NYT: New Jersey GOP Senate hopeful Thomas Kean Jr. calls for Rumsfeld to resign. "What compelled [Kean] to advocate publicly for a 'fresh face' leading the troops, Mr. Kean said, were Mr. Rumsfeld’s recent remarks chiding critics of the war for 'moral and intellectual confusion,' and comparing them to those who advocated appeasing Nazi Germany in the 1930’s. 'By engaging in that kind of rhetoric, this secretary has stepped over the line,' Mr. Kean said." Also, Frank Rich recalls when Rumsfeld cozied up to Saddam Hussein. NRO's Larry Kudlow: It is too late for Bush (and Rumsfeld) to make this sale. "Unfortunately, there is no political value-added between now and the election for this rhetorical Iraq offensive."
