Rummy

Matt Yglesias:

Dan Drezner notes that today's mass announcement of cabinet departures ought to make it perfectly clear that Don Rumsfeld is here to stay as Secretary of Defense . . .

[. . .]


If anything, SECDEF will be the last to go. Bush won't switch horses mid-Apocalypse, not when he needs someone with the same warped ideolgy who has the experience Rummy does. Rumsfeld makes it work (not saying he's doing it well, sorta like McNamara) better than the rest of the Cabinet Secretaries who've resigned and he has to make Iraq work, at least hold the status quo. I get the feeling the Cowardly Liar can't afford to let him go right now, not until Iraq is moving on the right direction . . . sort of.
