WASHINGTON, DC�
After nearly six years of service as Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld
announced his resignation Wednesday afternoon, saying that he had "proudly
accomplished everything [he'd] set out to bungle." "Years ago, I decided to
bog this great nation down in an extended, grueling foreign occupation, and
I'm happy to say that's exactly what I've done," said Rumsfeld in a farewell
address at the White House, during which he urged Americans to continue waging
the ill-conceived, mismanaged, and evidently unwelcome fight for democracy in
the Middle East. "Each of my actions�from undersupplying troops with body
armor to focusing on capturing Saddam Hussein while Osama bin Laden remained
free�has led America inexorably toward our current state of extreme crisis.
Well, anyway, goodbye!" President Bush expressed confidence that Robert Gates,
his nominee for Secretary of Defense, will be able to "fuck everything up the
rest of the way."
