Senator Byrd Calls for Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld to Resign
U.S. Senator Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., has called for President Bush to ask for the resignation of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Byrd is the longest serving member of the Congress and the third-ranking Democratic member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. He has seen some of the low points in the American foreign policy throughout his career. Senator Byrd believes that there ought to be accountability when policy leads to disastrous consequences, and, in the case of this Administration, that accountability ought to start with the man who is responsible for the ill-fated war and reconstruction plan in Iraq: Secretary Rumsfeld. Byrd also hopes that a new Secretary of Defense would send an important signal to the world that the United States is willing to consider new approaches and alternatives to the sole-minded approach that this Adminstration seems wedded to.Photo credit: Senator Robert Byrd.
