In a fresh blow to the Republican Party's rapidly diminishing midterm election hopes, an influential US Army newspaper group is today calling on the Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, to resign for the "failure" of his military strategy.
The blunt message, published in the Military Times newspapers, which include the widely read Army Times, accuses Mr Rumsfeld of losing touch with military leadership and the American public.
The editorial, "Time for Rumsfeld to Go",says: "Rumsfeld has lost credibility with the uniformed leadership, with the troops, with Congress and with the public. His strategy has failed, and his ability to lead is compromised." It concludes: "The time has come, Mr President, to face the hard bruising truth; Donald Rumsfeld must go."
