Lott: Replace Rumsfeld

Mississippi Senator Trent Lott has today joined a chorus of other politicians concerned with the performance of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Speaking in Biloxi, Lott expressed his displeasure with Rumsfeld's performance,

"I would like to see a change in that slot in the next year or so," Lott said. "I'm not calling for his resignation, but I think we do need a change at some point."

Just on Monday, Senator McCain also told the Associated Press that he had "no confidence" in Rumsfeld as well. Overall, there are probably many more Republican Senators and Representatives who have grown weary with Rumsfeld grave mis-steps, but they have not yet expressed these feelings for whatever reasons. In time, the voices will only become louder as the situation in Iraq continues to deteriorate.
