    CNN and the AP are reporting that Rumsfeld is stepping down.

    I have nothing to say. Just kind of stunned.

    The press conference is on NPR right now.

    Rumsfeld is out, former CIA director Gates is the new defense chief.

    About Face! Change of course is coming.

    I predicted to martin last month that Rumsfeld would be gone within 30 days of the election, but I didnt expect him to be gone within 24 hours!

    It makes sense. President Bush can rush the new guy in before the Democrats are officially sworn into control.

    I guess the war will be run by the generals from here on out. What a welcome change.
