Rummy exit expected; Lieberman eyed for job

DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU

WASHINGTON - White House officials are telling associates they expect Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to quit early next year, once a new government is formed in Iraq, sources said yesterday.

What sources would that be, they don't even bother to say anonymous or un-named sources. I can just picture this WhiteHouses staff running out to leak a story like this to the Daily News, can't you?

Rumsfeld's deputy, Gordon England, is the inside contender to replace him, but there's also speculation that Sen. Joe Lieberman - a Democrat who ran against Bush-Cheney in the 2000 election - might become top guy at the Pentagon.

Yeah thats right if Rummy goes Bush is going to bipass all the logical and qualified choices to replace him with a Democrat. Why? I guess the White House knows they have been wrong to stick with Rummy so they'll pick Lieberman to make amends.

That's not as farfetched as it might first appear.

Yeah right, have another shot guys.

The Daily News has learned that the White House considered Lieberman for the UN ambassador's job last year before giving the post to John Bolton, a Bush adviser said.
"He thought about it for a week or so and finally said no," the adviser recalled.

Funny that this is the first anyone has heard this rumor. It was never even speculated back when the post for Ambassador was open.

A source close to the White House said Rumsfeld wanted out a year ago, after Bush's reelection, but neither he nor President Bush wanted his departure to appear to have been forced.

I like that statement in other words he is being forced out but Bush just doesn't want it to look that way.

"They didn't want to give the critics the satisfaction that their piling on was what got rid of him," a Bush adviser said.
Bush has told friends that Rumsfeld is a political liability, but the President has a history of sticking with his personnel baggage until an opportune moment.

Yeah you can just see Bush calling Rummy a liability can't you. I mean Bush's just consumed with the opinions of the Press.

"Only Rumsfeld will make Rumsfeld leave," a White House source said.
Rumors that Lieberman could replace Rumsfeld started flying early this week, and Bush and Vice President Cheney fanned the flames by quoting the former Democratic veep candidate's pro-war statements.

You know thats TRUE because only a Democrat vieing for placement of a position with the administration would ever say anything pro about the war. I mean what other reason could Lieberman possibly have to say anything positive about this war. It can't be true that he feels that way, so he must be doing it to get something.

The mention of Lieberman's name prompted some Democrats to whisper that he is lobbying for the job.
"Lieberman seems to be coordinating his statements on the war with the White House," a Senate Democratic source said.

There's your proof another Democrat says the only reason he said progress is being made in Iraq is because he's coordinating his statements, it has nothing to do with the fact that his statements were true.

The source pointed to a news conference this week where Lieberman urged his party not to undermine Bush. The timing of Lieberman's pitch, also this week, to form a bipartisan "war cabinet" to aid Bush was cited as well.

I mean my God he wants to work with the White House in a time of War, what other explanation could there be?

But Lieberman and Team Bush dismissed the rumors.
"The U.S. Senate is where Sen. Lieberman wants to be, which is why he is actively campaigning for reelection to his fourth term," the senator's spokeswoman, Casey Aden-Wansbury, said.

Everybody involved laughs it off, but you know there just covering it up.

What this story shows is that these two "reporters" are so lost in their hate for Rummy, that they will jump through what ever hoops they can imagine to validate their delusions. They can only see conspiracy in Liebermans statements because in THEIR MINDS it is the only explanation for a good Democrat like Lieberman to go against the lunatics that have seized controll of the Democrat party.
