so...yet...maybe ever.
To hell with that, I say. I say you should resign.
Well gee, quite a thought pattern there, huh? I think you should either be fired or that you should resign. I'm still a liberal, all right. However, there's more to my thinking you should resign than me just being a liberal.
Dude, why would you want to keep taking responsibility for this war? Why would you want to keep taking shots for Bush? Did you see what happened today? Here, take a look:

What a mess. Sure, you're partly at fault for it. You said, "Full speed ahead, there's weapons of mass destruction to be found!" Yeah, good call there. You find those yet?
However, Bush still could've stopped you. He could have forced his hand and said "I want more proof." But he cared about proof even less than you did, Rummy. He just wanted to finish what his daddy started (but, incidentally, not something that his daddy even WANTED to finish. Read his memoirs some time).
So why, Donny Rumsfeld, would you want to stick around to see the end of this? Why would you want to keep being called a liar, a murderer, a scoundrel? (I'm thinking British insults here, forgive me.)
Dude, look around you. There's like, you, Cheney, and Condi Rice still around from the first administration. The rest saw a sinking ship and jumped off before their lives got any harder. The only reason Cheney's still around is because he feasts on human flesh to keep himself fit. The only reason Condi has stuck it out is because...well, probably because she's the only high-ranking woman in the Bush administration and MIGHT be subject to less heat. But those days are numbered too.
So, with the casualties rising, the whole administration facing 1000 attacks from 100 different directions every day, and Iraqi, Iranian, and Afghanistani citizens making our nation look foolish, as well as money and oil-hungry, why do you want to stick around, Mr. Rumsfeld? I admire your loyalty, but come on! Don't you have pride? Don't you have dignity? Don't you have some hunting to do or something?
If I were you, I'd have left ages ago. I wouldn't want to take responsibility for a war that hardly anyone wants anymore. I'd have grown tired of constant attacks on my character and legacy. I'd be sick of taking bullets for a man whom I probably hold a great deal of contempt for (don't deny it Rummy...I see the contempt in your eyes...you have it for everyone!)
In conclusion, Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense, can you look me in the eyes and honestly tell me that the hits you take every day are worth it? Can you look into the eyes of the mother who has lost her son or daughter to this war and honestly tell them that they did what they did for the right reasons? Hell, some of those soldiers probably didn't even like you! Can you honestly tell me that you have nothing better to do than speak up and defend this, the world's worst war-zone mess?
You're probably a proud man, Mr. Rumsfeld. I know that the last thing you'd like to do is admit that you and your administration were wrong. Still, look at who and what you're taking the blame for. Is this how you want to spend what will probably be the last years of your life?
Walk away while you've still got legs to walk on, Rummy.
