Military Times newspapers to call for Rumsfeld's resignation

One of the leading military newspapers has ensured that President Bush and the Republicans will not control the final news cycle before the election. This Monday, the Military Times Media Group will call for the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. The news was leaked and posted as a breaking news caption for about 15 seconds on Friday evening during MSNBC's daily prime time show Countdown with Keith Olbermann.

However, the newspaper is not expected to take a stance on the midterm elections. It will add that Rumsfeld should resign or be fired regardless of who wins on Tuesday.

The Military Times web site, MilitaryCity.com, writes publications for the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. Monday's editorial is expected to be appear in all four.

This will add yet another voice to the growing number of prominent individuals within the military community that have already called for Rumsfeld's departure.
