During his time doing criminal acts for the bush administration, Donald Rumsfeld was quoted as saying:
"And while some argue for tossing in the towel, the enemy is waiting and hoping for us to do just that. Early on, I learned from my dad — a veteran of World War II — that if you start quitting things, pretty soon you’ve become a quitter.”
Which is stunning because those that are responsible for creating the travesty that is Iraq have quit their positions under bush and most are considered to be criminals in the eyes of the world.
Here is a partial list of prominent Bush administration resignations since the 2006 midterm elections, all of which occurred in conjunction with some sort of major scandal in their relevant field:
Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense, November 8, 2006
John Bolton, Ambassador to the United Nations, December 4, 2006
Harriet Miers, White House Consul and former Supreme Court nominee, January 4, 2007
Francis Harvey, Army Secretary, March 2, 2007
Monica Goodling, Justice Department White House liaison, April 6
Peter McNutly, Deputy Attorney General, May 14, 2007
Sara Taylor, White House Political Director and microtargeting guru, May 27, 2007
White House Counselor Dan Bartlett, June 1, 2007
Gen. Peter Pace, Joint Chiefs of Staffs Chairman, June 8, 2007
Rob Portman, White House Budget Director, June 19, 2007
William Mercer, Acting Associate Attorney General, June 23, 2007
Jim Nicholson, Secretary of Veterans Affairs, July 17, 2007
Karl Rove, Senior Political Advisor and Deputy White House chief of staff, August 13, 2007
Alberto Gonzales, Attorney General, August 27, 2007
By my count thats 14 quitters in less than a year. AND this is just a PARTIAL list!
With this obvious exceptions of Bush and Cheney themselves, virtually every major Bush administration figure involved in the decision to INVADE Iraq has quit.
They "cut and run" leaving the military to clean up the mess they have made.
How does that make all you military personel feel?
Being abandoned by YOUR leaders.

Didn't you say that the government has 40 years to prosecute troops that go AWOL?
Can the same be done to these quitters?
I guess the only ones that know that there is a war going on are the idiots in Iraq that are fighting it. It's not like our government is acknowledging it. As far as they're concerned it's over. At least for the quitters it is.
